@GoldenOutback@AdamBandt@ASRC1 People whose parents taught them manners and decency tend to not kick others who are down.
You should ask for your money back from your folks because for sure, they've failed their job of raising a decent you.
@Karl_Was_Right I reckon that's the mitigating point. The internet age means things are much much faster and more immediate than in the past. Things get built faster. Things fall apart faster.
@TimothyDSnyder Trump isn't a fascist. Trump is a toddler.
A lot of the people around Trump, though, are fascists. They're gonna shove him aside, invoke the 25th and President Vance will usher in Gilead.
@AshaRangappa_ Vance will be POTUS within a year.
His cryptobros puppetmasters will agitate to trigger the 25th amendment in 2025, shove The Donald out (or pay him off to go quietly) and let Vance get on with Project 2025.
@Bettyswinners@chriskunzler There's irony in people who've been subjected to pogroms being so keen to conduct their own.
"Never again" doesn't apply when Israel is the one doing it, eh?
Fuck your empathy.
@avalanche_7@CWJediMaster@ArtCandee I think he gets votes because he tells (and shows) people THEY can be as horrendous as they like, because he's as horrendous as THEY would like to be.
Trump is taken as a permission to be vulgar, hateful, base, venal. People like him for that.
@Jaccal68@cheryl_kernot@JonesHowdareyou@crikey_news Preferences means I can indicate my first choice, but if that first choice isn't going to get elected, then hopefully they'd have preferenced a more palatable second choice who won't be the absolute worse candidate possible, yes?
@johnpavlovitz So ... When we thought we'd win it, we warned that they would question the results when they lose, but when in fact we lost, we're ok with us questioning the results?
What are you basing this assertion upon? Feels? I thought we were better than them?
@duncanclement21@davidsirota Or maybe just offer up a white man to run next time around. Maybe it's that simple. Maybe America is THAT racist and THAT sexist/misogynistic.
@mwest410@davidsirota I don't think we disagree on much of this.
Clinton gutted the rust belt.
Those working class constituencies have been swept up by MAGA.
To reclaim them, offer them ideas that would lead to real progress for them and their children. Tax the wealthy to fund these ideas.
