the cycle is larger because we’re reaching the end stage of capitalism in ‘72 it was still possible to put yourself thru college debt free, graduate, get a good job, buy a house, and support a stay at home housewife and 2 kids before you’re 40, so it was easier to hoodwink people into falling for the lie of the american dream. Nobody but boomers and the dumbest chuds still believe in that line of BS anymore, so the right has had to get more blatant with the racism to get those conservative white poors fired up and out to the polls.

Mr.Pibbleton posted:As someone who grew up in an isolated fishing community in Alaska, it was the most accurate depiction of our culture and lifestyle I have ever seen to this day. They still pay off healthcare provider tuition (how much depends on the job) on condition of working in Alaska for two years. I don't think a lot of people know about the VPSO program in Alaska, but imagine if you were like a sheriff and a firefighter and an EMT, but you have a coverage of hundreds of miles pretty much in all directions fighting a fire sounds like a huge disaster if you're living somewhere absolutely in the middle of nowhere

Eh, they'll happily adopt anything you decide to call them in the end but at least with forced birthers you get to describe their own beliefs as identical to those of slave rapists for identical reasons Anti choice is like, well of course they are they're theocratic reactionaries, their whole identity is wanting a strong white daddy to tell them what to do

For the first time in her life, she is scouting out a Democratic candidate to vote for. lmao not even mayor pete can win over disaffected republicans because theyre theocrats

He probably did himself a favor by not sticking around to see the god damned poo poo show we have now and I often wonder what he would have made of Obama. By all accounts he was an absolute mess near the end and the piper had called to get paid for years of drug and alcohol abuse but I miss his voice, his intelligence and his sense of humor. For someone as self destructive and as deep into addiction as he was, he was remarkably prescient and offered great reporting and insight into the roots of this madness as planted by Vietnam and Nixon, cultivated by Reagan and harvested by Bush after 9/11, He went off the rails with 9/11 trutherism though

Powered Descent posted:You knew he was a snake when you took him in. I feel like Trump’s frequent use of that story at rallies is one of the most ominous things about him, as he generally seems to lack both the self-awareness and ability to understand metaphor necessary to understand why he would want to include that story in his rallies. Like, it’s the villain taunting the world while getting away with his scheme, but the very qualities that make him villainous preclude the ability to be able to taunt the world in that way. It’s uncanny, I mean to say.

My wife and I like watching lovely TV, and there's a show on MTV called Ghosted - it's a reality show about tracking down people that have ghosted others. Anyways, the latest episode is about a girl looking for an old friend from college, who suddenly cut off all contact with her. Eventually they track the friend down, and surprise! The friend (a black woman) ghosted her (a white woman) because ol' whitey is a trump supporter. White girl defends herself with "well, my family owns a steel mill, I don't like trump but his policies would be good for them" to which the friend responds "and trump said horrible things about the country my family comes from. You say you don't like him, but did you vote for him?" and I think you all know what the answer was. Extra own was her crying because she didn't want to publicly admit she voted for trump lol. (yes I realize it's probably 100% scripted and not actual reality, but still)
