No survivors means no witnesses to counter the bullshit narratives from these Orwellian jackasses.

I guess this is one of the Republicans that thinks their own base will firebomb their house with their family in it.

Because they've been grooming terrorism among their base for so very long....

Don't they already have several such sites? Like most of social media, Breitbart, Faux, OAN, and on and on?

The so-called "party" of the GOP is going to need a witness protection program for their own politicians.

So they ALL know that their own base are terrorists.

They are always acting like the real terrorists are things like BLM or anti fascists. But they always end up telling on themselves.

Yep. It's always been about their perverted notion of "liberty", meaning, the Southern kind.

The conservatives and the Republicans have always been full of shit in every key talking point they ever used. They only care about "states rights" when it comes to stripping away human rights.

They don't give a shit about liberty or the Constitution, either.

I'm not so sure that critical thinking is getting any better. And I seriously wonder what AI slop will do to the brains of those that already have terrible critical thinking skills and zero media literacy.

I've been watching the adherence to xtianity generally trending down about 1% per year for quite a while, though, so that's promising.

Oh for fucks sake.

These people whining about how oppressed they are for being xtians are just so very insufferable. Just because they ran into someone that doesn't put their precious chosen lifestyle on a pedestal and clap for name-dropping their little book club... 🙄

The sad thing is that college is and has been viewed for at least my entire life as just a more elaborate version of a vo-tech school.

Which I kind of understand - I didn't want to come out of uni with no path forward either, so I went for CS. Believe me, I understand the game.

However - it's a real shame that we don't treat K-12 or university as something to really broaden the mind, but only as a way to sort the population into various ways to earn money. Essentially ONLY used as a job training program.

Instead of treating education as something that should be about getting a liberal education in every sense of that word with the aim of making as many people as possible autodidacts so they could not only think for themselves, but they could teach themselves nearly anything they care to learn, K-12 + higher education is expected to be about prep for a job. This kind of education essentially makes "do your own research" little more than a punchline aimed at morons who are doing no such thing.

Maybe a net win, but if the alternative is that elites do, say, 1% better, while everyone else does 5% worse, guess what the elites are going to pick?

It very much depends on the degree.

There was a dumbass (regular commenter on Denver Post) that kept insisting, year after year, that "The Storm" was coming. First, it was the fall of 2017, IIRC. When myself and others would point out that it's now 2018, and 2017 came and went, he'd insist it was any day now. We'd chide him and ask for more details on just who was getting arrested, and for what, and he made these claims on what evidence...he'd get rather cagey about it all.

But he'd be back, insisting it was coming any day now. We'd ask him to commit to a new date. He'd give one, like "November 2018". This would of course come and go and no "Storm" to be seen. Hillary, Podesta and Obama all walking around quite free. This continued until the fall of 2020, and then I think he insisted that "The Storm" would happen before Donald leaves office.

He of course insisted that Donvict "really won" and he might not be leaving office in 2021. Well, most people could see that the annoying orange would rather not leave office and plotting a coup was not beyond him....

Anyway, I'm pretty sure this guy carried on with his belief in "The Storm" being just around the corner until 2024, when, not long before the election, the Denver Post shut down their comments. I'm sure he's still neck deep in this kind of nonsense, thinking Q is still a thing...for these morons, "The Storm" is just like the way end times prophecy cults go on about their eschatology...

LOL, "best efforts".

I doubt very few normal Americans will be the least bit sad if Donvict were to kick the bucket while in office.

The only thing that will be absolutely obnoxious in the wake of his passing would be all the moral scolds in the "center" lecturing anyone celebrating. Same with all the "independents".

And don't get me started on all the far right wing assholes that will try do the same thing they did to anyone that said anything they didn't like in relation to the shitstain Charlie Kirk. Even if many people know how vengeful these thin-skinned assholes all are, I bet spontaneous celebration breaks out...

Even so, Donvict will likely get the Ronnie Raygun treatment from at least parts of the "liberal media" if he were to pass away while in the WH.

He has all the energy of every omnivore that eats meat performatively once they learn they are in the presence of a vegetarian.

Time to get this cosplaying POS into prison...

Little baby donnie is still mad at Tim Walz for calling the Republicans weird, isn't he?

Turkey vs. chicken? Kinda mid, really.

My family is vegetarian, so we definitely know about what "expectations" are when it comes to something like Thanksgiving, LOL.

When it comes to "JD" "Vance"'s observation about turkey vs. chicken (turkey is dry AF and most people tend not to really go for it all that often?), I guess I've heard wags saying that nearly all my life, so kudos for his bravery on that.

I'd be more impressed if I were to see a prominent Republican go vegan or vegetarian and do it openly. I suspect most of them are so locked up in their delusional protein and/or masculinity myths that they'd never do it. They are too afraid of what other men might think of them, or what their base would think of them.

I cannot imagine that being seen as the weird puppet of the even weirder puppetmaster Thiel is doing him any favors, either.

I mean, Thiel and his weird associations - the freaks writing The Sovereign Individual, Curtis Yarvin, and Elon himself....blech. I think about the only people getting excited about any of those freaks and their ideas for how WE should live OUR fucking lives would be either the most idiotic of incel morons and centimillionaires and billionaires.

The Democratic Party needs to bring back calling these people weird again. I mean, all the time, too. Orchestrated. Like they started to do for like a minute before someone clearly had them dial it back.

Because these people are fucking weird. Sure, the right tries to constantly cast anyone to the left of Rush Limbaugh as some blue-haired trans person with face piercings and by that coding, way outside the mainstream. But anyone that is a billionaire is by definition someone that is wildly out of step with the everyday person. People like Mikey Johnson that have some weird porn pact with their son are deeply weird. People that follow the likes of Curtis Yarvin telling the elites that we need to get over things like democracy are extremely weird freaks, and people should point and laugh at this kind of thing.

But definitely point it out all the time...don't pretend any of this shit is the least bit respectable.
