We’re about 80% of the way to Idiocracy.

WTF are you talking about? I’m sorry, I can’t parse what you’ve said as a response to what I said. I do, however, hear that you are very angry. I’m sorry for your frustration and hope you are able to figure out some positive way to channel that energy. I agree, there’s a lot going on in the world that is super-upsetting. I just don’t think we’ll solve anything by dehumanizing broad swathes of the population. Sure, some people are assholes and they’re certainly over-represented among Trump supporters. But, for example, the other dude who responded about his mother. Someone like her is not such a black-and-white case. And, generally, more is accomplished by trying to understand the motivations of others than by dismissing them as bad people.
Edit: But, yes, some people are bad (Trump, for example). And, it is not a good use of time to try to understand their motivations. I guess it comes down to how and where to draw that boundary of empathy, so-to-speak.
If that let’s you disengage from the issue, then OK. But, alas, reality is more nuanced than that.
A lot of it boils down to abortion. When you see abortion as baby murder, it would take an awful lot to offset that moral significance. In other words, many who support Trump wouldn’t exactly condone rape, corruption, etc, but they feel abortion is a much larger moral issue.
Shall we unite behind God-King Trump then? The more decentralized and “competitive” the system, the better for most individuals. Sure, there is inefficiency, but those inefficiencies might save us from fascism.
It’s jangling keys. So long as there are enough headlines about cousins banging, we won’t have enough time left over to get upset about corruption, fascism, etc.
“Absolutely. And other powers. It doesn’t have to be foreign powers.”
NSA has entered the chat.
I mean… There is. But, Trump’s side represents a much more imminent and intentional threat.

Or, require payment from them.
Thank you for this. Please keep posting it. This was my first time seeing it.
Warren doing whatever the fuck she thought she was doing
She was making sure Bernie lost by splitting the progressive vote. That was exactly the intention.
Or, ya know, just reinstall right quick.
The only problem is that everything he says is a lie…
Yeah right. Like how Mueller was taking his time because he was building an air-tight case. I’ve been hearing this kind of thing since early in his presidency. I no longer buy that the “good guys” have a plan and will put a bow on it in the end.

I mean… It is literally an ad. I don’t see how you could not consider it one. You could claim it doesn’t bother you or isn’t too intrusive or something, but it most certainly is an ad.
Well, yes, him too.
Is this the pee pee tape dossier?
