Whoever wrote this headline clearly a huge Fortnite fan
Like I swear they actually did talk about Obama wearing a tan suit or having some kind of fucking mustard on a hot dog, it was that stupid.
I feel like there’s going to be, probably already is, this huge disconnect between people who remember pre-Trump politics and people who don’t.

going into the woods, taking off my mask, sunglasses and getting my phone out of the faraday bag to reply to this post
Just to be clear I prefer this type of potato salad. It’s important to me, as a fat guy, to make this clear
This post is like rage bait for online “opsec” experts who think they’re going to the black bagged for posting a pic at a legal march with thousands of attendees.
Take a picture of yourself at the No Kings rally.

Print it.

Put it in a frame.

Your grandchildren will speak about you for generations to come. You took a stand against fascism. You stood up for democracy. 
My sort of joke theory is that people are revolted by the prospect of MAGA getting control of entertainment and having nothing to enjoy anymore.
The shortcut to social revolution is actually giving MAGA full control of Hollywood. After a couple episodes of Late Night with Rob Schneider feat, the Ted Nugent Big Band there would be a general strike
The disadvantage the Right has in the entertainment industry is that anything in 2025 that is made for conservatives is (with extremely rare exceptions) unwatchable/listenable/readable garbage
thinking of this again as we approach another No Kings
The threat assessments of many random Bluesky posters seem to be higher than people actively involved in leading organized protests in places like Hungary, Turkey and Hong Kong.
LOL at "talking shop (discipleship)"

This is what most “anti-corruption” campaigns are in authoritarian states
Such a scenario would be common under competitive authoritarian regimes. Sometimes charges against opponents are just totally bogus, like the Comey case, but sometimes they're merely selective. The latter is still illegitimate, the whole system is tainted, but the target isn't necessarily innocent.
Too many conversations that go like "You moron, that won't work at all! We need to do (thing that also won't work)"
too many people on the Left are honestly waaayyyy too confident about their own political analyses and strategies. If you had the easy answer you'd already be winning.
For I was hungry, and you did not download my free App
these metrics are not meaningfully connected to the claim

Obviously Zohran has good communication skills, but the fundamental message is what has really made him successful
it’s just hammering one thing over and over. Republicans do it and that’s how they get really dumb narratives to stick, for the most part
This is just really good, focused messaging. “The people against me are corrupt and bad, I’m going to win and lower the cost of living.” That’s it.
🔥 ZOHRAN ON FOX: "I want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Adams who will call you to stay out of jail… a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election… I’ll be a mayor ready to speak at any time to lower the cost of living.“
Trump: “I should get the Nobel Peace Prize! Also I’m going to murder a bunch of people and invade Venezuela for no reason”

back then the idea that someone would use the vernacular of a community they often had absolutely zero connection to was seen as a strange thing to do.
i didn't have enough characters to finish: "with white people contributing nothing" lol
