Miller is a vicious little shit who has what fantasy authors would call “low cunning”. He knows very well that he will never be as influential as he is right now, and that his influence will likely die with Trump. So he’s speed running all his stuff.

I personally think there’s going to be at least an attempt at a palace coup by Ron DeSantis once Trump is gone. He’s getting older, and he’s ambitious. I’m pretty sure he’ll beat Vance if he gets any momentum.

There can’t possibly be enough coal miners for the electoral math to be that important. This feels more like a “cultural win” - sticking it to those tree lovers peddling scams like climate change, or whatever.

The problem is it’s not obvious that it won’t work. Being a black women all else being equal loses you easily 5 percent of votes on its own. That’s an election. Newsome is a tall handsome white dude. People won’t have trouble “seeing him behind the desk”.

Trump and MAGA , in the midst of destroying the country , are also dragging the Overton window further right. The shittier they behave, the less the DNC feels the need for any radical change. Unfortunately, they could easily be right.

Isn’t NH already one of the whitest states? It wouldn’t even make a difference to scores even if their premises were correct. They’re racist for the love of the game.

How many americans need to be killed or wounded before congress shuts down this terror organization?

I think that question basically doesn’t have an answer, since Trump’s supporters don’t live in the same reality. Within their bubble, that agent is a hero and Good was a terrorist or whatever. They don’t know that previous administrations have managed to enforce immigration law without essentially declaring martial law, and they don’t know that ICE agents are being hired with literally no getting. If they found out, they are well-trained to not care .

If you want to know when this will even begin to stop, well, the stock market is doing just fine. While that is the case, Trump can do whatever he wants.

Remember folks, even the unproven allegation that Mossad paid off someone in those protests means that you have ideological cover to oppose the whole thing. Peak tankie logic .

Empathy is the reason we didn’t go extinct at the peak of the afro/eurasian bottleneck when we numbered less than 2,000 individuals.

True, but it’ll the current manosphere chud-driven narrative around this it’s also worth mentioning that empathy is not itself an emotion. It may result in an emotional response, but empathy itself is an cognitive process through which one person considers the perspective and emotions of another. Consciously turning off your empathy literally just makes you dumber and less rational.

You see this all the time with prominent Republicans who suddenly become pro-gay rights as soon as their own kids come out. Bruh, gay people didn’t suddenly start deserving rights just because your kid happens to be gay, so you were either being irrational before or you’re being irrational now. The cognitive process by which you could have avoided irrationality was by engaging in empathy - consider the perspectives and feelings of others, consider how and why they come about, and incorporate that into your thinking.

Why would they use russian IPs if it was a russian DDOS attack, lol

Because theres no reason not to.

This type of shit is why I really do not understand why people want Gavin Newsom as the next presidential candidate.

It’s just pragmatism. He’s the type of non-MAGA candidate that the US could actually elect, should a fair election occur again .

I can’t wait for the ADL’s statement explaining how this is fine and not real antisemitism.

Half the country loves this btw.
