Fulchrum posted:That thing that I invented to justify my worldview was proven to be false. I have no clue what that could mean, it makes no sense! Republicans own the narrative that they are the all wise fatherly types, patiently attempting to politely yet firmly steer the wild and unruly children (Democrats) towards maturity and away from their own selfish entitlements (equal rights and providing social/medical benefits to all people)

I'm probably not the first person to say this, but, I'm going to wager that this is the theme for the duration of Trump's presidency. "Well, we can't defend his horrible poo poo, so we're going to try to draw false equivalence and keep up the narrative that both sides are equally as bad."

I think the deal with Stantis was... You know how you had  protest voters going for Jill Stein or writing in Bernie because they KNEW that the state was going to Hillary no matter what, so they could vote their conscience and rest easy knowing that it wouldn't cost Hillary the state? Stantis was that guy, but for Conservatives. He knew he could hitch his wagon to Gary Johnson, secure in the knowledge that Trump would never loving win, and then he could ride his conservatively moral high horse about town while complaining about how He wasn't expecting his team to actually win. Party loyalty prevents him from complaining too much about Trump, meanwhile, he clings to "No True Scotsman" to convince himself that he's still on the right side and Trump is still somehow the outlier. Edit: poo poo, new page.

Radish posted:Even if you are all aboard the gently caress you train and want people to die in order to save a few bucks I don't know how you look at the clusterfuck around the Republican's plan and think that those guys are looking like they are totally sober and in control. Because their ONLY qualifiers have been: gently caress Democrats, gently caress Obama. As long as those two items are checked off, it's a major success in their books regardless of reality.

MonsieurChoc posted:Actually, that's not true. He did everything for power. You get a bunch of Imperials saying he might have been trying to unify the Galaxy to fight the Invasion, but they're Imperials and even then his choice of "unity" was to give himself all the power without any planning for when he'd die. Oh, there was planning. Those plans are explained in one of the new novel trilogies that came out, the Aftermath series by Chuck Wendig. Literally, the plan is "An Empire that couldn't keep me alive doesn't deserve to exist.", and so it is revealed that he had put plans into motion that would be sure to finish off the rest of the Empire in case he ever died, with a select few chosen to be hiding outside of the galaxy to rebuild.

Silver2195 posted:Different continuity. He wasn't even called Sheev in Legends. He's Sheev in Aftermath. At least, that's what he tells the kid responsible for finishing off the Empire in the event of his demise. We also now have a genderfluid space pirate running a pirate town out of a stolen Star Destroyer, so that's fun. Either way, I would recommend the books if only for Sinjir Rath Velus, he is such a delightful bastard. And now I'm going to stop making GBS threads up the thread with Star Wars novels. Here, have a Rogers.

Twelve by Pies posted:Lester is fairly petty, true, remember when Lester drew Obama with a rainbow tie for years? But I'm not sure if I'd call Lester as malicious as Branco. Lester does seem able to restrain his hate a bit, or at least make his hate seem goofy at time, like the Chick-Fil-A comic with the gay chickens. It's a stupid and hateful opinion but it's presented in a silly way. Branco doesn't seem like he's capable of doing anything but drawing men with hairy legs in dresses. Lester's brand of pettiness is the kind that comes from not being punched in the face enough. Seriously, all of his "work" has a vibe of "Nya nya, I'm not touching you." of someone who goes through life knowing that technically no one can do anything about it. So basically, he's a lovely little internet troll. Not that this is anything new. For all of the talk he and his ilk put out about how "Snowflakes need to learn to toughen up and take their lumps like a real man", he would be one of the first ones to cry foul when someone applies it to him.

SomeMathGuy posted:Yes but Lester's just self-aware enough to know the real version is incapable of generating sympathy for his argument. The strawman version at least plays to his base. Plus, anyone dumb enough to agree with Lester is now going to "absolutely remember" hearing about/reading about the news article where Lester's version actually did happen. They obviously won't be able to find it, but they'll know they saw it somewhere.

So, following Tinsley's drunken train of thought, we've already covered "Why do I get in trouble when I belittle minorities, lgbtq, women and Islam?" So, how long until he rephrases it to "You can make any joke you want, but only if it's against white Christian males. How is that fair, straw-professor?" Edit:
