overwhelmingly, the thing that motivates a young person to become a movement conservative is racism, specifically anti black racism. the conservative movement does care about other things, but racial animus has been the primary motivating factor for entry into the movement for decades.

Certainly! That was my mistake. I didn't realize that the target I selected was an elementary school, not a self propelled artillery piece. The next missile target I select should be correct.

everyone needs to internalize that this is just how all republicans are and when nancy pelosi said "the country needs a strong republican party" she meant that more people like this should be powerful. they are all like this! they all think just like this and like trump and they love it and it's fun

I know the temptation is to just scroll past this with a “not surprised” reaction, but you should read this if you have the emotional bandwidth to encounter horrifying slurs and violent sentiments, because there’s an important takeaway: extremism is often performed to reinforce an in-group’s bond.

I remember once seeing a well functioning government discussed in a very mechanistic way as a machine that should behave in a predictable way given some input circumstance and who the hell knows what the output for any input is here right now

the funny part about trump's demand for complete and utter obeisance from everyone is that he's really bad at accepting it. the time cover was absurdly fawning and it's still not enough because the photo (from a low, adoring angle) didn't hide his combover enough

Josh Marshall @joshtpm.bsky.social · 1d

Time owner Marc Benioff (and Salesforce CEO) just announced a few days ago that he's eager to start sucking Trump's dick full time. He even wants troops deployed to San Francisco. But as we see here, it's never enough. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

sure the Spanish government circa 1500 thought Columbus was a monstrous shithead but the Spanish government circa 1500 was notoriously woke
