Maybe. Republicans usually toe the line. DEMs individually fight about what the line is all the time, it’s a defining characteristic. Not so much with repubs. So, maybe.

I’m still hearing about Tulsi from two people. Insert eyeroll here.

It’s more than theocracy, yes, but fuck theocracy, it’s a significant piece of the long game on this.

Between anime and all the prior airbrushing of actual models is it any surprise that the AI is confused?

Not just that, but animations like Cowboy Bebop fight scenes.

Damn.

Downvotes are probably the people still livid that Tulsi failed, and who want a third party to break into this hopelessly entrenched duopoly of an election system.

Fair enough, but thinking you can fix it by yourself isn’t going to fix it, just help Trump win.

This is a lot of reading for so early in the morning. I’ll wait for the Jon Oliver expose on her. His RFK episode didn’t disappoint.

That’s always the lame cover up.

The story lasts longer. And there’s no commercials. Why not?

I say that as an old person.

Or broken belief. You ever meet someone born again who snaps out of it? They present as both betrayed and really angry.

Let’s see what they shake out of this strange man in the next couple days.

This is probably a byproduct of this nationalism thing, fomented by Trump himself.

This guys media is pretty ick, but it’s worth noting that he presents most closely as Libertarian, and wears flags. And his hair is blue and white in conjunction with a red face.

I think these people shooting at him are a byproduct of what trump stirred up and encouraged in 2016. You don’t just get one thing. It’s not a homogenous mix of people, it’s a large mob of folks. You also get the Jan 6 crowd. You also get this guy. And other guys like him, wherever they are right now.

It’s people being people. They are multi faceted. The crowd he awakened in 2016 isn’t just one type of person. It’s everything from “yay, community” in a rather g rated wave a flag sense to Jan 6 people, including the shaman, to this guy and the kid who shot before him. We don’t know, he and the shaman may have had a beer together at one point. Even if they didn’t, it’s plausible, and that’s my point. Same crowd, different facets.

And the kid who was shot by secret service? Wasn’t he pissed about Trumps association with Epstein and the rape charges? Again. That’s people being people. It’s not right or good, but it’s human motive. Believe hard enough in someone then when these guys feel that belief is betrayed, then what?

.

What happens between these guys and Trump when their belief in him shatters?

This is some serious shit. Feels like we may be starting on the momentum of a spiral. Which is terrifying.

Take your upvote.

It’s a white thing. Nothing is a monolith, mileage always varies, but look at what, middle of the bell curve, look at what our culture does. Take a close, hard look at nursing homes. Many cultures don’t have them. We do. Why? Because each generation tends to have a “I have my own life to live” attitude.

Get out of the house. No, really. What the fuck is wrong with you? Why are you still living at home? Are you deficient? Lazy? A mooch? Do you lack adulting capacity? What is wrong with you? Why are you 20(+) and still living at home? 30 and still at home? You probably don’t qualify as human any more.

This attitude from the very people who then end up abandoned in a nursing home by these kids they pushed out, later. Some, loudly lamenting how their kids abandoned them there, never come to visit, and are now living in their house.

Multigenerational is moving in, yes, but it’s not where things started, for sure. Some white parents even charge rent at 18.

Mileage varies. My white family did none of this. My mom is in a mother in law apartment on my property. Her parents lived with us. I lived with her during college. And so on.

But there’s a prevailing get out of the house as soon as high scho graduation hits, and an “I have my own life to live” attitude.

Which O? Oil or Olive, because olives are to die for. Possibly in a war. Just sayin’.

How does Kamala feel about olives?

I’m in the medical industry.

I’m trying to use non-industry language with a not terrible article to help you understand. But you seem to want to be pedantic regarding some kind of investment in Trump’s words on late term and possibly even post birth “abortion” being a thing when it certainly is not.

I’ve attempted to educate. You’ve attempted to subvert that and go full bore pedantic. And now I need to go to work.

How is disrupting a hospital even relevant? So everyone having babies, heart attacks, strokes, perforated bowels from diverticulitis, kids and adults needing appendix removal, car accident victims (like that school bus), and so much more can’t get care or receive delayed care?

How does that help anything?

What exactly is “woman-made destruction”? Trump’s mom giving birth to him?

Isn’t that the Project 2025 plan? The bloodless coup thing?

Refuse to certify. Kick it to the house where Mike also refuses to certify. And if too many DEMs win for a flip refuse to certify them. Kick it to the states where each Governor gets one vote. Right now, that’s a Trump win.

Constitutional. Happened once in American history.

That’s going to catch some people, especially older ones.

Here’s a fairly accessible article on D&C. It even puts it into Roe context.
