they truly believe they HAVE to dismantle everything and start over and that a dictator is the only way, but hey at least he will be conservative.

"Dark Gothic MAGA" by Blonde Politics?  Yeah, I just watched that.  It's a bit much to process and nothing that I can anticipate will be implemented in Trump's lifespan, but if the vision of these Tech Libertarians comes to light, the retard-right and the moderate-right will realize MAGA is a lie.  There aren't enough racist-rights yet to make a shit.

And too busy. Until there is no work to get up and go to, no one is going to actually do anything. People live pay check to paycheck. They can’t miss work for some revolution. People aren’t poor enough. We don’t even have shanty towns yet.

People need to stop going to work if they really want to change anything.

But that won't happen because the middle class needs access to credit to survive.

there is no route to win over MAGA. All we can hope is that he moves so fast the leopards eat enough faces and it backfires.

I mean…y’all are starting to realize that we’re going to have to kill a bunch of these people in the war that they are starting, right? That’s how wars work.
It’s so fucking unnecessary and stupid (again, like most wars), but they have doubled and tripled down, and won’t stop until it’s an actual hot war.

Setting aside politics for the moment, I really think the only thing that might move the needle is a general strike, but I don't see that happening.

One of the problems with these techtards is that they have basically matured believing the rules don't apply to them:  bricks and mortar business, IP laws, regulations, etc.
It's really a chronic case of too cool for school.

Idiots like that eventually find out that they’re not too cool for lead. Everyone bleeds. Stupid, but here we are.

Even if we tried organizing a general strike, half the country doesn’t pay attention and wouldn’t know they were supposed to be striking.

With Trump’s fine work we will have to kill a lot less.  And the ones that survive will be a lot easier to kill.  Just drop off some Krispy Kreme’s.

Id love to see who has health problems that count on the govt for assistance - right vs left.  LFG

What

the

fuck

Trump's Department of Homeland Security has now budgeted as much as $200 million on anti-immigrant ads -- and the first round of them make clear his administration intends to use this immense amount of public money to very specifically promote Trump, both in America and around the globe.

The ads also happen to look, sound, and feel exactly like campaign ads.

Both ad versions include soaring music and feature numerous snippets of Trump in action -- saluting troops, waving around, signing executive orders, speaking at podiums -- to the point where the casual viewer would likely have no idea they are watching their tax dollars being burned on these TV ads.

Polling is plummeting for Trump and musk.

https://www.nj.com/politics/2025/02/major-trouble-for-donald-trump-in-new-polling-is-chaos-catching-up-to-him.html

Quote

The poll pointed out:

Both Trump’s net favorability and net approval — meaning the difference between the share with a positive view and the share with a negative one — were higher than they ever were during his first term as president.

But Economist / YouGov Polls since then have shown Trump’s approval rating and personal popularity both falling over the past two weeks; this week’s poll finds Americans are less likely to approve of Trump (46%) than to disapprove (48%), and less likely to view him favorably (46%) than unfavorably (52%).

Trump is losing younger Americans:

Two weeks ago, 50% of adults under 30 had a favorable opinion of Trump, while 46% had an unfavorable opinion; today, 39% have a favorable opinion and 57% have an unfavorable opinion.

Trump’s favorability among adults aged 30 to 44 has also fallen, from 45% favorable / 51% unfavorable to 42% favorable / 55% unfavorable.

Meanwhile, Musk’s popularity if falling fast.

Those who have a very unfavorable opinion of Musk increased 7 percentage points in the past week, to 43% from 36%. This shift was especially pronounced among Independents and younger adults.

In its crusade against federal agencies, the Trump administration is targeting our election system, making potentially dangerous reductions to protections that help keep elections free, fair, and secure. On Friday, the acting director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency sent a memo to all agency staff notifying them that “all election security activities” would be paused pending the results of an internal investigation. The memo also stated that the administration was cutting off all funds to the Election Infrastructure Information Sharing and Analysis Center—a Department of Homeland Security–funded organization that helps state and local officials monitor, analyze, and respond to cyberattacks targeting the nation’s election hardware and software.

You have to have a voice from someone that people will coalesce around. It would be cool if that is Buttigieg because is one of the smartest human beings on the planet. He has a higher amount of intellect in his pinky than this entire administration has combined. Thank God he’s an American. He’s what we need leading us, but instead we get grifters stealing everything including the kitchen sink.

Well, Congress was supposed to stop something like this from ever happening, but the Ds are outnumbered and the Rs are scared shitless to stand up to Trump. They are more concerned about their future political careers and the very real prospect of getting primaried in 2 years if they don’t support everything that Trump and Elon want. Elon has said he will contribute $100MM to primary people who aren’t team players.

Look at how easily they bullied Senator Joni Ernst into confirming Pete Hegseth. She’s a sexual assault survivor and an outspoken advocate against sexual assault and was respected across the political aisle for that, but they threatened her and she flipped her stance to confirm a man accused of sexual assault and with a very poor history of treating women. That was a dress rehearsal for any future opposition within the Republican Party and the message was highly visible to the rest of Congress.

Polling doesn't mean shit anymore.  We passed that in November of last year. 

We had the inverse of Four Weddings and a Funeral last year so I stepped away for awhile, and two months into 2025 and one is inclined to view an island as rather peaceful as long as one can perform dental surgery with an ice skate.

I fully expect the spin to be that Biden and the Libs stole the jobs like they stole everybody's tax dollars, and DOGE got here just in time to prevent another Great Depression.  We'll all take a 25% hit to our 401k's, but it would've been 40% if we hadn't had such a brilliant businessman in office.  Those of us fortunate enough to keep our jobs can just work 60 hours a week to keep the GDP up.  It'll be our patriotic honor.

I mean, they think Trump did a good job with Covid.  There's nothing they won't fall for.

It’s even simpler. CARES and ARPA acts are to blame. Because reasons. Not shut up so I can pass another tax break for those making $300,000+.

With the cut of around 10% of NSF employees and the overall funding freeze for certain agencies, higher ed is going to be going through some things if the $$ stay on hold. The way I understand it is that the larger schools (say like UT and A&M) will be okay until the beginning of summer, but things may get uncomfortable after that. If that happens, campus cuts (especially in GOP dominated states) will likely follow ideologically directed guidelines in order to keep certain funding streams open. That's speculation, but not too hard to imagine. Other countries can certainly make some offers and likely find some willing interviewees. In addition, local economies of smaller university towns would take a hit as sometimes the school is the largest employer. Even if the skeptics say, 'well, just teach then" (i.e. no research), the infrastructure of the Tier I schools is enormous. Going to just let it all decay? Wait, don't answer that....
