sexpig by night posted:yea 'worst' case for the republicans this causes a split between the Mitt Romney 'perhaps we should give tax incentives to businesses who pay under minimum wage, for the market...' losers and the blood and soil jesus freaks, and spoiler alert the current crop of republicans will happily side with the latte and those guys will wallow in Trump's filth like the pigs they are. yeah. but i think the latter won't help them win, they have a better shot going with the romney types because than they can just pretend to be vaguely socially progressive like every giant corporations. outside parts of the south and midwest, no one wants a weird theorcractic white flight state.

George Bush left office with one of the lowest approval ratings in a century, a quagmire in Iraq, a great recession, etc etc and even crazier conservatives emerged from the corpse of his admin and won landslide victories only 2 years later.

Judge Orders Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Explain Twitter to Him in Court jezebel.com/Yesterday 9:00pm "The testimony is part of an ongoing lawsuit brought by ex-Brooklyn Assemblyman Dov Hikind, who says Ocasio-Cortez violated his First Amendment rights when she blocked him. Hikind claims he was blocked after criticizing Ocasio-Cortez for comparing migrant detention centers to WWII concentration camps." ... 'At an August town hall, Ocasio-Cortez countered that she’s blocked fewer than 20 people for harassing her, not for any particular political stance. She also pointed out that no one has a constitutional right to be heard: “While people have a right to say whatever they want, they do not have a right to force me to hear it,” she said. “Free speech isn’t an entitlement to force someone to endure your harassment.”'

Until, ya know, we get a storming the senate moment when the fascists just openly admit they view democracy as liberal indulgence and drag us into balkanization and horrific civil war. Or climate change kills us first, 3:1 odds I'd call it.

They're basically arguing that public officials are not personally allowed to deal with harassment on the platform, they have to wait for the private entity to do so on their behalf, based on ambiguous and poorly enforced criteria.

I genuinely don't believe America can last as a thing, I think we're literally too big and the oppression of capitalism has done so much damage that some form of balkanization is inevitable, both sides seem to agree too considering how they talk about each other, it's really only a matter of 'when' the violent fascists we've been emboldening decide to call the technocratic class' bluff and realize they could clean up as some kind of feudal lord.

Honestly? By prying religion out of the hands out the white supremacists. They have an extremely hard time getting people to pull the lever for white supremacy when it's not Jesus flavored. Religious identification is currently collapsing because young people aren't adopting Christianity like they used to with few exceptions. People still will pull the lever for white supremacy, but the trappings of religion is the sugar coating that takes away the bitter taste. Without that, white supremacy can't remain nationally viable, especially as demographics continue to shift.

These loving freaks absolutely want to cut down the tall trees and purge their cities of the undesirables and with the blending of social far right movements with rampant militarization of near every part of our life woops they're getting the means to do that!

My worry is that they successfully separate themselves from the Nazis and merge with the right wing of the Democrat party after we get that left/liberal split that's been showing hints of bubbling. The absolutely adulatory worship that the Resistance shitheads show towards the NeverTrump crowd -- even as they retain every last bit of their fiscally conservative beliefs -- is a warning sign.

I guess Republicans are counting on slow news day at WAPO or NYT cos there is no reason to run with their narrative when reality gets worse for Trump's administration every day. As a result his rhetoric about the media will get worse because the coverage won't improve.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:I sometimes wonder if the 2010 Tea Party backlash would have been as extreme if it were Hillary in office. It's hard to say, because Hillary does illicit a special flavor of rabid hatred on the right. But say a hypothetical Kerry or something? I really don't think so. Because I don't think any one single "issue" on the right motivates their base enough to actually get off their asses and organize on that large of a scale unless it's tied together with racism. I've unfortunately known a lot of CHUDs in my lifetime, and "Liberal f*ggot John Kerry raising your taxes" gets them yelling at the TV and settling on screaming about LGBTQ rights and 'Christian values'. "A n*gger named Barack Hussein Obama telling me what to do and he's gonna take your guns away" gets you MASS, mobilized, organized tribalism on the right. They are loving garbage people.
