2026 GOP campaigns can be summed up in three words:
- Transgenders
- Immigrants
- Communism
Finally, we've reached it. The true motivating animuses of the GOP base. No fluff about affordability, manufacturing, the deficit, strength. Just the rawest, basest impulses.
“the christian shoemaker does his duty not by putting little crosses on shoes, but by making good shoes, because God is interested in good craftsmanship”
how would this even work on a basic, practical level? they were elected in different years, both under heavy scrutiny, went through extensive run offs and—. oh i see you just want me up against a wall, huh?
I find the Lee Kuan Yew fetishism on the part of the right that pretends to be technocratic very funny. Sami Gold called it "playing with dolls" but honestly there's a lot more pathos to it.
The entire global right is now run by people who are the ideological descendants of Jörg Haider and Silvio Berlusconi. It's crooks and freaks who mobilize hatred to win power and once they take it all they want to do is bankrupt countries so they can spend money on sex and mansions, that's the whole thing.

The cognitive dissonance is literally *the only explanation here.* There's no non-psychological reading of these tweets.
That’s right, little Chuddies. The original Fallout was a gay coming of age story all along. You leave your rich gated community to go out into the world, meet new people who change you for life, and then your own home rejects you for being too queer.
illiterate american solider freezing to death at valley forge, being forced by their freakishly large, obsessively groomed general to endlessly perform his favorite play about his favorite roman, cato: fuck yes. this is exactly why i enlisted. im ride or die for this dude now.
The Platner-Collins race is pretty Kingian tbh. Phony baloney evil soul-pit machine politician with an evilish relationship history vs. dim witted, emotionally unstable guy who has undeniably done some very bad things but who the audience ultimately sympathizes with
The Roberts Court will go down in history as the worst since the Taney Court. Rolling back the rights of marginalized groups, bit by fucking bit. Obergefell is the *only* bright spot.
