ya but I swear to god after like a few years everyone did this thing that hipsters do like when they decide to incorporate a new identity to stand out from the new consensus. so they start arguing that the prequels are actually really good and Lucas is a secret genius.

no of course it wasn't due to the fact that his kids needed college tuition money

One of the games got modded and you could have a lightshield which owned. It was just a little square block made of light that deflected lasers and you pushed through people.

Louise Mensch is insane, but it's also true that Russia "invented" whataboutism by deflecting criticism of their regime by pointing out the the US lynches (present tense) African-Americans

And that's on top of African diplomats making their way to the UN from the airport being unable to eat at roadside diners nor stop at nearby hotels because they weren't allowed to per Jim Crow

i'm gonna repeat myself

again

the second trump is ousted, hashtag the resistance considers their mission over because their mission is 1000% about trump being in office. it's not about republicans or republican policy. it's strictly about trump. the best plan is to just let trump stay in office and continue to be loving terrible (despite the ever persistent threat to ending humanity in nuclear hellfire) so he pisses off most of the country but also keeps hashtag the resistance people mad as gently caress so they actually give a poo poo and turn out to vote because you can't totally rely on everyone else and if 2016 taught us anything you really want every vote you can get

if they stop giving a gently caress if he's ousted they don't turn out and you get a republican in office again in 2020, be it a pence on a second term or whatever

There's something in common here with the Republican strategy re: abortion, just can't place it.
