Wow, so Jacobin is just going straight-up horseshoe fascist now, eh?

Somewhat shocking, but not at all surprising from this bunch of scheming little turds.

Kill them until they're not alive anymore. Thanks for the tip, Sun-Tzu

What news headline are we reacting to?

If I can go on TV and smirkingly lie to millions of people who know I'm lying and can't do a thing about it, that's a major power flex. I think they're more motivated by the flex than the content of the lies.

Food banks are some of the most donation-efficient charities around!

What's he done now? Or is this just a general daily affirmation?

alarmist morisette @technicalsquirrel.bsky.social · 1d

Watch how they all flock like birds from "he would never do that, how dare you suggest otherwise" to "he's legally allowed to do that, how dare you suggest otherwise"

It seems like a lot of Dem types are capitulating to the idea that the brand needs to appeal to more meaty manly types.

I agree the Dems need to work on the longhouse problem, but disagree that tolerating "accidental" Nazi tattoos is the way to go about it.

Did Dinesh finally venture outside his basement and meet actual white people for the first time? Did he really think the right ever had any respect for any brown person that wasn't tied up in their utility as a token?

My best guess is that a lot of people weren't aware of the totenkopf as being an actual first-rank Nazi symbol and find it to be an understandable mistake. Rather than course-correct, they assume that most Americans share that ignorance, so it's more of a personal judgment.

Imagining: Going back to 2005 and telling myself that a Blackwater mercenary with a Nazi tattoo is running for Congress. As a Democrat. As the leftist. Oh and Donald Trump is president.

Yeah it's alarming that the Nazi tattoo thing is even considered debatable. How is everybody whiffing this softball?

They have been telling themselves for 40 years that the entire government needs to be burned to the waterline.

That they'd actually go as far as physically destroying the edifice is a thing I find quite shocking, but not entirely surprising.

Just absolutely lying down and wallowing in it.

What shouldn't be repeated is Trump being on the ballot instead of in jail. That's what should never happen again.

"leftists" are just red groypers on the other side of the horseshoe. They love fascists and help them whenever they get the chance.

Ranchers went all-in for Trump, who repaid their loyalty by saying "lmao go broke, idgaf."

When will people learn that Trump has no idea what he's doing and will backstab you the minute things go south?

So much energy around "if we held him accountable, we'd have to hold ourselves accountable, and then where would he be?"

I suspect that some Dems see who Trump is, but they also see what happened to Hillary (and others) who called it out. Call it "deplorable syndrome."

Many median voters have a bias toward normalcy, believing that nobody who's very popular can be very extreme. They will punish whoever challenges it.

Yes, I am the kind of person who believes that factual details exist and they matter. Ouch, you got me.

This is not the anti-datacenter wedge you were looking for. Totally unrelated, sounds kind of dumb.
