Bluesky is the place to be so I no longer post or visit here Just exists so a bot doesn't steal it.

Last post on here because the owner has finally gone full Nazi. Find me on the blue side. As soon as NWS gets the guts to move over there this account will be off the platform completely.

[John Knebel @HurdleBoss]

Slowly unfollowing people on here as I merge to the other blue place. Will be a short time until that is my only social media account

The blue space really took off this week. Finally enough to start limiting the activity here. If you jumped before and were disappointed give it a try again.

23 years ago today I was baptized. The disappointing thing about the election for me is that as a kid "Christians" said Bill shouldn't be president because of what he did. Those same "Christans" elected a cheating child rapist as their president. My church taught me better.

@BCB_PharmD I'll die on the hill that a lot of white young men feel isolated and gravitated to where they felt accepted. That was a huge part of the republican playbook and it worked.

@edzitron @Pontifex As a Vikings fan... karmic retribution.

[John Knebel @HurdleBoss]

Same name for those moving... probably won't jump completely until pharmasky takes off but looking forward to that day

When you grow up seeing messaging directed at every demographic but your own you feel forgotten. Blaming "white men" makes people defensive as an emotional reaction. Most people decide with emotion rather than well researched logic. Republicans knew this and pounced on it.

This is why less desirable candidates get the nomination in the first place. 10 candidates with 2-4 very close so the outlier makes it through.

Problem is, one of the way to exit that is with ranked choice voting, which was on the ballot in several states.

To my knowledge, it was defeated in all cases, and one state appeared to have outright banned it.

We ain't getting away from this rollercoaster anytime soon.

In the words of agent K
"The person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it."
The democratic party in my lifetime still havent figured this out.

Likely triple red with a GOP I wouldnt have believed exists 10 years ago, let alone 20. It my not be as bad as it feels but it seems like the foundations of the US will tested in the next 4 years.

Well played sir, well played.

@ArifHasanNFL Even for the wild responses you get this is out of left field... well right field

[John Knebel @HurdleBoss]

Really amazing that if you looked at the box score stats minus the score you would think the Vikes are doing really well, but it feels like they are getting curbstomped.
Now, is that Vikings PTSD or real?

[John Knebel @HurdleBoss]

@Kramer9Guy Was thinking more of a Carlson myself

[John Knebel @HurdleBoss]

This is actually impressive. Now, what classic memory will the Vikes pull off next?

[John Knebel @HurdleBoss]

@alec_lewis Had to miss one to put us at ease come playoff time #flashbacks
