The problem is Fox is actually refusing to cover Trump regardless of ratings, which means that their supposed/anticipated shift to the middle is not happening; the ideologues still have control.

Mister Adequate posted:Which is, of course, all why the only sane way to proceed is with a single-payer system. The contradictions inherent in a private healthcare system make it by definition unable to fulfill the functions of healthcare. At least with all the back and forth going on, "Just move to single payer" has moved from "  " to at minimum "Anything's better than someone trying a new tack at threatening my health care every three months."

Deadulus posted:This is weird as poo poo. Most of them are probably on CNN and MSNBC. Right wing media is now the journalistic equivalent of Hitler's bunker. Everyone knows the alphabet agencies have something big on the Trump administration, they just can't say/don't know exactly what it is. Brennan basically confirmed it so many words. Beyond that the realization has crept in to even the most loyalist camps that Trump as president is a total disaster even without this Russia thing in the way. Only Trump honestly thinks he will survive.

FizFashizzle posted:The nazi high command was impossibly incompetent and its one of the more bizarre accidents of history that they became as significant as they did. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3493762&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=901#post442986216  Hitler studies a scale model of his planned re-building of Linz, the future Cultural Capital of his reich.The skyline was to be dominated by a huge clock tower that would play a movement from Schubert's 6th every morning, and its gilded roof would be the first building to reflect the morning sun. Hitler was very concerned that the locals would be offended if the clock tower was taller than the tallest building in the city - the cathedral - and spent countless hours deciding the height of the tower. This was in February 1945.

FizFashizzle posted:I don't even think a reichstag moment is possible. Like what would have to happen to compare? Actually we know a lot about terrorists of all stripes, and politically they are remarkably similar throughout the world. This extends all the way to some white supremacist hillbillies openly claiming they have common cause with Al Qaeda. Luckily, white supremacists are so paranoid that they do not trust even one another, and every group is a separate cult of personality (rarely of ideology) that does not tolerate competitors. The FBI does a lot of work monitoring white supremacists, but I feel like if it was made a policy priority we could put an end to them, in much the same way that we now appear to have no U.S.-based terror "cells." It would take a 9/11-scale atrocity for this to happen, however.

They're not organized enough to have a cohesive strategy, least of all in their death throes.

Paradoxish posted:Was there any context to this at all to make it seem less over the top? All of the clips I've seen are just the statement, which is hilarious and comes across as "I support literally killing the poor." Freudian slip from "minimum wage" most likely, which is also not good to just verbally come out against at a debate at this point.

Kekekela posted:I never knew about this "Irish haven't always been considered white" thing until this thread, and still can't get my head around it. They're pasty white as gently caress, how would you even know they were Irish if they didn't talk? The Irish were a despised underclass in the British Isles for the better part of a thousand years, starting with accusing them of being barbarians in order to justify invading their land. Their status as an underclass dovetailed with the Catholic/Lutheran split, of which the Irish were on the losing side in Britain. Effectively they were stereotyped as loathsome, drunkard barbarians, because being downtrodden, they looked the part.
