There is a bunch of news today that seems like it could either help or hurt either candidate based on how it's presented. The most popular part of the Colin Powell email leak seems to be him talking about Bill Clinton "dicking bimbos." He has some unflattering things to say about Trump too. There's the black pastor in Flint interrupting Trump when he starts talking about Clinton. How's that going over? Finally, Ivanka cutting off the interview when pressed about her dad's misogyny could either make him look bad or make her look sympathetic. So how's this going to pan out?

"Turd Sandwich vs Giant Douche" again when even in your own show the choice is between a politician personified as lame and unlikable, and a guy saying he will kill millions of people. Uhhh.

Like with the original Douche vs Turd you could maybe make the claim that the Democrats and Republicans both sucked because the last Republican was boring Bush Sr and Clinton was kind of sketchy on a personal level. However after eight years of Bush and then Trump's nightmare campaign of blatant incompetence mixed with hate vs Hillary being as worst a standard politician with some mild scandals I have no idea how you make that equivalence and don't shrink up your own rear end in a top hat. Also specifically calling the female candidate "Turd Sandwich" when no other politician gets that done is kinda ehhhh... Eggplant Squire fucked around with this message at 12:45 on Sep 15, 2016 |

Yeah. And the thing is, I've seen that joke circulate in a somewhat more carefully worded version. Something like "A guy comes out of one and then spends the rest of his life trying to get back into one." Even that's just a little bit too close to creepy for my taste because it seems to be very obviously trying to avoid that very implication and therefore calling it to mind. But at least it makes the reader/listener work a little bit to make it mean "wants to gently caress his mom" instead of saying it outright. So there's a better version out there, and there was really no excuse for him to gently caress it up that way.

The title "When Reality Turned Inside Out" is completely appropriate for this post but not in the way Adams thinks it is.Drilbur posted:Do you remember way—-way—-way—back in July, when the public thought Trump was the candidate they couldn’t trust with the nuclear arsenal? That was before we realized he could moderate his personality on command, as he is doing now. We’re about to enter our fifth consecutive week of Trump doing more outreach than outrage. Whole lot to go through here.

Thinking back on South Park, I really wonder how I didn't become a massive libertarian poo poo heel. One that just now sticks out to me is the episode where a music festival comes to South Park. Everyone attending the concert are college kids who smoke pot and talk about how much capitalism sucks and how they are gonna change the world. And depicts this as a bad thing because they are just being lazy. It basically demonizes an entire stage of maturity college kids go through. Plus the show calls them all hippies yet their image of hippies is still the 1960s tye dye and VW buses in mid 2000s. It comes off as a Kelly cartoon, shaking their fists at not only kids these days but kids when they were kids. Edit: "It's lazy and selfish to spend a week enjoying yourself and wonder how to make the world better" is my take away.

For anyone who still doubts how pervasive and influential RWM has become, and how it's permeated generationally, all you have to do is look at how close this election has become to confirm it. They've got mainstream media actually tilting their coverage for fear of being accused of bias. Whenever one of their own is called out, all they have to do is play the "liberal media - 'gotcha question'" card and, sadly, it works more than it should. These folks are absolute experts at framing the narrative and keeping the opposition on defense. For example, take the war in Iraq. Prior to the invasion, it was all "USA, USA!" and if you voiced opposition, your patriotism was called into question. Once it became a quagmire and went to poo poo, for a time it was "Saddam DID have WMD's" and "he hid them in Syria". Smears against John Kerry's service from the "support our troops" party and the outing of a CIA agent whose husband exposed the lies ensued. As the tide continued to turn, Obama, acting on Bush's timeline for withdrawal, became the reason the region was lost and now they're blaming him for the rise of ISIS, the destabilization of the region, Benghazi, etc. This election season, we've actually come full circle, with the GOP nominee being LAUDED for his (false) opposition to the Iraq War the entire time and Hillary Clinton actually being put on the defensive for voting for it. The Republican nominee is actually getting points from the RW pundits for opposing a war that these idiots not too long ago used as a measuring stick for gauging one's patriotism and ruthlessly drummed up support for. Somehow, over time and without anyone even noticing, they've wound up championing Trump's lie (that he opposed the invasion), deducting points from Hillary for "voting for it", blaming Obama for losing it and seem to express themselves with the generally accepted fact that, of course, that the war was bullshit and shame on the Democrats for loving it up. It's an astonishing 180 when you view it entirely in context and watch it evolve (devolve?) over a decade or so. How do they do that? Do they think no one records or even listens to the poo poo they say? That we have no memory at all? How do they pull it off? Jon Stewart could really do a great segment on this. This election should be a loving landslide but somehow they've managed to convince the American public of their BS to the point where it's uncomfortably close. I'm not even sure Hillary is going to win at this point.

One of the worst examples of that was after Obama was elected and some memos came out that said that "Yeah the CIA really was torturing people during the Bush years," the RWM's focus shifted from trying to defend the torture of human beings, and claiming that waterboarding wasn't torture etc etc. To attacking Nancy Pelosi as knowing about it as if that made her 100% responsible.

Twelve by Pies posted:He also attacked Hillary as an "elitist" and was like "Do you think she's ever worked a regular job before? She's never washed dishes or waited tables or bartended. She doesn't know what it's like." And the very first thing I thought was "And you think Trump has done those things you goddamn idiot?" Hillary and Bill were both middle class kids on merit scholarships. They held normal kid jobs. Hillary volunteered at a free daycare for migrant farm workers as a teen and worked briefly at a factory gutting fish in Alaska in the summer between college and grad school. She was unable to keep up with the production line ( gutting fish at speed is skilled labor ) and let go from that job so she found an office job instead. She worked every summer in college and part time during some school years. I wonder how many presidents have changed a diaper for one of their own children - never mind the children of others.

After years of taste-testing the "YOU ARE UNDER ATTACK! YOU HAVE BEEN WRONGED!" I've seen well adjusted people with good lives descend into bitter rage-monsters who ignore how good their lives are. My father was one. More recently, I've seen a good friend FDR dem go from Bernie bro to avid Breitbart reader. The power of masterful propaganda is terrifying.

I've noticed that a lot of Trump supporters are fully aware of how much he blatantly lies about just about anything, and actually celebrate him for it. They think it's funny. Like in a "haha Trump totally trolled the hell out of those reporters" kind of way. "Trolling" is probably the most important word to describe this election IMO. The Pepe meme with the smug face like  and a Trump hat that I see everywhere is an example of it. They think it's hilarious how all the lies and bullshit pisses off liberals, and they love every minute of it. They vote based entirely on white identity politics and don't give the slightest poo poo what Trump's or the GOP's policies actually are. Do they care or are even aware of what the GOP tax plan happens to be? gently caress no. Do they care that Trump lied about support for the Iraq war? Nope.
