@PicturesFoIder This site is truly garbage now. You post one cool video (which you stole of course, but that's beside the point) and 80 bots reply random garbage that vaguely fits the key words.
After all these intellectuals spending years fantasizing about what “Trumpism” could or should be, we now see what his administration actually cares about, at its most cocky and powerful. This isn’t me trying to be snarky or anything, I think this is honestly a fairly decent objective summary of what his team clearly sees as its priorities at a time when they feel extremely confident and in control:
- dramatically cutting pretty much everything the federal government does, including across the board cuts to staff, spending, and regulations
- completely eliminating all federal diversity and anti-discrimination programs
- pro oil and gas, but opposition to all forms of alternative energy
- eliminating official government recognition of LGBT
- pro-Crypto and pro “dark web” internet in general
- reducing all forms of immigration as low as possible
- economic hostility towards other countries
- taking land from other countries
- prioritizing personal loyalty to Trump above everything else when it comes to staffing decisions
- retconning absolutely everyone involved with January 6, 2021 as people who did absolutely nothing wrong and are in fact worthy of celebration
- explicit, repeated adulation of Trump as the greatest president in the history of the United States
Is there anything big I’m missing? This has been a busy few days.
@TimAlberta@RadioFreeTom If this actually happens politics as we know it is a war of educated vs uneducated voters. To think we live in a bad economy that’s the ruling party’s fault is the only reason we could get to literal developing country status with our democracy and nosedive every other measure.
One reason pollsters might be failing to pick up what and Seltzer picked up in Iowa, is a lot of women are afraid to say they are voting for Harris.
Sharing stories yesterday after knocking doors in Pennsylvania, can't tell you the number of canvassers who had wives standing in the background while speaking to the husband and having them mouth something to the effect that they were voting for Harris. Or if they answered the door, they pretended to not say who they were voting for out loud and then whispered they were voting for Harris. It's kind of heartbreaking actually.
One of the joys of canvassing is that you meet people who fall into nobody's mental categories.
Case in point: the 70yo white guy I just canvassed who told me he's undecided because they're both great candidates and both would do a great job.
@tribelaw Can somebody PLEASE cite the Hitler quote specifically? I'm not denying the sentiment, but I get skeptical when people start word-for-word comparing translations of things and quote things without references. Yes, call them out, but don't undermine yourself with false references.
I'm learning fast that this is a tough time to be looking for new positions. If anybody knows about a full stack role, I've got 6+ years of experience in a wide variety of technologies, plus a lot of comfort with devops and even some data / stats work. Hit me up!
