Don't forget that a bunch of wrestlers thought libertarian CHUD Kane/Glenn Jacobs was smart just because he read a book backstage. IIRC, it was Atlas Shrugged or something.

You should know from freaking out irrationally

Polls are loose indicators at this point and there’s been some good ones for Biden lately too

Also most of the characters were just not-Marvel versions of established and popular Marvel characters.

I don't know and I don't care if actually in the comics those characters existed before the Marvel ones or whatever, they made a superhero movie where the notable superheroes were basically the same as Ant-Man, Falcon and Dr. Strange combined with Iron Man when the MCU exists and is the biggest movie franchise to date. They should've gone with more unique/unknown superheroes and powers to keep things fresh. If they had done that I think the public would've minded the bad pacing and poo poo a lot less, because it did have its moments.

Those characters were linked in a couple JSA story arcs. Black Adam's origin was retconned to link to Hawkman, who is somewhat linked to Dr Fate (or very linked, did not see the movie, so I don't know which Fate they used). Cyclone and Atom Smasher only appeared in JSA and are not major characters.

I guess anything sucks if you don't know a drat thing about it and only look at it in comparison to something else you apparently wish it was.

It's kind of silly to call characters established in 1940 versions of characters established in the 60s.

Who exactly in his milieu could have instilled Barron with decent human values? Certainly nobody in his family, certainly nobody at the low class bordello that is Mar-A-Lago, and certainly no family acquaintances.

His one living maternal grandparent.

An immigrant who raised a daughter who, through only the use of her natural "charms" managed to become both rich and famous and never has to work again in her life, nor her son's lifetime.

It's a stretch, surely. And many holes can be poked in it. But given that young Barron spent more time with his grandparents than with his dad, (He picked up their Slavic accent), one can hope.

If it's due to systematic errors when the population who answers these surveys doesn't accurately represent the population who votes? Pretty high chance.

Some of the previous polls had crazy results, like 30-40 point swings among Black, Hispanic, and young voters since 2020. Maybe that's true, but it's so unprecedented that I have trouble believing it isn't just errors.

quote:


“If Trumpism is a cult, it’s the worst cult in history. Because people come and go as they please. Everything is wholly transparent, there’s – nothing is secretive about it, and people seem to be having a good time. They don’t seem terrified of reprisals.

“If this is a cult, then so is Oktoberfest. I mean, Trump, I think what you can say about Trump-ism, if it’s an ‘ism,’ it’s more like your favorite team, where you root for your guy, and you root against the other guy, but you still can hang out with the other guy’s fans. It’s not a big deal.

“But they can’t, but the other team can’t do it. Trump, people who are pro-Trump have no problems pulling over and help you change a tire. They don’t care if you got a Biden bumper sticker on your car. They’ll do it. It’s not a two-way street.” –

What is a cult?

Absolute authoritarianism without accountability
Zero tolerance for criticism or questions
Lack of meaningful financial disclosure regarding budget
Unreasonable fears about the outside world that often involve evil conspiracies and persecutions
A belief that former followers are always wrong for leaving and there is never a legitimate reason for anyone else to leave
Abuse of members
Records, books, articles, or programs documenting the abuses of the leader or group
Followers feeling they are never able to be “good enough”
A belief that the leader is right at all times
A belief that the leader is the exclusive means of knowing “truth” or giving validation

Yup Trumpism is not a cult

Also lol that final point being Trump created Truth
