how can we not talk about family
when family's all that we got?

I think Biden leading "lock him up chants" gives Trump more cover to pardon himself and all his friends and family. He's still going to go crazy with the pardon pen, but not knowing what to expect on January 21st might force a mistake where his pardons are too broad and maybe contestable in court.

We've seen how good his lawyers are. There's a non-zero chance a mistake is made.

he won’t need to pardon anyone cause Dems won’t do anything

His core won't. I'm counting on the people who blindly vote Republican whether it's the Zodiac killer or something worse like Trump. There's no reaching 20% of America. They're too far gone.

But it's like if he gets de-platformed. Most Fox viewers aren't going to try and figure out Roku channels to get OAN or Newsmax when their favorite grandson Fucker Carlson is still on Fox. Some will follow him, most won't.

Trouble is the number is far higher than 20%

im in a pretty lefty part of Canada so my roommate is probably chud lite compared to what you guys get. but the other day he just brought up how few people own everything now. not to make some other point.

im not pretentious enough to think i can change huge amounts of minds, but reality gets really pushy if you ignore what it is saying

Look up Canadian household debt and just watch the Liberal party funnel billions to the hands of the poor mega corps as covid "aid". That's beside what the dumb gently caress provincial governments are doing, especially in Alberta, Manitoba, and Ontario. Unfortunately, the purported left party seems to be more interested in leaning towards the centre than actually addressing these problems.

Your roommate may be an rear end in a top hat but they've got a point and it won't be addressed by any politician anywhere near any reigns of power.

Plus, ya know, like a third of the country is chuddy as all hell. I'm sure pm Dougie will fix it all in 8-10 years when he's handed a majority mandate.

It's pretty well accepted that presidential pardons can't be "too broad".

zegermans posted:

why does it follow that pattern so cleanly, I've always wondered. Weekend reporting lapses?

Yep, that's why I always look at the "smoothed out" rolling averages line for a more accurate idea of the reported numbers.

Of course states like Florida have been loving with their reports since the start so the graph was never going to be anywhere close to reality to start with, you really need to look at the excess deaths numbers to get a better picture of what's really going on and those reports usually have a lag of a month or more.

Also keep in mind that the daily infections graph always has a huge amount of lag built into it as well because there's a pre-symptomatic period after exposure, then it often takes a few days for people to get around to taking a test, then there's a delay of between a day to several weeks before they get their results. There's always going to be a large percentage of cases which never get tested as well, so those reports only ever represent a portion of the infections that happened a week or more ago. Most US states report cases on the day they're confirmed but some of them sneakily backdated them to the supposed date of infection which meant that the current day's report always looked way rosier than it should, and you'd have to go and look at the adjusted numbers for previous weeks to catch the 'new' cases.

he's actually pretty low key when it comes to being an rear end in a top hat, he's just fed into the right-wing narrative even though it contradicts most of his actual conduct and experiences. but yeah, basically the problems are bad enough that even people tapped into that can't help but reach the same conclusion as the left because there's not really much hope to cling to even if you're willing to sell out

qanon cultists think that one deep state is at war with another deep state and the good deep state (their deep state) has a magical pan to own the libs forever by making tromp president for life

so, obviously, losing the election must be a step in said plan

(note, they don't think of THEIR deep state as deep state, but deep state is what it obviously would be, if it was real)

It kind of seems like an open dismissal of the idea that they serve the rule of law or are supposed to be anything other than a petty group of warlords controlling their turf in whatever way they want, like an extension of the open contempt and implied threat of violence the elected governments of cities receive whenever they talk about reducing police violence or holding murderer cops accountable.
