I sometimes think the Democrats want to be destroyed too badly for it to actually happen but they sure are right on track.

the only thing that makes me think the party wont be utterly destroyed into a rump party is the evidence of nothing significantly changing the united states other than for the worse. the liberal political party collapsing would be historic in a way we dont get in a nation of unending suffering and grinding tragedy. everything is gradualist. whens the last time something happened? thats right, 9/11

I mean, just because a lovely political party collapses does not mean it'll be replaced by something better. No reason it couldn't result in the creation of a True Republican Party, arrayed against a "rump" original Republican party that's basically just more honest democrats.

This might only last them til the end of June, since a recession is technically two quarters in a row of negative GDP growth, Q1 already was negative, and its a definite possibility Q2 will be, so it could blow up in their face right near the election anyway. Even their dumb "technically I'm right" arguments are just setting them up to get destroyed later

basically this

They are creating a recession on purpose to try to reduce inflation and "discipline" the working class. But why would they claim there's no recession while working to create one? Doesn't make any sense.

The capitol riot was a bunch of idiots milling around who were let into the building by the cops. If the rioters were in any way a coup force they could have very easily murdered a significant chunk of Congress with no resistance. It has always been a total non issue outside of illustrating the right wing leanings of the capitol cops. The democrats might have used it to highlight the need for police reform and contrasted the permissiveness of the capitol cops with the brutality of the Floyd protests, except the democrats were 100% on board with brutalizing largely minority protesters and they ended up giving loving medals to the capital cops.

any kind of government intervention into the market has been made effectively or literally illegal over the last 40 years to make stock prices go up and here's why that's actually a good thing as the market requires ever greater infusions of human blood to keep running

it was mostly infuriating for people who had been paying attention to BLM protests and seeing them getting gassed and beaten for standing in the wrong place vs the capitol pigs just letting the trump people go on a self guided tour of what was meant to be an actual center of power

like fully in your face these people can just go in and take whatever they want and nobody will stop them

I DON'T GIVE A CRAP WHAT SHE BELIEVES THE HARRY POTTER BOOKS CHANGED MY LIFE #HUFFLEPUFF
Candidate helps voters, Dems cry foul.

quote:

A gas-money giveaway in support of Herschel Walker, the Republican candidate for Senate in Georgia, drew the ire of Democrats and voting rights groups in the state, who said the move was both hypocritical and possibly illegal.

The event, organized by the pro-Walker PAC 34N22, aimed to highlight rising gas prices and tie the issue to Sen. Raphael Warnock, a Democrat who will run for reelection against Walker in November. The group handed out $25 fuel vouchers and Walker campaign flyers to motorists in line at a gas station in downtown Atlanta on Saturday as volunteers held signs saying, “Warnock isn’t working.”

Besides the chuds falling off of the capitol walls they were trying to scale instead of just taking the stairs, the funniest part of Jan 6 is 18 months of democrats harping on it like it was the worst attack on America since Fort Sumter while steadfastly refusing to hold anyone in power accountable for it because :decorum:

Even if you care about 1/6 what does bringing it up over and over do except remind you that Democrats won't do jack poo poo about it because they don't want to lose their invites to the ringleaders' congressional yacht parties

drat are you telling me that political capital is something you have to make for yourself by actually doing politics and not something that gradually builds up like super meter in a fighting game??? that can't be right, playing the game means doing nothing for as long as possible so that you can pass 1% debt relief for ivy league graduates who operate successful businesses for 20 years
