I hadn't even considered that. I mostly saw it as a way to prevent DeSantis from retreating into the tried and true refuge of racists: being offended that you dare call them racists.

If you're white and haven't called out racism at least to the point where you've been called a race traitor, you gotta up your game.

DeSantis literally called him a Monkey and palled around with white nationalists. The guy is clearly racist to say "I'm not saying he is racist.." is to protect any votes he'd lose to fragility from actually calling his opponent out. It's weaselly, but in a beneficiary way.

This is all definitely true, I just figured it was some linguistic jui-jitsu so that DeSantis couldn't trot out the "I'm not a racist, how dare you!" speech that he no doubt practiced in the mirror the previous night.

Only on twitter. I laid into some local Atlanta talk radio host for signal-boosting some "NBPP supports Abrams" propaganda the weekend before the election.

He blocked me so I never go to see if he said it to me, but I am confident. Last thing he said to me before I got blocked was in response to me saying "well, I'm a white guy so..." was "No you're not!"

“Trumpy Bear” sounds like a Goofus-and-Gallant knockoff of a Teddy Bear.

Trumpy bear is a real product that is really sold but seems so very clearly an absurd thing invented to go viral and appeal to both crazy trump people and people wanting to buy it ironically. The ad seems 100% market tested to be all things someone would take straight that could also be taken as parody. Like you can also get a trumpy bear golf cover where you put the golf club in it's anus.

Currently the GOP is at +2, if you assume (as you should) that they are a virtual lock for the Mississippi special election and you factor in that they are probably more likely than not to win Florida. If they lose Florida, they're at R+1; if they lose Florida and somehow blow the Mississippi special election (which nobody at all considers likely) then we're at no net change.

I hate the idea of doxxing kids but that picture is like a “who’s who” list of up-and-coming right-wing terrorists and abusers of women. Everyone that associates with them should know that, lest they end up on the other side of one of these dweebs’ legally-purchased machine guns.

It is and it isn't. It's a real product but it's clearly aware it's making an absurd thing, if you watch all the ads a bunch of them have absurd elements that clearly are meant to push the tim and eric element while not alienating unironic buyers.

It's a viral video from a viral video company that sells a product out of both sides of it's mouth.
