The image that is painted of other people is even worse, so for them supporting Republicans is somehow the lesser evil. Even though this is just one topic where they’re sad and shameful.

Also… not sure I believe this poll is super accurate in phrasing.

Yeah, abjectly hate conversation view.

That’s the opposite of the fund raising numbers though?

Doesn’t look like it’s driving him crazy. He just lies about it, half of his supporters believe him, and the other half believe “in spirit”. Seems pretty normal.

Love the expression of the guy on the left. Probably describes everything you need to know about the encounter.

Web search used to be about scraping the web to find and present other people’s work as just that… their work. Now the handful of websites claim ownership of the contributions of everyone, and at this point it’s just corporations arguing about who owns your stuff. Pirates will not win out in this argument, except maybe in the very short term.

He doesn’t know who his opponent is, but he hates them.

This comment chain has illustrated how effective control over corporate media is. All I knew before was that he spoke at the RNC, and assumed the worst, which I’m sure was the intention. The content of his speech is definitely not widely distributed.

Religious/conservative nationalism is a powerful force for self flagellation through idiotic politics.

It’s ridiculous how effective “Republicans = economy” propaganda has been.

It was very clearly their one overarching necessity during the general insanity of Trump’s admin. Everything else they fought over and frequently failed at, but the trillion to the wealthy was overwhelming, united front, and the first major thing through Congress. Everything else was leftovers and pandering to less important people like their base.

Logitech mice always get better with age, they give you extra clicks for free with each touch of the button!

Doesn’t sound like a design flaw, it’s the whole point, only reason you need a cancellation portal.

Quietly?

In what way have they been subtle about loudly and proudly proclaiming what everyone else can or cannot do with their body?

The courts absolutely do something. My point is that most of the damage is done before it reaches the court.

Cops don’t arrest cops or people on their team. But when they do, prosecutors don’t charge cops. Cops do arrest nonviolent protestors. Prosecutors do charge nonviolent protestors. Later those charges are dropped, or they’re set free with an agreement not to sue the department, or occasionally there’s a settlement, that taxes pay for.

Not really

Conservative ‘protesters’ get treated with kid gloves, or pardoned by the governor of Texas. They usually don’t get charged. They have friends in the forces.

Progressive protestors get maced, shot, beat to shit, locked up, maybe charged but probably not since they are more frequently non violent, and then they maybe get a settlement.

E.g., how will this help those protesting cop city? The cops are already ignoring the law.
