I am looking forward to four more years of zecarlo being wrong about every single take you offer on Trump and people who support him. It truly keeps things interesting.
I don’t even need to dive into old threads to remind myself of exactly how wrong you have consistently been over the years. A 5 second search shows…
You have issues. Regardless, where was I wrong? Pat has a legitimate brain injury that made him retarded. AOC may be mentally challenged. Trump doesn’t know how the branches of government work, remember the wall he was going to have built? And Trump supporters don’t read because they are no different than the average American. I’m still waiting for proof Obama was born in Kenya.
I almost forgot, Trump was a NYC dem most of his life.
I think it’s even too late for that. The only thing stopping what I think is coming would be an extremely grave disaster of some kind. It would need to be Biblical.
Exactly. Or Pence. People can’t act like this is some silly game to Trump or it is all a show. It’s deadly serious.
Well, ‘da Covid essentially got Smokin’ Joe elected, so there’s that.
But I’m of the camp that Trump being out for 4 years, only to make the ultimate comeback, is actually working out better. Almost like divine intervention…cue shots fired…
I completely agree. 4 years of Biden was needed. It just was. Now people know. A lot of people had to see it play out.
I am not one to ever frame politicians in those type of religious terms, but damn if it doesn’t seem like providence. Lots of really solid picks, lots of ambitious, clearly-defined plans and lots of momentum. It will be up to Republicans to fuck it up.
Even if another totally-not-a-bioweapon novel virus with a similar risk profile gets introduced, the response would be dramatically different than last time.
I can’t think of any trick Democrats could possibly have up their sleeves. I can’t think of how powerful business interest would derail this, even though they will certainly influence it. I can’t think of how foreign governments could run it off the rails, either.
Barring something completely unexpected or perhaps a Taiwan invasion sparking WWIII, I don’t see the Democrats being able to do much besides hang on where they can however they can, like they’re trying to do here in Maine.
Where in the hell are they going to get new voters now that the kids aren’t buying it anymore? How?
Yes. Including a lot of ex-democrat large donor billionaire types, the most important of course being Musk. Other notable silicon valley types. Hedge fund types also. Current democratic beliefs are anti-capitalism, anti-innovation, ergo anti economy; and bad economy means the empire is resting on quicksand. Just ask the old USSR.
It isn’t a right-wing mirage that only unread, gullible Trump voters are fooled by when M.I.T. walks away from woke. The ideology is crumbling in front of us in real time much, much faster than it assembled itself.
Movie studios will want to make money again eventually.
Celebrities will want to remain relevant.
Companies will get sick of catering to nutjobs and return to focusing on delivering good products and services.
Media conglomerates just watched their power evaporate.
The military industrial complex will probably be strengthened, which isn’t necessarily good, but may be needed at the moment.
Kids are going to have much better public schools.
People are going to line up behind it, because it is a fundamentally good movement. Flaws and all.
I’m optimistic, and I’m looking forward to people continuing to insist that I’m reading the situation all wrong. It’s what makes this fun, especially when work has been slow.
I see just a lot more people hopping on the Trump train and MAGA movement in the coming years than I see running back to woke. It is fundamentally non-racial in all of its ideas. Everyone’s welcome.
Democrats will eventually renounce woke just like they renounced segregation and slavery and Jim Crow. Malicious and shitty ideas can’t stay popular for long unless they completely take over the system.
It’s hard to make any argument whatsoever that Trump has plans of subverting our system of government or infringing on anyone’s rights. There will be zero women in the USA who will be unable to access an abortion in cases of medical necessity, rape, incest and similarly rare reasons. Otherwise just about every state will end up like somewhere in Europe on abortion, or be within a few hour drive of one that is. Women are going to be fine.
As time passes all of the people who called us stupid, crazy, racist and the like will look sillier and sillier.
What would you say to all of the Somalians in Lewiston who voted for Trump? Some of 'em are wearing the hat, even to the polls the other week. I never wear the hat.
Your whole sad way of viewing the world is going away. We thought it was gone back in the 90’s, but it came roaring back with Obama. You had a lot of nominally smart people propping the whole rotten ideology up for a while, but the grift is ending.
The whole woke racialist transgender movement will, quite ironically I might add, be composed of bitter clingers within a few years. Nutjobs will remain free to talk about subverting white power structures and how they can tell you what that evil white man REALLY wants to do to you, and some people will keep eating it up.
The rest of us will be moving on with life and probably making a lot more money in safer neighborhoods while our kids and grandkids get to attend more effective public schools.
Yes of course, that’s exactly what Trump REALLY wants to do to everyone who doesn’t pledge loyalty to him. Please.
The great thing about MAGA is that even the woke bitter clingers will get to reap the benefits.
Relax. It’s not like we’re trying to flood the country with migrants, make you pay for it and redefine the concept of citizenship. We won’t even make you pay to support drug users taking over your downtown.
