Except I'm in Arizona, we were given no time. Not the way to win an election.

I used to think that this was one of the only cool things about this hellhole of a state but it turns out to be somehow even worse.

in 6 months when my co-workers finally learn I’m mountain time then bam, I’m again pacific time instead and the cycle begins anew.

Question: If Glenn Beck popularized the idea of the "overton window" did somebody write anything on the topic that's not a throwaway?

republican primary voters will not tolerate meanness or bullying, and if donald j trump thinks he can insult his way to the nomination by denigrating the highly respected conservative governor of florida, well then he’s got another thing coming!

I am Liberal LOgicMan and I have analyzed this situation with my mighty powers! Donald Trump's followers will consider the logic of this situation and act very rationally.

You might forget about the Glenn Beck angle and just go straight to the source, although Joseph Overton was also a right wing crank so I'm not sure how useful it would be

the problem isn't that Trump is bullying DeSantis, it's that he's had two years to ruminate on the best way to undermine him in a single bestowed nickname and the best he could come up with is "DeSanctimonius". he's lost his touch. he's slipping

This nickname has seized the zeitgeist. It's all we're posting about. It's energized this thread like nothing else - pages and pages about trump finally after long last the drought is over. Classic trump thread lib response to doubt his powers and say this won't work he is operating on another level that you can't even imagine exists its like a work of art.

ty LOL I guess it might be traced back to the old Nazi propagandists too, I don't know.

I mean the basic gist is that you can, as many people are saying, just turn up the racism dial and keep watching the audience to see where the sweet spot is but not only that, that it applies to everything in politics as well as racism. It's a scientific approach to propaganda and mass psychology.

BTW I think that's why synths are the new medium. It's all about adjusting levels of poo poo, each level representing a part of a complex formula, in order to achieve a desired outcome and you turn one, it changes the entire outcome, so you turn it or another dial. Like the world of politics, there remains a whole old world of playing virtuosity that almost seems meaningless in the face that. A lot of people that excel with synths can't really play piano, they can however, like me, mash a few keys and turn on an arpeggiator and then start turning dials, maybe even looking back at the audience. And there still is a place for somebody who can actually play the keys, an actual pianist, but it's less and less the work of that individual and more the work of "engineers" and programmers. Starting to wander but I'm wondering if this analogy might have any value now.
