nachos posted:Triggered yet, libs? I think it is closer to 30-35% of people with that attitude, but in general, yes. One thing I've thought about a lot without getting an answer is how parasitic "Conservative" culture has become. Much of their identity, the red-meat-and-guns-and-pick-up-truck schtick, seems to be formed not because those things mean anything to them, but because they are somehow opposite to their image of "liberalism".

The other 10-15% of his hard support all know deep in their soul that he's a vile man, but cognitive dissonance compels them to actively avoid reading or hearing about the details of the latest Trump story. Any time they get a whiff of bad news about Trump, they change the channel or click out of the story and go "No, I don't want to know, Trump is a good man, MAGA"

I wish the left had a designated, elected poo poo talker that they could send on morning shows to bait Trump into always operating at top-tier Trump. Like someone who was not a comedian or hired talking head, but an elected official that could go on television and be like, "dude sucks at his job. He's a businessman who is out of his depth. The right wing needs a leader, and Trump is content to sit back and let the pentagon run the wars and the senate run domestic policy. I don't know if he'll be remembered as being the worst president, but he's certainly on track for being the laziest." Trump's a narcissist, and he's his own worst enemy. On paper it seems like it should be so easy to trigger him into bounding into McConnell's office and declaring that he was now in charge of healthcare reform. The best place for Trump to be right now is smack dab in the middle of GOP bearuocracy, impeding progress through his natural selfishness and lack of patience.

The AUMF repeal would be good, but it almost certianly won't happen. Respect to Barbara Lee for being on the right side of history even in those fraught post-9/11 days, and sticking with it ever since

It really shows how unreasonable and unhinged he is.

And you better loving believe he's taking these "hey Donald maybe relax a bit" tweets from GOP senators as a personal attack and he will absolutely act like a loving child about it when he should be convincing them to vote party line.

stillvisions posted:So the NRA saw the leaked facebook guidelines for moderation and built a video specifically designed to stop just short of it. Jesus Christ... Knowing the metric always changes behavior, this is really basic stuff - it's why the popular vote is utterly meaningless in an election determined by another measure and its really dumb when people bring it up.

eyebeem posted:Isn't their tune "we need guns to protect ourselves (from the blacks with guns)" already? From my experience when I was really into gun culture, the NRA is more about the nebulous, existential threat of a corrupt government oppressing the whites. Which is actually pretty funny, considering it's coming true, just for people of color. Not that there isn't also a thread of "protect yourself from the black hordes", there absolutely is, just look at any gun advocate's admiration for Korean shopkeepers in the LA riots. But I wouldn't say it's the "main" thing.

This is why "open carry advocates" (aka guys who bring their penis extensions to the mall) are such pricks. Look, you buy a grill and you have a lot of barbeques to justify it. You buy a belt fed light machine gun...

botany posted:Not sure where to ask this but I would appreciate some suggestions: I'm looking for more podcasts along the lines of Intercepted and Pod Save The World. Something serious and informative basically. I'll check out Chapo Trap House but from what I've read in D&D it probably won't be what I'm looking for. Any good ones that I'm missing? How is This American Life these days? The 538 podcast is good but its strength is obviously talking about elections. When they talk about Russia or anything like that it's not so good. But they're pretty apt at pointing out how things like the AHCA will impact elections in 2018.
