    I don’t know who this guy is, or why MAGA is so obsessed by him. I’ve never heard one word from him, and don’t even know where Id go to hear him, or see him, or whatever he does. He literally has no influence in my life, at all. I suspect MOST Democrats are like me, and I’m not even a Democrat.

    As long as we allow MAGA to keep us on topics like this, we are LOSING. Whenever they bring up this guy, or trans, or Biden, or whatever their wedge issue Boogeyman of the day is, we need to ignore it, dismiss it, bat it away without a single comment about it, and steer the conversation to one of these topics:

    Affordability (the big one, it got Trump elected, and it will get Dems elected even more)

    Epstein Files: Full disclosure. Trump and his friends are in them

    Data Centers: They will destroy everything, and we’ll pay for it.

    AI: The future is either a permanent 50%+ unemployment rate, or they murder all of humanity.

    Flock Cameras: You will now get daily fines in your mailbox whenever you go 3 mph over the speed limit, and they will track you down and arrest you if you have overdue library books.

    ICE: They will kill us, they are already doing it.

    Taxing Sociopathic Oligarchs and their Corporations: They will pay their fair share of taxes, including on hidden wealth. If they won’t disclose it, it will be heavily estimated.

    Health Care: What health care?

    Student Loan Reform: Sure, just saddle your most productive young citizens with a lifetime of debt as soon as the graduate from college. That won’t ever affect the entire economy in a few years, when they can’t afford ANYTHING.

    MAGA Corruption: Were just going to let this continue like it’s somehow legal?

    The AmerIsraeliWar®: The Draft is coming. The front line of a war is a great place to siphon your dissidents.

    Mass Surveillance: If you aren’t doing anything illegal, then what are you worried about? What’s illegal? EVERYTHING!

    Investigations, Impeachments, Prosecutions of MAGA crime: A president, a Secretary of Defense, a White House Advisor, a bunch of Homeland security turds, a few SCOTUS justices, some congressmen and senators, etc.

    These are the real issues, and we need to take control of every discussion, steer them to these issues, and make them defend their record, and their plans for America’s future.

      Issue with affordability, is they blame Dems when not their fault, don’t understand what president and congress can really do about affordability, so if not happy, they assume voting for the other one will fix. Last time they ignored the reasons for inflation, believed the propaganda, and said let’s try maga again. Until the core issue of critical thinking is fixed, and understand how all this works, they will keep following the propaganda on the social feeds they sit and absorb, numb from the artificial scarcity they keep voting for or don’t show up. They are too stressed from that to think and just mindlessly feed on the pacifying videos and graphics.


      Voters didn’t care,

      Misinformed selfish hasty,

      Now nazis kidnafp


      Could have voted for,

      Progress but were told that Dems,

      Make gay trans furries

      Same here. I know I’ve heard the name before, but probably only in the context of Republicans freaking out about him. I didn’t know who he is, or why they don’t like him

    “Not only is he an evil socialist leftist, but he’s also in great physical shape and rather attractive.”

    Weird flex, but ok.

      I’m guessing that’s why they are so hard on AOC. She is a woman, minority, smart and attractive. They are most upset about being attracted to her.

        I think I figured this out years ago.

        So male Boomers became used to being catered to by a never ending parade of blonde Fox News hosts. Who would tell these spoiled bastards how they, the white men of the most economically priviledged generation in history, how they were the victims constantly. And how they should be outraged by that.

        So the dopamine reactors of them are now wired to that. Then comes AOC. She’s young, very pretty, and on the news - but she’s NOT telling them that they’re being discriminated against! In fact, her message is that they probably have MORE than their share.

        So their brains, wired to have the horny with the outrage, basically go batshit.

    Dude should be selling GOP yard signs, bumper stickers, and flags with that image on it immediately with all of the proceeds going to the Talarico campaign and some charity the GOP hates. Would probably make a fortune and be a hilarious thing to say the GOP is backdoor funding everything they hate.

    Republicans are the worst kind of pervert: They not just lie about their attractions, they abuse the people that interest them.

        sorry. I said he abused his dog, but it was the hasan that said America deserved 9/11. oh wait, that was “just a joke”.

        maybe it was the hasan that downplayed sexual assault crimes and blamed victims instead? bet he was joking about that too.

        you know, I’m starting to think that with all the jokes hasan says he might be a clown.

        edit: why all the downvotes people? are you upset because your perception of him as a great leader is being challenged or do you support his message that rape and murder is ok?

          Oh, it’s definitely because I support his message that rape and murder are OK. As a Satanic Islamocommunist who wants to force everyone share the same toothbrush, follow Shakira Law, and to force all children to trans their genders, when I heard that Hasan kicks puppies and wants to drown orphans, I was like, “Hell yeah! Now this is a guy I can get behind!”

        He’s 6’5" and is an avid… well he’s not a bodybuilder and he’s not an athlete in the sense that he does -a- sport seriously, but he stays fit. It’s a grwat example of what anyone could achieve if you actually dedicated the time to it in parallel with spending 8+ hours a day at a deak playing games and watching internet videos, news and otherwise.
