Person who hates Democrats and is ambivalent to positive about Republicans while loudly proclaiming themselves to be the biggest trans ally and therefore most progressive.

Many such cases.

Mr. "I want Kamala Harris to promise not to send young men to die in another pointless fucking war in the Middle East" is in favor of drafting young men?

Increasingly convinced that one of the main reasons the "Trump is going to cancel the midterms" meme won't die is because a lot of posting addicts don't want to accept that electoralism is still a necessary condition for beating Trump. It's a perverse sort of wishcasting.
i don't even know why i'm raising this here because i know i'm going to get a hundred replies of "Trump has god powers that will let him do whatever he wants and thus we have no choice but to bend to his will," but for those of you capable of complex thought, these are questions to ask yourself.

the media and most of the public utterly refused no matter what to accept the things Trump said out loud in public as being really real and the media acted like disappointed parents with a lying toddler when Biden or Harris or any Democrat accurately talked about what Trump would do

fever dream
It's wild to watch people like Joe Rogan come to grips that voting for the "mass deportations now" candidate meant voter for a literal war against your non-White neighbors. The entire discussion around the 2024 campaign was so fundamentally unserious it might as well have happened in a fever dream.
This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.

A citizen.

Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.

"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.

Agents took and sold his phone

And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

Man I am getting a completely different takeaway from this chart than everyone else. This is a sign that electoral politics isn’t really about policy or messaging, it’s about large groups of people reacting to events. People don’t hear arguments, they see things happening and change their stances.

this is one of my opinions that was unpopular for the longest time, but is finally coming into vogue - jon stewart is a Type One reactionary centrist

you know the civility columnists, or dems who insist on calling republicans their friends?

jon *is that* just with a different presentation
Fucking Jon Stewart thinks the media “cried wolf.” I wonder if he thought so when he was chumming it up with Bill O’Reilly and Mike Huckabee on his show.
the road to this was paved with columnists scoffing at us

It is very funny seeing the people who screamed bloody murder about Ken Martin becoming DNC Chair because they couldn't immediately identify him as one of the six or seven celebrity politicians they formed a parasocial relationship with now kicking and screaming that the party isn't as brave as him.

Dave Weigel is both a disingenuous shit stirrer and someone who generally wants to see Democrats fail bc he associates them with ppl he finds annoying online. This describes way more of political news media reporters, pundits, & commentators than is remotely healthy for an political info environment

Hot take but if someone I typically respect is willingly engaging in misinformation because their priors may be challenged then I end up respecting them less
I'm going to get people- including people I like and respect- angrily and variously arguing at me that:

1) no this is good actually because it spurs action
2) no these are good because the thing it made them believe that isn't true, is true
3) no these are good because it doesn't technically lie

Once you realize that a significant amount of our various media/discourse spaces are actually built primarily around hostility to the Democratic Party (bc reasons) first and foremost rather than for any actual principles or, at a minimum, against Republicans, its hard not to see it everywhere
That a number of them criticized Biden for withdrawal from Afghanistan was something of a tell

Have you considered that when Kamala Harris was asked whether American military should exist in some form she answered “yes I think so”? Dems own this just as much as Mr Trump.
Amazing how even when Trump acts as unilaterally as it is possible to be, some big brains on here immediately blame the Democrats. You guys have a disease, you’re broken

Congress is controlled by the president’s party, which supports what he’s doing. This is, IMO, not the same thing as saying Congress doesn’t exist.

its easier to do dem backstab narratives than accept that voters rejected these platforms twice
Hillary 2016 & Kamala 2024 were the most progressive platforms most voters had seen in their lifetimes. That voters rejected them does not frustrate me half as much as how few of them realized what they were rejecting, & still don't. Even educated, well-read people with zero excuse.
Here is the thing! This is what Harris promised in 2024! That was her campaign message. Everyone has completely memory-holed the 2024 campaign. www.cnn.com/2024/09/18/p...

This is also very obviously the immediate consequence to shutting off stuff like rainbow capitalism.
I don't think most people is sufficiently appreciated that the consensus "racism is bad" took an extraordinary effort not only to kick off but to maintain. And we should all be extremely scared of this now, because if it happens this fast to any group, it could happen that fast to your group.
Here is the editor of Tablet agreeably reposting someone calling nonwhite NYC immigrants "worthless biotrash." It's astonishing how quickly this stuff has escaped containment
