Rod Hoofhearted posted:In 2022, three U.S. House seats in Ohio that were on no one’s radar flipped to the Dems. Then, Ohio voters voted for abortion rights and legalized marijuana, which the GOP-dominated state government is resisting. Also, Obama won Ohio twice. As someone in the west coast, I’d loving love to kick off the drunken debauchery by 8 pm

Rod Hoofhearted posted:The biggest advantage Trump has is being a celebrity in the 80s. For some reason that poo poo is catnip to boomer brains. I would also throw in that Trump was a bit like Brexit. Lots of people just laughed that it would even happen so didn't take it seriously (vote).

It's so wild that Liz Cheney and Mitch McConnell are RINOs in today's republican party. Speaking of confusing things I saw a jeep with punisher stickers and a Biden Harris sticker this morning.

Hollismason posted:I mean all the Republicans retiring and leaving tells.me they're seeing internal polling and gtfo. The ones leaving know they're going to get primaried and probably lose to the MAGAots. There are some Retail Repubs grimly holding on to the bitter end but the party is going to be totally under Trump's control after either 2024 or 2026. McConnell is clearly to old and sick and probably has been for at least a year to really hold office if its true that he has been having fainting spells on top of his blanking mid speech like he has done a couple of times at least. If he had his way he'd go out like Thurmond. I wouldn't be shocked if dies inside a year after leaving office. PC LOAD LETTER fucked around with this message at 17:01 on Feb 29, 2024 |

I think a lot of people forget how actively toxic and dysfunctional the Hillary campaign in 2016 really was. she was a charisma black hole, of a type that trump was able to exploit with his insane bluster but now he’s old news, people know how he reacts in politics and the dems won’t be caught nearly as off-guard about it on a related note I was doing a crossword puzzle last night and realized I could not remember Hillary’s running mate for the loving life of me

I think Mitch gave up after the Israel/Ukraine/Border Security bill blew up. He can’t do anything with a caucus that’s unwilling to pass legislation that they themselves want.

PC LOAD LETTER posted:They have to get hurt directly by something the R's or Trump does AND can be clearly and unambiguously be linked back to them in a big clear cut manner for it to start to move the needle. What I still can't believe is that the United States didn't totter to its knees after like six months of TRUMP. No spectacular collapse of the house of cards, it just kept shambling along, maintaining the momentum it had from before, and everyone got to pretend he was doing a great job. It's not that I wanted to see a nuclear disaster or some huge diplomatic fuckup that led to World War T, but it seemed obvious and inevitable that it would happen. Even just some huge acceleration of the haves-and-have-nots divide well beyond what we did see in BLM was at the minimum of what I was confidently expecting. But it just didn't. The worst thing the average joe can lay at Trump's feet is Covid, and they can easily talk themselves around that reflecting poorly on him at all. It boggles my mind that it isn't self loving evident that Trump as president is the most diabolically awful thing you can consciously choose for yourself, just on the basis of facial day-to-day evidence. But here we are having the same old "inflation" "border" "taxes" bullshit debate arguments that we've had for decades, not arguing over whether a loving insurrection leader who stole a bathroom full of top secret documents is okay to have as President

Slave-owning states were really upset about this whole "no longer being allowed to own slaves" thing and the EC was a compromise to give them outsized power to let them influence the US with racist garbage and anti-human rights legislation. Look at Kentucky trying to pass SB 500 which is the most anti-worker, anti-human legislation we've seen in literal decades. Slave owners are still running this shithole.

People in this thread aren't afraid Trump can win in 2024. People are basically 'afraid' (maybe 'concerned' is a better word) that there is another possible death of a thousand cuts happening that eliminates a few votes here, a few votes there, and even if Biden gets 100 million votes overall to Trump's 30 million it doesn't matter because he didn't get 50,000 in the 'right place', and that we, by being in amongst the 'storm' as it happens, cannot see all the pieces that could make this happen (and hence what we could do to stop it) the way we can now see 2016, because when you're in the midst of events actually happening, you at best know 20 percent of the story, and that's a rare extreme. And perhaps more importantly, no one else can see the whole story either, and hence they see it as they want it. You go back to the start of 2016 and try and sound every alarm over the issues of Hillary's campaign, and no one is going to listen. The future is unknowable despite one's best efforts, at best we can guesstimate it like we do the weather, and the past is often incredibly frustrating and/or infuriating. It results in pain. We don't like pain, so we express our displeasure. And so on and so on. Also, I still think that 3/4 of the people who are 'bending the knee for Trump' are actually just kissing the ring while thinking "This will look REAL GOOD on my finger when I, a brilliant and deserving man (I would say person, but let's be honest it almost certainly is almost all males thinking this) take the legions of idiots from this loving tool.", lost in the same delusion Trump is in, just in a different shape and flavor of it.

Then if we have better work to offer, we'll attract 'better people'! It's seriously seen as just a 'need better jobs to attract better talent' thing with no other self-awareness why people would choose to flee

All the Trump trauma in this thread is because America is a dumb donkey country where Joe Biden can clearly win and then some dusty old rear end in a top hat is like, 'Mmm, actually, we forgot about the Johnson Amendment of 1872 that means that all votes are counted on opposite day so actually the cartoonishly lovely candidate wins,' and then instead of a bunch of reasonable adults being like, 'Yes we should work to make this system better,' a bunch of craven opportunists use it to make money or consolidate power at the expense of people who just want to buy a Wendy's burger without checking the price of Bitcoin or some dumb poo poo. e: And in case you're part of the globohomo conspiracy, here's the tag link: https://fi.somethingawful.com/safs/titles/a1/30/00126285.0009.gif

your mistake is ever thinking that any capitalist society is made up of reasonable adults instead of mostly opportunists this system literally awards being someone who only looks our for yourself, rather than being someone who works to compromise with others. so why WOULD people do the latter? out of the goodness of their own hearts?

For all their claims, they're still comfortable. Until they hit the 'nine meal limit', that's always going to dominate their thinking (Of course I think of that Star Wars Dark Side quote here, but it fits, drat it "Once you start down the path to the dark side, forever will it dominate your destiny"). That, or the even more impossible world where if you punch someone in the face, both your noses break. Otherwise, well...LOL Trump threads, tens of thousands of pages and no sign of stopping soon, later, or ever(?)
