It’s a dangerous game. People are going to have to get comfortable with in person conversations again.

Huh. Never upvoted a deleted comment due to user name before…


17.7 billion rounds were manufactured in 2024 alone


Congrats on waking up from your coma


Critics stunned, devotees enthralled.


In college I was a 9/11 conspiracy believer. Thought the implications of Loose Change were all true. Explosive charges put in the building beforehand, etc. Even wrote articles about it in the school paper.
I also took a philosophy course on critical thinking.
Not long after, I saw the cracks in the theories and now know better.
I made mistakes and had regret and now I’m a lot older and wiser.
So I know intimately what it’s like to get sucked into a belief emotionally as opposed to factually.
I say that so I can wholeheartedly say to you, fuck that. MAGA is utter poison. The literal worst that humanity has on offer. The only MAGA I’ll tolerate in my life is a MAGA that spends the rest of their lives dedicated to allyship for gay/trans people, fighting climate change, and so on. That’s for even a chance at redemption.
Honestly…fuck anyone who can see how things have gone in the last 10 years and think it’s the fucking left that must be tolerant.
Fuuuuuuuck that.


Nope. Anyone dumb enough to fall for MAGA’s blatant, obvious lies and immorality deserves their consequences, full stop. That ship sailed a long, long time ago.
None of this “can’t we all just get along” horseshit. Fuck that. MAGA can and should be shamed back into the shadows where they belong.


“He would never do that to me” playing over and over again in his feeble brain.


Congrats, you just figured out why conservatives suck.


That’s a lot of presumptions to build an argument.
I don’t think you’re wrong about the complacency, but if I’m not mistaken we’re not talking about the fact no one is engaging with the political process. We’re talking about the political process being either a facade or just irrelevant.
If the election is free and fair:
Republicans win overall = MAGA in control Democrats win overall = MAGA claims fraud, ignores results
If the election is screwed with, which obviously it is:
Republicans win overall = MAGA in control Democrats win overall = lol
Please, suggest what you think would happen if a Democrat landslide occurs in November? MAGA just accepts democracy and moves on? Lol.


I would argue it’s not just that. They also weren’t ready.
The purging of the top brass continued, and continues (today being a particularly good day to note that)
The whole premise of the last two years was preparing for this November.
Don’t bother trying to convince anyone now. Just try to be austere and get ready as best you can, reasonably, and ignore everyone calling people doomers or whatever. I watched that happen for 18 years on climate change and finally understood that the vast majority of people are in fact lemmings whether they like it or not, and will happily walk off the cliff that is pretty obviously in front of us if you’re paying attention.


Uh huh. Any more false dichotomies for me?


Ahhhh you’re one of those “the midterms are coming to save us” people.
All I want for Christmas is a brain complacent and ignorant enough to feel that way. Even just for a few days.


Sorry, we have to go through a domestic insurgency there first before things will get bad enough to leave


But suggesting this is how we should share information because it’s how broadcast television worked before the internet
Did I? I don’t think so.


I mean that’s literally how television shows showing similar format content worked back in the before times… Introduction, footage, commentary.
Now this lady didn’t add all that much, but it’s a stretch to make this seem like an “influencer” thing…more a product of her time.
Whippersnapper.


Oh he got the white glove treatment cause of his views. Damn.
Just more evidence of the malice behind the way regular people are treated.


They don’t necessarily seek it, Capitalism rewards ruthless behavior.
CEOs cannot generally become CEOs without having to leave their empathy at the door. Guess who can’t feel empathy to begin with? Eureka.
STOP PRETENDING THE OUTCOME IS NOT COMPLETELY PREDICTABLE
If he wins legitimately, you’re fucked.
If he wins by cheating, you’re fucked.
If he doesn’t win, it was rigged, stall everything in the courts, until such time that they can take the mask off completely and by then it’s too late. You’re fucked.
