He should’ve gone into US politics instead
He should’ve gone into US politics instead
They aren’t joking when they talk about creating new beach front properties
Russia giving JD Vance some great new policy ideas
Plus all the MAGA dorks that’ll be in charge keep talking about cancelling the CHIPS Act which probably impacts decision making…
Interesting he feels clear to admit this after Trump is elected.
Overthrowing 1st world countries as well
Also threaten to pull broadcast licenses for any news agency that looks at you with squinting eyes. Yay freedom of speech.
Downward angle is increasing significantly now though, I’d imagine
Unrelated, but there was another article that showed up when i scrolled down about the Dems holding the PA House that was really interesting:
"Burns, a conservative anti-abortion Democrat, has drawn the ire of the Pennsylvania GOP for some time now, as his seat was viewed as a vulnerable blue dot in a sea of red. But he was able to maintain his seat thanks to an influx of cash ($3.4 million from the Pennsylvania House Democratic Campaign Committee) and a potent advertising blitz to keep Democrats in control of the state House.
One ad the Burns campaign ran capitalized on his conservative views, stoking anti-immigration based fear and casting Bradley as against Trump’s draconian immigration plans. “President Trump supports secure borders and putting America first. But Amy Bradley doesn’t,” the ad stated menacingly. It was a successful tactic for Burns in his otherwise deep red district."
That’s a sign to me that people aren’t as huge a fan of MAGA as one would believe and the voting base is more fluid. Not saying Dems should shift to anti-immigration / anti-abortion, but locally they should be more strategic about how they play these things. We don’t have to agree with everything a down-ticket Democrat does… if they need to adjust their positions based on local sentiment we should be open to that as long as nationally we know where we stand.
That’s what MAGA did with abortion…nationally oppose it, but claim to “give the choice to the states” to placate local fears. Localized and targeted messaging. If they don’t want student loan forgiveness, don’t run a single ad about student loan forgiveness in that state/county. If they mainly about immigration, make every ad about what the immigration bill would’ve done, that Trump/MAGA blocked it, that “BLOOD IS ON THEIR HANDS” as MAGA would put it.
Don’t give up our overall ideals but start to better recognize that everyone has different priorities and we need to build a popular movement that connects with everyone.
Every and any avenue should be explored.

That’s why he wants Hitler’s generals instead. Much more suited to his style of governance.
It is disturbing how accurately this maps to what’s happening today…
Enjoy the holiday season. Spend time with your loved ones. Remind yourselves what keeps you going and stay strong in the coming years.
There are families in Gaza who still manage to endure, citizens of Ukraine who have endured the full strength of the Russian army, families in Sinaloa who go through cartel checkpoints taking their kids to school…
We’ll get through this. Who knows, maybe we’ll even find this to be the catalyst for the changes we always knew would need to happen to thwart the inevitable oligarchy.
You’d have to be if you don’t know what’s in store for you by now.
That or you just have a bootlicking fetish.
No disagreement there, just suggesting we additionally continue to do everything and anything to get word out to other less-savory platforms as well.
None of that will matter if things are still shit when it’s time to vote. Just like with Dems in 2024… we had every reason to blame inflation on COVID and Trump’s horrible response but many people just decide by looking at their grocery bill a couple days before heading to the polls.
We are certainly in a stronger position than woman when they had no right to vote, or black Americans during the civil rights era.
I know this is bad but we can’t be whiny bitches about it and give up the moment the scale tips in their favor.
Freedom is still a strong message that can resonate. Professionalism and sound economic policy too. I suspect they will be even more greatly appreciated by then…
Sure, fake elections are a possibility, but with overwhelming exit polling and local activists doing everything they can to provide accurate vote tallies we can at least make it abundantly clear if 2028 ends up stolen. Illegitimate power leaves MAGA exposed to a broad range of potential challenges.
Or maybe not.
But at least be ready for that moment if it comes and don’t actively discourage others from doing the same. If MAGA can fight this hard for complete bullshit nonsense from some billionaire that openly manipulates them, then we can fight harder for the rights of our children and future generations.
Well we can bend over and spread our cheeks or we can at least make it as difficult as possible and maintain whatever last rays of hope that we can. It’s the least we can do if we really are the last real American citizens.
Trump certainly didn’t roll over and apparently that pays off in surprising ways sometimes.
Do what? Reach more people than we would if we stick purely to our little safe spaces?
Yes. It’s trivially provable:

Etc. Etc.
Those 2 posts have probably gotten more views than everything you and I have ever posted online combined.
Again, it’s not about being louder than Elon Musk and whatever bullshit shenanigans, it’s just about not 100% conceding the information spaces like because they aren’t fair. Nothing is going to be fair for the next 4 years, but that doesn’t mean we give up.
Mac Miller ite though
