He could rape a woman in public, on video, and Trump voters, senators, and house representatives will howl at “fake news!” and instate him as Secretary of Defense anyway.
Can the media stop pretending things are normal anymore or that corruption means anything at all? It doesn’t, it’s all a joke now.
This is America, the buck starts here.

It’s like the fact that some prominent atheists were involved at the beginning of gamergate kind of got memory-holed in the upswing of right-wing Christian theocracy.
Personally it’s been wild to witness the atheist-to-Christian pipeline through gamergate and the “facts don’t care about your feelings” crowd.
What’s even wilder is that Sam Harris somehow ended up somewhat less shitty than he initially appeared, because I fully expected a hard-right turn from him at some point.
Okay, it’s more like the people who all refused to leave Xitter until recently. It took something very like the original Twitter (Bluesky) for them to finally get the mental gumption to make the switch. Prior to that, mental inertia kept them in place.

A super accurate typo.
There’s a big difference between “all kids are terrible today” and “some people have very successfully dismantled the education system, and it’s impacting our youth to a point where we can’t trust their levels of education can protect them against capitalism run amok.”
To be clearer: failure to educate is squarely on adults not on children.
Younger generations are using other platforms to gather information.
What’s not being talked about here is that young people don’t seem to give a damn if the information they research is accurate or not, it’s whether or not it’s peddled by their preferred streamer. Those “other platforms” are apparently Tiktok and Netflix, not exactly places known for speaking truth to power.
I’ve spent twenty years trying to believe that the children will be the saviors of the future, but I think maybe the conservatives actually succeeded in murdering education in it’s crib. I am now nearly fully on team “You know, maybe these kids actually are a bunch of dumb fucks who won’t save us after all.”
To the shock of absolutely no one who has been paying attention.

Truth Social is actually a Mastodon server in disguise, and they were forced to admit it. Look up how to build a bot for Mastodon, and you’ve learned how to make a Truth Social bot.

I will never understand not caring about being wanted, desired, or loved.
The most special feeling in life was knowing someone loved me deeply for being kind and loving. The biggest loss in life was losing that. I miss her every day, it’s such a rare kind of love.
You mean the guy who violently raped his wife because she suggested a doctor for a hair transplant and it went bad so Trump blamed her? That she then used as part of her reason for divorcing him, and he never forgave her for that? Oh and then she mysteriously died while he was President and unceremoniously buried on his golf course?
It’s a shock to me that you would put together that this guy wants to control women. /s
Yes, whatever bad things you can imagine, they’re aiming for.
It’s hard to tell whether or not they truly don’t understand, or they do, and they’re just saying shit to rile up their base.
Not sure how much it matters either way, though. Consciously or not, it’s still the spread of misinformation.
Nailed it.
Republicans hate it when Democrats use the same tactics they do.
But this is what they wanted. They wanted to fight dirty, well, they’ve got it. They wanted a government that played favorites and picked winners and losers.
Kiss reasonable democracy that doesn’t play favorites goodbye, this is what you asked for, Republicans.
It always boils down to “rules for thee, not for me.”
Somehow I think thousands of employees could literally strongarm the individuals pushing corruption and holding them back.
Like, when did we forget that there’s power in numbers?
So because your boss says some dumb fucking thing, but a thousand people on your team disagree with it and think it’s idiotic… but y’all are gonna buckle down and do whatever dumb shit your boss said anyway?
Because he can fire every single one of you and replace you overnight? In a specialized government job? As if.
This could be solved overnight if ANYONE in the DOJ had some fucking balls.
“But this one guy at the top whose only power is the name of the position and in reality he’s just some schlub in a suit like the rest of us but he’s promoting some really damaging ideas for our institution as a whole… Maybe if we care about our institution we should kick his ass to the curb.”
No, Americans are fucking cowed and more than willing to just roll over and do whatever some schlub with no real power other than being their boss tells them.
That’s why we’re sleepwalking into fascism. Because everyone in a position to stop it is a giant fucking pussy who accepts zero risk to their own personal lives to keep fascism at bay. They’re far more worried about themselves than they are about the future of the country as a whole.
Young people aren’t watching CNN and MSNBC.
Hell, even millennials aren’t watching them.
Harris threw in her lot with a dying media format while not hitting the YouTube/podcast circuit hard.
I’m not saying she needed to go on Rogan, fuck Rogan. I’m saying the numbers bear out that not that many people are watching traditional media outlets in traditional ways.
Here’s an article crowing about 6 million viewers on election night. How do you think MSNBC fares on a non-election night? It’s a joke.
The same article admits that the MSNBC live YouTube channel of their election coverage had about 30 million viewers, which is, let’s just say quite a few more, and yet those numbers still pale in comparison to massive YouTube channels like MrBeast (slight retch) which clocks in at 330 million subscriptions.
The reality is that the YouTube and podcast sphere of influence absolutely fucking dwarfs traditional cable television networks and over-the-air networks.
And despite that, even if she had hit the YouTube and podcast circuit, I’m not sure how much it would have moved the needle because I think the real issue is that Republicans succeeded with No Child Left Behind actually gutting our education system. I don’t think talking policy works with people who read and speak at less than a sixth grade reading level, which at this point is a significant portion of the country. Trump spoke in word salad, but he never used big words that made them feel dumb. In fact, I’d wager the arguments that came from the right that Kamala spoke in a word salad are entirely related to the fact that they didn’t understand half the words she said, so to them, that’s a “word salad” of words they don’t understand.
People in the media need to stop feigning fucking shock over this shit.
If you’re still shocked you’re complicit because these assholes have been telling you very clearly who they are and what they plan to do for over ten years now.
How do you expect us to take you seriously as arbiters of the truth when you’re fucking constantly shocked stupid by the reality that’s been staring you in the face for a decade. At a certain point, it beggars belief that you’re somehow still shocked that shitty people who promised to be shitty people are indeed shitty people doing the shitty things they promised to do.
If you’re truly, genuinely shocked at this point, you’re an idiot.
Just put this gif on repeat until Trump dies.
Who says they’re not going to talk about it? They’re just going to stop doing community driven get-out-the-vote campaigns. This article is literally about how black women are a major block in the Democratic party that handles that kind of community organizing in getting people registered to vote and getting them all the info they need to vote. How’s stepping back from that “not talking about it?”
This article is literally about how they help others get their voices heard, but it’s black women who “aren’t talking about it?” Please.
This sounds like a Porn Parody of Search for Spock (on a Cock).
