Why would Chinese Nationals come through the Mexico border instead of just arriving on the west coast? I mean I know Branco is just being his usual horribly racist rear end in a top hat self, but I can't for the life of me understand the thought process here. People from China arrive on the west coast all the time, and if they want to be here illegally, they'll just overstay their visa.

That doesn't fit with the image they want to project about dusky hordes swarming the border in a literal invasion.

This.
All non-white foreigners are scary and monstrous inhumans and they're all conspiring against us, which is why it's completely logical in Branco's mind to believe that the Chinese, the Mexicans and the Arabs would all invade from one spot.

If they just released another balloon every time it looked like our press or Congress was about to do actual reporting or governance, it would probably cripple us as a nation. Would probably result in furiously incoherent comics including gas stoves keeping a balloon aloft but it keeps bumping up against the debt ceiling tho.

What power specifically are politicians gaining from dealing with COVID that conservative politicians aren't gaining more of by opposing every mitigation effort?

It's just the power to... Suggest people wear a mask, but only if they want to. Goddamn that's scary stuff, rise of totalitarianism here.

Just ignoring COVID and doing nothing is exactly what the US government is doing now, I don't know how they could possibly ignore it harder.

Like, the anti-mask people won and exactly what they wanted to happen has happened but they're still complaining about it.

Isn't the bulk of California's electric problems the result of basically privatizing the utility? Funny how conservatives blame everything on "green policies" when it was the "free market" that hosed up by having the natural monopoly electric utility funnel all their cash into dividends for shareholders instead of building or maintaining the grid.

I believe California has a single power company as a monopoly running stuff, and that has gone so well that one of their court cases required them to take out a full page ad apologizing to the people for what they did.

I remember them insisting for months "This is the new normal! This will NEVER go away! Mark my words, lockdowns and masks and restrictions will only get worse forever - they're NEVER taking them back!" And then it went away and they didn't miss a step.

As opposed to other sources of energy which do not require you to pay bills.

It was training.
See, first they condition us to wear the masks, and that makes us docile and obedient and then we will obey any future commands since we've already been trained to do what we're told.

Depends on the level of crazy you're talking to. More mainstream right wingers will say that the Dems were just doing it to get off on seeing that they had power over people, just doing it because they could and they liked seeing people "enslaved." Some of them also believe that it was a trial balloon the Dems were using to see how much they could get away with, like if the people had stood up for their freedoms and said "No more masks!" the Dems would've gone "Whoa okay they aren't listening, guess we need to rethink this taking over America stuff." But since people went along with it the Dems are now going "Okay now let's take away even more rights and liberties since they're clearly fine with it!"

The real crazies like Ben Garrison think that wearing masks cuts off oxygen to your brain, killing brain cells and making people dumber and more susceptible to being controlled.

I love that specific brand of crazy because it presupposes that oxygen molecules are these big ol’ chonky things that would be just bouncing off the mask like ping pong balls.

You can also tell they haven’t thought this through if they have curtains.

There's more than one power company in the state (though usually there's only one in a given region) and some areas still have municipally-owned power plants but this is pretty much correct. PG&E sucks rear end and should be nationalized.

My 'favorite' crazies are the ones who told us that everyone who got vaccinated would be dead by the end of 2022 and, when people didn't die from the vaccine, they just acted like it was true anyway and didn't question it.

To be fair, that kind of is the point. They're not allowed to admit that there's any single thing good about abortions. The conservative playbook says they're all dangerous baby murder procedures that can and will also hurt the mother and are all more barbaric than dentistry.
