While I agree, the cult has fractured a few times. It’s the irritating part of Trump that he’s just smart enough to back off when he knows he’s losing his cult.

The vaccine thing is one of them. Early on there was a speech where he’s talking about how good it was, and that he has it and that his people should have it. His crowd booed him. That moment he went full anti-vax in his rhetoric. Trump is in the lead and pouring gasoline on the fire, but he doesn’t have control over his own cult if it goes a way he doesn’t want it to go. Unfortunately he’s just smart enough to keep them happy knowing they’ll tear him apart if he steps in their way.

HE WAS THE ONE THAT PUSHED OPERATION WARP SPEED! The literal thing that created the shots! The method of them being “developed too fast” was Trump!

We were always at war with Eastasia.

Fuck it, the right wingers don’t believe in rules, why should we?

Mitch McConnell could be argued to be the man who killed the US with how much damage he did to it. Right now Trump is the evil that’s at the top because he got control of the party, but the house wouldn’t be falling apart around had the termite infestation of Moscow Mitch not put holes through the entire thing.

You’re completely right. Identifying as a republican doesn’t matter if you voted Trump or not, Republicans ARE the problem.

Oh boy, Joe Rogan is just the newest flavor of awful. Bill O’Rielly started the whole current entertainment news by being a comedian who suddenly started being a right wing mouthpiece and any time he got called out on his shit it was “For entertainment purposes only” and he was on about the anti-left wing movements about coastal elites and unions taking workers wages.

But then the right wing even to then was building to massive corporations that donated to them, groups like the biggest anti-union propaganda machine in the world, WalMart. Notice that during the Reagan era they had “Trickle Down Economics” to fool people into thinking if the wealthy were just wealthier, then they too could be wealthier.

And the wars between groups have been speared on by the US since post civil war. Can’t have former slaves having jobs, that’d take from the whites. Can’t have people from overseas taking railroad jobs, that takes jobs from Americans. The big slaveowners of the American South were not the majority, so why did so many people fight for that confederacy? Because they were convinced by those wealthy that if slavery went away, there would go the economy… especially as so many people’s jobs were in existence to the slavery machine.

Joe Rogan wasn’t some new bogeyman who figured out how to overthrow the world. The rich has been finding ways to make poor people fight each other instead of them as a tale as old as time.

A southern term I grew up hearing and will use “I wouldn’t cross the street to piss on him if he was on fire.”

I 100% agree with this. But I can agree while saying this is illegal and must be stopped, he also 100% deserves it happening to him while it’s happening.

I’m not gonna stop on this, but I’m certainly going to point and laugh at Bolton.

Sad part is, any of his followers are cheering for this.

Hypocrisy to them is a virtue.

Had me going in the first half, not gonna lie.

I mean… He’s a Missouri AG. Both Senator positions from Missouri are filled with AGs who didn’t finish their terms being MAGAt mouthpieces, only so many ladders to climb.

Two years of free credit monitoring, which when you sign up for explicitly in the fine print gives permission for the credit monitoring service to sell your data.

He bankrupted a casino. That’s all you need to get.

The problem is the big hungry bears are looking at y’all trying to figure out how to divvy your area up, and only thing keeping the Trump one from just cozying completely up to the other is his inability to stick with a thought process for more than five minutes.

State line road. If I’m driving north I’m in Missouri. If I’m driving South, I’m in Kansas. (Kansas City, Missouri)

Oh I’ve done the compassion front right up until the last election. I talked just like this on “No, we need to meet halfway.”

After enough “I did it to own the libs” I’ve learned my lesson.

Where does that get you? Does writing them off instead of reaching out to them make the world better?

I’ll tell you where working with them, trying to understand them, trying to help them see how the different parties have direct affect on their lives has gotten me. I’ve got to have the ability to talk republican because I work in blue collar jobs, yet I’ve tried so very hard to show how it directly affects their lives and being compassionate.

It’s gotten me them proudly coming in and crowing they voted Republican, keeping to their sports teams, and the people who hate the republicans telling me “I just really don’t care about politics.”

So where does me writing them off get me? Finally understanding I CANNOT get to them, and my life has been a process of teaching a pig to sing. It wastes my time and annoys the pig.

Yet we have people that seems to defend these people like they’re not.

I don’t have a lot of hope of “winning people over”, it might come from living in a red state where people keep voting for the party that fucks them over, they get mad when they get fucked over, then they vote for the party that promises to take away the lube.

Only because of her son I’m not cackling madly. That truly, awfully sucks for her son, he’s an innocent who got the shit end of the stick and born to a shit person.

But any conservatives that voted for this or non-conservatives that stayed home instead of voting against it that needs medicaid to live and are terrified by this, understand I am full on Nelson laughing at you.

As in: WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?

They’re the ones that are supporting tyranny. The 2A shit was always a grift.
