@adamscrabble I was just thinking about that yesterday when my grokbot alerted me to some recent Paul Pelosi trades. I thought “wasn’t his head bashed in?”
@kyoumoganbaruzp@Indian_Bronson True in my case. And even though I’m happily married, I enjoy increasing my attractiveness and perceived worth. Makes me ever more valiant for ignoring the increasing interest from women (and men).
People say things like, "Where will people go when America falls," THERE IS NOWHERE ELSE. Expats are allowed to live in abroad, in small numbers, and that could change overnight. Israel won't be safe if the Bolsheviks win here. Nowhere to run to. Time to get involved.
The danger here is real because key problem is that Texas's almost exclusive virtue was its right wing culture.
Absent the security being right wing, there's very little reason for people to stay.
I'm not saying he's wrong, but it's a much harder sell than people realize. This election wasn't supposed to be possible. Texas was supposed to be impenetrable to the left; safe for political refugees. Now that's been undermined.
Texas is in real danger now exactly because it lost its aura of invincibility. If people fled California, with all of it virtues, they're not going to stay and defend Texas. If right wingers start fleeing, Texas will flip blue quickly because of all of the migrants.
Texas assumed that the right wingers would stay... And maybe they will, but it's entirely possible that they don't, and that'll be a catastrophe.
The deeply disturbing thing about the suburbs going blue is that the suburbs exist because Democrats made it impossible for whites to exist in cities, largely by supporting the same sorts of pro-crime policies they still support
The French nobles after the revolution at least "forgot nothing" in addition to having learned nothing. The average American homeowner appears to have "forgotten everything" in addition to having "learned absolutely nothing"
Like, the reason you are in this inconvenient spot requiring a long commute is because of state-sponsored ethnic cleansing that occurred a generation ago. Voting blue is now just voting for that to happen again, this time to your $1 million home in the 'burbs rather than to a townhouse in the nice area of town
What can one do with such people? They're idiots.
Rupert Lowe explains what happened to Lebanon when the Muslim population went over 15%
"When Lebanon got its independence in 1948. They were a Christian country and they were a very confident country. They had the best universities. They had a very open society. I never went to Beirut. I don't know if you went to Beirut, but Beirut in the 60s was meant to be the best place on earth to be. Great wine, freedom, very enlightened. It was a great place; lots of people were there.
The minute that the Muslim population went over about 15%, you started to get a problem with a civil war. You got the Druze and Maronite Christians in a civil war with the Muslims. And now Lebanon is a Muslim country, and Hezbollah, backed by Iran, is effectively running the show."
I keep staring at this tweet like it’s an abstract painting. Every time I look at it, I discover another layer.
Mark Levin is still using AOL.
Mark Levin got locked out of AOL.
Mark Levin spent eight hours arguing with AOL tech support, presumably ON A TELEPHONE.
And now Mark Levin is going to discuss his AOL troubles on his RADIO SHOW.
This isn’t a tweet. It’s a historical artifact out of a 30 year old time capsule.
I wonder if he sent it to everyone on Friendster
@Alexfeinberg I of course want/prefer a blood red Texas. Of course. But, I could be philosophically comfortable with a healthily purple Texas for the vigor and health of the dialogue. Besides, reliably Red states seem to degrade in candidate quality.
