So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out
in general, & across the world, the political gender divide really opens up around 2016
wonder if something happened then?
In general the Donald Trump political experience has been an absurd and ridiculous endeavor and demonstrates more than anything how powerful white racial solidarity is in the United States.
The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.
It's a cause of constant anguish that people won't just agree with me, the person with the most convincing perspective on everything 😔
Can I say something without everyone getting mad?
As conspiracy theories become mainstream political discourse, I feel like my position: "Yes, the shooting was real, but Trump lied about being hit for clout" makes me sound like I have some kind of agenda.

It's incredible how virulently people will fight to keep games from becoming art.
This is why any liberal platform that doesn’t include a vibrant safety net (health, housing, food, education) funded by confiscatory top marginal rates on income, capital gains, and corporate profits, should be a non-starter.

And we'll get a bunch of new American religions out of it.
New Epstein-linked revelations show how neo-Nazi operative Andrew Auernheimer aka “Weev” became a crucial link between Peter Thiel and the online far-right subcultures waging “memetic warfare” against their enemies.

Oh you are SO in luck...
Hungary's prime minister elect announcing that Orbán was funding CPAC and other Trump-related political activities (also Heritage Foundation's Project 2025), and this will now end.
he showed up to a mostly empty auditorium, got heckled by anti war protesters opposing the war he just humiliatingly failed to negotiate an end to, erika kirk stood him up, and he tried to explain catholicism to the pope. the only way he could’ve had a worse time is if he pissed his pants up there.
Amazing
The thing where voters don't believe republican policies could be as evil as they are apparently extends to the republicans actually in charge of the government just mindlessly implementing them
I think another reason many Americans Feel Bad About the Economy:
There is a constant barrage of information indicating to the casual observer that people who run scams and lie and refuse to play by the rules aren't just going unpunished, they're *making way more money than you are* as a result.
this really is a significant blow to the global far right. Hungary under Orban was more than a financier and place to host events: it was a proof of concept

At the current rate, the entire House of Representatives will have resigned by November 17.
Peter Magyar confirmed that Szijjarto, Orbán's FM, has barricaded himself with some of his closest colleagues and is shredding documents related to the sanctions on Russia any other evidence of treason.
A lot of Orbán's American fans are saying that this election proved he was never an authoritarian in the first place.
This is completely wrong — and, in fact, betrays a complete misunderstanding of both Hungarian politics and modern authoritarianism.
Here's why.
Less than a week ago, there were several prominent voices on here saying that they were sure Orbán was going to cancel Hungary's election. And casting that as a preview of coming horrors here in the States.
Well, Hungary had its vote, Orbán lost in a landslide, and he's conceded.
The future is possible.
ORBÁN CONCEDED
So, uh, I think Vance may not be the great white hope the Republicans were banking on.
