I remember my friends parents' calling NPR Nice Polite Republicans and PBS Petroleum Broadcast System back in the 70s (I think) and certainly by the 80s, so....they've been rather right-leaning for a very long time.
This is why I chuckle when I hear some wingnut talking about NPR and PBS as is they are just reeling off Marxist doctrine or something...
I find it so weird how many on the right wring their hands and clutch their pearls about birth rates while also claiming America is "full" (wtf? have any of these dipshit even driven through America much?) when it comes to things like immigration.
It infringes on what many in the US see as a basic human right: the ability to own and drive a car.
That Stockholm Syndrome is so wild to me - the car culture was foisted onto Americans. Even if you expose them to information about how this came to be, they still insist that driving back and forth 1+ hours every weekday from tract housing to the city for a job, with no truly viable public transit, is the peak of freedom and prosperity. And they have to spend lots of time, energy and money (and toxic inputs) into a lawn in many cases, too, mandated by HOAs. Eating up lots of their free time...
If you ever engage with some of these people that are so entrenched in their thinking about this, they'll act like the only other offering is some kind of WEF-ian "you'll own nothing and be happy", as if there is nothing else on the table but those two options - suburbian hellscape that requires a car to do anything at all, or....some kind of dystopian thing that WEF is accused of wanting to impose.
Anything good out there, and Taco and the rest of the qons want to ruin it.
I wonder how much ketchup is on the walls where Taco is eating today...how long until he calls Bezos on the carpet and demands that data that makes Taco look bad is not made public...
I'm sure insurance companies have no blinders on when it comes to climate change.
Wow, these people are just so very stupid.
...and to reiterate - I'm sure all the both-siderist Elevated Centrists and the more-leftist-than-thou types have a good explanation about how Biden/Harris would have been doing the same stupid things because something something "status quo"?
After 90 days, the tally of trade deals stands at two.
Adding trillions to the debt so we can do more handouts to the affluent, but when it comes time for paying for food, or science, or health care for anyone else:
Some folks are born, silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves, yeah
But when the taxman comes to the door
The house look a like a rummage sale
This is Taco's HeckuvaJobBrownie Moment, except he's telling himself he did a heckuva job.
Cool, we have American Lysenkoism now.
Have you even thanked yourself once, Taco?
Heckuva job, Trumpy!
What's really wild is that I'm fairly certain there are single-issue voters that thought Taco was going to combat the "deep state" (meaning, the Clintons, Biden, or whoever qanon has smeared with their incoherent babbling) on human sex trafficking.
Meanwhile, Taco is suspect #1. He's the rapist. He's the on record saying creepy shit about underage girls, including his daughter, FFS.
And this is their single issue. And they are going to sit there and take it right up the fartbox because Taco don't care now that he's in the WH. He doesn't give a fuck about what any of these dumb yokels think of him now. They can sit there and performatively get angry and weep on camera like Alex Jones, but they will be as impotent as ever...
Well, the idea of running a Constitutional republic "like a business" is stupid for a whole lot of reasons, but having Taco run it like one of his "businesses" is....next-level stupid.
....Matt Gaetz enters the chat.

our vast natural beauty protected by the federal government in perpetuity
Well, for the moment, anyway....
Carter got a raw deal.
There is no way that Taco, in a sane universe, should be popular with any sentient being.
Isn't this a feature and not a bug to the demons that destroyed USAID?
ZOMG, is this guy a wokester sciencey type on climate?
