Jimmy buffet: actually NOT a chud btw. I know, weird as hell

Chuds co-opt non chud stuff all the time, so not too weird. Trump still unironically plays Fortunate Son at rallies. How many chuds didn’t know Rage Against the Machine was political?

My impression tuis far is that the rationale regarding the loss is that "poo poo candidates" ran on "only icing" (the culture war bullshit, transing kids, critical race theory, etc.) but no "cake" (...??? Regular racist conservative politics?), and that Trump is at fault for "not vetting" his endorsements.

This is all courtesy of a Ben Shapiro rant, but if Ben loving Shapiro has turned on Trump, i feel like that's even more of a trend indicator than FOX news dumping him.

My hot take is Republicans went mask off fascism after the initial Dobbs repeal and people finally believed them. Plenty of Republicans went full in on crime, the border, (the old dog whistle racism issues) and the economy, and still lost. I think enough young people and people of color realize that Republicans at their best, will do nothing to help anyone, and at worst point will turn to some Christian Nationalism hellscape. Hopefully Gen Z stays engaged because only 1/2 of them are of voting age, and if they stay progressive, we might see some good things happen.
