Mind_Taker posted:Which states that are currently gerrymandered to a laughable degree in the R direction are likely to be redrawn to a fair (or D-favorable) map in 2020 due to pickups in governorships/state houses last night? NC is already due for at least partial redistricting but the decision happened too late for this election. Additionally, the state legislature is no longer a Republican supermajority (tying the hands of its 2016-elected Democrat governor) so the chances are getting much better.

Hahahaha I don't know if I'm being naive here, but he strikes me as being too spineless to really go all the way on stuff like obstructing the Mueller investigation and separating families. More of an indirect "make myself rich" evil than a direct "I derive pleasure from making minorities' lives miserable" malevolence.

Tibalt posted:Any NC goons want to confirm something for me? It appears based on local news articles that Roy Cooper is moderately popular in NC despite his ongoing battles with the legislature. Would that be a fair assessment? I've only heard occasional, generic grumblings about him being a Democrat, but usually he's a non-entity. So I think that's a yes. Nobody seems to dislike him for specific reasons, just the party he belongs to.

98% of Trump appointees are mercifully incompetent and can't manage to really get their policies off the ground without hitting roadblocks. The other 2% are people like Miller, Sessions, Bannon. That's why this feels like a (very) small victory: Trump has gotten rid of someone who was actually really beneficial to his administration, because he's too much of a thin-skinned baby to realize that it's easier to do evil stuff when you don't call attention to it. It's now a roll of the dice to see if his replacement is just as good at being bad, and the odds don't seem to favor that. So it could be a net gain, and probably won't be much of a loss. And in the process it's more fuel for the Mueller fire. I realize that sounds kind of accelerationist. I guess it would be, if I thought Sessions would be replaced by someone even worse. I don't. Hopefully I'm not wrong. Sir Lemming fucked around with this message at 20:07 on Nov 8, 2018 |

Lol at the suggestion that yelling at people's houses is suddenly the only way to defeat fascists. What is it even gonna do? You really think Tucker is gonna resign in shame now? Any possible benefit to this seems disproportionately small compared to how problematic it is.

Groovelord Neato posted:what makes these ghouls so alien to me is why not just live a life of luxury. you're worth hundreds of millions of dollars. go enjoy it. why gently caress everything up for the rest of us. jesus christ. You're not wrong, but I think the adaptability of humans is a double-edged sword here. We have an amazing ability to establish a "new normal." On one hand this helps us survive hardships. On the other hand it seems to always keep us at least a little bit dissatisfied. Once something becomes normal, you want more than that. The best antidote for this is to step out of your house and interact with people different from you, which most people don't bother to do, unless they have no choice (as you'd imagine, the less money you have, the less choice you have).

I love how our big dumb baby president could've just answered Acosta's fairly simple questions, even with a diplomatic "we don't know at this time" or whatever, but he's too much of a big dumb baby and now some poor White House intern has to write up a new set of regulations about how and when reporters are allowed to ask questions.

I don't really think Facebook has gotten either more or less Chuddy but it's hard to say. I've hidden entire sources one by one when I see some MAGA crap pop up, and eventually unfollowed people when it got to the point that they literally never posted original content at all, so there's no way of knowing, really. I do know that one of those people has begun complaining that Facebook censors conservative content, which is laughable considering how much I still have to put up with. This may become a self-fulfilling prophecy that causes them all to migrate to some other platform, I guess, even though Facebook is basically ground zero for MAGA crap ruining a website.

Trump wants us to think this is like a sitcom, where he was just a happy developer trying to do something Very Legal and Very Cool for us, but that nosy Robert Mueller almost spoiled the surprise, so he had to keep making up zanier and zanier lies to keep it going, but now it's ruined! Thanks a lot, Witch Hunt! But it's okay, we understand you were trying to do something Very Legal and Very Cool, so we'll forgive all those comedic misunderstandings in the end.
