This is true. I think people tend to ignore that Reagan had been on a big downward trajectory before he jumped to politics.

In a relative since compared to his heydays during the 1990s, but Terminator 3 still was profitable (but not Terminator 2 profitable).

although i didnt understand the term chim/royalty in the k6bd/morrowind sense, but it was when i saw him totally commit to the a supporting role as a closeted gay and/or trans man for be cool in 2005 (which was potentially career defining for an actor although it didn't end up comparing to get shorty) that i understood that dwayne "the rock" johnson was not in fact abother celeb wrestler, but in fact royalty.

the actual role i wouldn't call unproblematic (since i'm not entirely comfortable endorsing the "obviously deeply queer but totally oblivious themselves" archetype as a source of humor and because there are issues with representation with casting a straight cis guy in a LGBT role) but he gained an incredible amount of respect from me for being a masculine icon totally willing to publicly embrace a role in which he was depicted as very very gay and deeply feminine during the bush era.

The rock has more power than the president. He makes more money. Sells everywhere. No one hates him (except marks who think technical ability matters).

people in this thread were predicting crenshaw but all the magas loving hate him and think he's a baby eating pedophile because he called it too early for biden

its going to be trump, and if he doesn't feel up for it im not sure who within the current party can even stand up to sleepy joe and kopmala

the mypillow guy everyone keeps talking up but he doesnt even have the name recognition of trump. i remember reading a sci fi visual novel about stock traders on a lunar colony dropping a reference to trump

:toxx: Michael James Lindell :toxx:

He's been increasing his ad presence on Rightwing news programs and his general footprint in the rightwing space. This is assuming Trump isn't running again, if he does, he's got it. But he'll be too old and too toxic so I'm reasonably comfortable in my toxx.

He's a hardcore trumpist, a successful businessman and he's got a great redemption arc to give cover to his racism. Lots of NYT articles about how Evangelicals love him because he shows god's redemption while his campaign slogans are "Pull the trigger on welfare!" and "A liberal neighbor will put your daughter in labor".

I can paraphrase his opening speech: "We are men, and propose to live like men in this free land, or die like men, if need be, in asserting the rights of our race, our country, and our families. We know that if fraud and force can defeat us, they will be used. And we have resolved that they shall not defeat us. We shall arm. We shall meet fraud and falsehood with defiance, and force with force. They have seized the government by bribery and corruption. They have loaded the nation, the state, the county, and the city with debt. The United States must be all American or all Socialist. We are resolved that it shall be American, and are prepared to make it so. We intend to vote them out, to frighten them out, and if this won't do, to kill them out."

The QAA peeps think Marjorie Taylor Greene is the frontrunner for 2024 GOP candidate, and hell, I believe them.

The MyPillow guy, sorry, he just ain't happening. At worst he makes David Hogg's career in the public eye implode. Otherwise, he's too much of a niche fixture, he only gets press by advertising on Fox. Who the hell even remembers his name? I have to think of him as the MyPillow guy.

Finally, Donald Trump gets away with his sexual impropriety because he is the one who cheats on his wives. Meanwhile the MyPillow guy is an actual cuck.

Lauren boebert. She checks allp the boxes: Trumper, mom-hot, small business owner, gun rights, female, "political outsider". Hell she's got 1000x the populist bonafides Trump did. Idk about her political savvy but I think the raw ingredients are there. MTG is peaking way too early, she'll self immolate

Confession time: i like LB's energy. I'm pretty sure her pet issues are dumb right wing schlock but her lengthy criminal record full of petty charges and GED endear her to me, and I chuckle when hearing about her sneaking guns into the capitol. Until I hear about her racist double life or whatever, I'm rooting for her :twisted:

No even better, she was with him. Reading up on this I found that her views are even crazier than i thought, like wanting to abolish DeptofEd lol

She has her moments though:

quote:

In 2015, she was cited for misdemeanor disorderly conduct at a music festival for telling officers that their arrest of a couple of underage drinkers was unconstitutional because the teenagers had not received Miranda warnings.[90] As she was being handcuffed, according to deputies' reports, Boebert tried to twist away from police, saying that "she had friends at Fox News" and that the arrest would be "national news".[90] She twice failed to appear in court on the charge.[90] The petty offense was dismissed because the Mesa County district attorney's office believed a jury would not convict her.[90]
