Fascism always manifests through surface level aesthetics. This will become more and more common and you'll find shamelessness and stolen valor are traits they'll all share uniformly eventually.

Trumps stated first step is to "drill drill drill" so please explain why this isn't an effort to dissuade from the better option?

It looks like maybe Clarence Thomas and Alito want to fast track their next big round of sugar daddy amenities.

This is a great self-explanatory lesson in how corporations can manufacture consent and how to spot it.

This is one of Biden's strongest leftist positions, you should probably look into it to avoid looking partisan. Not only did he help change the direction of the NLRB, he's spoken stronger than anyone in the know expected for Unions. Presidents don't ever take sides with workers as directly as he has.

There's plenty of bad positions of his but this ain't it.

Wait, the bill stops circumcisions?

There was a controversial and sexist bait letter someone at Google wrote before being let go and it was heavily propped up by right wing media as an example and justification that everything Google does from now on is left wing because they're cancelling this poor sexist man.

My first long term job's company instructed HR to print out the letter and give a strong endorsement of it for seemingly no reason. It basically just read to me as, "Women have strongsuits other than business success like emotions and raising children and their lack of pay is actually justified and good." that they wanted to come from our female head of HR as opposed to our do nothing remote from Florida male CEO. These rich people are no smarter than anyone else, they just use bigger words as they stick their foot down their own throat.

The funniest part of this story is how many Republicans flocked to view the videos and still can't shut up about it.

Maybe it'll bring him back online? Of course that would invalidate the running theory that Republicans are caused by brain damage. I feel horrible that Giselle was involved, she's been through hell and back with his ever-changing personality basically discounting her lived experience with immigration and now this....

That's blood in the water you don't want to encourage. These people will not learn, they are just a minority view that needs to be outvoted and reversed. Unfortunately the reason why they're able to act as if they're not a minority is largely because they receive very little meaningful criticism across media. The vulgarity of a statement receiving the same exact cycle of pearl clutching as the fascistic or authoritarian nature statements makes it all seem meaningless between the few good shows like Mehdi Hasan (and he's gone now...)

Greg Abbott was famously one of the dingleberries fooled by Russian propaganda about operation Jade Helm and instructed the Texas national guard to "watch over" the operation as if they matter at all in the considerations of a joint millitary nation-wide operation. In other words, their delusions are already most of the way there.

Which would make it a more extreme position than his position in this election, so the point stands.

Trans rights, abortion rights, separation of church and state, millitary posturing, the whole gambit. There's not a single policy that comes to mind that she's better than Biden on.

Learning from history isn't America's strong suit right now, but this is certainly the right point of view on it. At least there's a decent push to get silicon chip manufacturing back, but it sorta feels like herding cats when they're allowed to get concessions and then leave anyways.

Most minority Republican voters are either people attached to going against the grain as their whole personality or were raised white and compare themselves entirely to poorer people. I've also heard some talk about how they were never accepted by those they view as superior to them until they changed their politics to be against their own best interests which is the origin of a lot of grifters. America really needs more therapy.

Not really about Jews as much as it is about evangelicals wanting to use them to bring on the second coming. With evangelicals they uniformly side with Israeli fascists. This is also about the enormous lobbying power of AIPAC, which from any other nation than Israel would be considered a foreign-aligned agent lobbying firm subverting US elections.

While they (Israel and AIPAC) stand down against Democrats who tow their lines, they absolutely prefer hawkish Republicans to be in charge because they are more aligned to their regional power-grabs as evidenced by Trump's Israeli policy. I don't personally understand democrats who kneel for a group who doesn't prefer them at the end of the day no matter what they do, even support genocide in a few Democrats cases, but nobody has ever accused run of the mill Washington politicians of having shame.

Soo, trail of tears in Gaza?

You sound like John Fetterman lol

There's a lot of things that make it appear that way, but statistically they are the vocal minority opinion. Young people voting in the same percentage of old people would make this very clear, but that isn't likely or maybe even possible in states with highly restrictive voting avenues.

Won't bother implies that it's an easy thing to do, but this isn't true of many underprivileged people. Next election will only be worse as restricting people's waterbottle access and eliminating polling stations had just begun during the midterms and hadn't been tested on the biggest scale elections yet.
