If you were going to choose a metaphor for the 2024 Republican Party, a garbage truck chauffeuring around a billionaire traveling around in circles and going nowhere, all for a photo op, is pretty spot on.
I've had to stare at Fuck Joe Biden and Fuck Brandon signs and flags for the past five years. Now the MAGA faithful are offended that they may have been referred to as "garbage?"
News Flash: They ARE garbage.
Many don’t realize that the first people Hitler sent to his concentration camps weren’t everyday Jewish citizens, but his political opponents. So, when Trump rants about retribution, locking up his opponents, and giving them “very long sentences,” I can’t help but take him seriously… because history teaches us that is what fascist dictators do during their “Day One” period to consolidate their power. (After all, if you’re hellbent on staying in power but aren’t likely to win the next election, you can’t have your political opponents running around free.)
To keep fascism out of our lives, vote for democracy!
I think about Flanny often. One of the greatest pitchers I ever caught, but an even better friend. We had some magical years together in Baltimore. Not too many days go by without him coming up one way or another. RIP Flanny. You were one of the good ones. #Birdland
The electoral college is the dumbest thing in all of politics.
Why is it that my vote counts less than someone else’s because of the population density of the state I live in?? That’s ridiculous lmao.
It’s not even like some small thing either. Voters in Wyoming count 3.57 times as much as voters in California. So dumb.
People will say “But Wyoming has barely anybody in it, so without the electoral college they wouldn’t get as much representation!” How is that a bad thing?? They get less representation because nobody fucking lives there. A states voting power should be directly proportional to the number of people it represents, because every person is equal.
they spent an entire month lying that Biden was denying aid to North Carolina for political reasons and then Trump just came out and said he’d deny aid to California for political reasons
