I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

I think the joke is the GOP majority is so narrow that MTG switching parties would end it

There are a few states that apportion votes according to electoral districts instead of winner takes all

You seem like you were too ignorant to even know Bill Cassidy is a Republican and can't admit it so you keep doubling down on your stupidity and putting words in people's mouths that aren't there

What? Asking who you mean by "their" in the sentence "their entire response under Trump" isn't correcting your grammar, it's literally asking WTF you even mean

What is the antecedent of "their" in your last sentence?

No Democrat voted for RFK Jr, not sure what you are talking about

What do Democratic voters have to do with it?

I swear his last post-game photos with her, it looks like he's using a body double

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

The "What's the Frequency Kenneth" video clip was a banger though

Asheville is a blue city and was hit harder by Helene than almost anywhere else

“I’ll stop drinking if you let me run the Pentagon” is maybe the most alcoholic thing anyone has ever said

"That child" is Trump's pick for surgeon general

If we could afford it we'd absolutely get a Trex deck again.

The "not religious Christmas" stuff is basically all the Christmas stuff they did at Auschwitz

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish.

Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part.

Who’s with me?

One thing I think people talking about the threat of authoritarian creep have gotten, if not exactly wrong, not quite right either is to frame discussion in terms of various European precedents.

Those are relevant to be sure, but we also have an American precedent - namely the South before 1965.

Is there a dead person who would be worse?

Don't do it
