I’m not about to read all of that.
I never twist anyone’s words.
See, this is why you are a liar. Somehow you’ve decided to call me woke when I have always stated my objections to that ideology. You couldn’t even repost any woke shit I may have posted. Not wanting to fellate Trump doesn’t make me woke.
Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, plus you finally let the cat out of the bag. I always suspected, but like you are right here and as all DSA indoctrinated types are trained to do, you’ll always say that what is plain to see isn’t really real or that we’re looking at things all wrong.
You guys always suggest that people like me don’t understand what we’re saying, implying that you do, but then all of your policies go on to produce ruin and despair. Everything I’ve described in my town is real, not some imagined right wing conspiracy.
To be a DSA activist is to be woke. There’s no such thing as a Democratic Socialist who is not woke in 2025. Besides, socialists have always despised other socialists, all of whom aren’t real socialists if you ask a socialist.
Reality is knocking on every DSA activist in Maine’s door right now, and the knocks are beginning to get LOUD. So loud even trained Marxists are having difficulty explaining it all away.
All of Trump’s EO’s are MASSIVELY impactful in Maine, or at least have the potential to be if they hold up to whatever court challenges take place.
Things will get spicy, for sure. Right now it looks like Maine is taking a #willnotcomply approach, but is of course using the slipperiest language possible. I’d need to do a little homework, but this is likely hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding for Maine that’s in jeopardy. DEI and transgenderism are two big culprits, but so are all of the green energy scams that have doubled my electric bill over the course of my governor’s term.
Nothing like that’s ever really happened before. This is going to be a pretty significant state/federal clash here in Maine, with hard-core ideologues trying to dig their feet in, but not yet confronted with the reality of the funding situation.

You’ve become really weird. Even by the standards of ME.
I think it is hilarious to be called “weird” by a socialist in 2025.
I’m probably just as weird as JD Vance.

You are trying way too hard. ZDS in full effect.
Of course, same stuff on both sides guy.
I’m sure we’d be up to 50 languages in Lewiston Public Schools instead of 42 if Republican policy was implemented.
It is so out of hand that our superintendent had to be corrected this week when asked how many languages LPS was attempting to instruct in. 36 was his first answer, which reflects the scale of these radical policies and how rapidly the situation has been changing.
I thought we were only in the mid 20’s up until Tuesday.
Hey, at least he was sort of close. What’s another six languages, anyway?
Who decided it was the people of Lewiston’s responsibility to care for and educate the children of the world, calling anyone who objected racist monsters?
Scammers, socialist cult members and their allies who were convinced that republicans are no better than fascists. Plus illegal immigrants and non-resident college students, of course.
The Republican menace has been effectively stopped here in Maine.
I never knew you were in Lewiston, ME. This is all very interesting. Have you ever considered running for president of your little hamlet?
I might go for city council and I’m still working on a book about Lewiston. No interest in pursuing the Mayor’s seat, which would be an extremely long shot without voter ID and stiffer residency requirements to keep Bates college kids from voting for our leaders.
My ward rep doesn’t really participate, doesn’t want to be there and was more or less installed because he will reliably vote with the socialists. I’m well-enough known for the 700 or so votes likely needed to be attainable, and things are shitty enough for Mainers to consider voting for a conservative Hoosier. My ward is also mostly native Mainers.
It is hilarious to me how irritated people get when I bring up the local impacts of federal policy. What other level should I be looking at this, of not what happens in my neighborhood?
It seems to irritate socialists because reality is in complete defiance of every political narrative they’ve advanced, and it is PLAINLY apparent to anyone who has lived here for a decade or longer.
Socialist experiments actually suck pretty bad. This town used to be pretty great, as far as American towns go. Portland, too. It isn’t some abstract policy debate anymore. Our parks and library are open air drug markets to house another revenue and political power stream for Democrats, who have successfully commoditized the most troubled people in Maine.
My kid will have a very difficult time if he decides to start a family in Lewiston, where he’s spent his whole life. It is a completely different town than what he got to grow up in. That’s a very sad thing.
Meanwhile, local architects of this mess assure us all that this is “normal” and “happening all over the place”, as if the people who live here simply must accept all of the additional burdens their policies place on us.
I’m happy to irritate people who would rather not know about these things or wish to write me off as deranged for explaining it. All of the issues I bring up about the local situation are also relevant at the federal level.

Under my leadership the people of T-Nation will experience bigger gains than anyone’s ever seen. Beautiful gains. We will dismantle Biden’s woke DEI agenda that has crippled our nation’s athletic abilities.
I will immediately sign an executive order to suspend all federal funding to gyms that allow endless social media filming and curling in the squat rack. I will also require every Brazilian Jiu Jitsu business to immediately end all butt-scooting and rename themselves to “American Jiu Jitsu”.

I love curling in the squat rack. I am going to need one of those exemptions.

My coach’s coach (who is pretty far left, as is my coach) has had some great shirts printed up over the years regarding martial arts bullshit. Butt-scooting is met with derision and shame in his gym, unless it is an injury or mat space situation.
He used to bounce in Portland, and had my favorite shirt ever made up in response to all of the
“I used to…”, “I would have…”, “I know how to…”
bullshit tough guys who can talk shit but can’t and won’t put up.
Effective immediately, all of my subjects in the Duchy of T-Nation who are O-35 and exhibit an acceptable level of muscle and strength development are preemptively pardoned for any and all squat rack curls committed between 2014 until the end of time.

If I recall correctly, you used to have an avatar of your back that definitely exhibited an acceptable level of muscle and strength development to qualify for The Duke’s Preemptive Pardon.
