Ignore everything you see about polling. Polls don’t win elections, but they can sway elections.

Vote. Vote. Vote.

Take your upvote and leave.

From the headline alone, I knew which party.

Another weird Republican snowflake. So many of them lately.

pedophilic

And yet, I don’t see any evidence of drag queen or gay involvement.

Whoever approved this is clearly very weird.

I think it is important to understand the nuance here. In many ways, the Republican party is now a victim of its own rhetoric.

They have convinced a sizeable portion of the base that Trump won the election, regardless of mountains of evidence to the contrary. That is no small feat for the propaganda machine.

The problem is, there are saner folks in the Republican party – we have seen many of them come out with very public endorsements of Harris, and that’s only the famous ones. The Republicans know they need to stop the bleeding.

But the dumber among their base see this as an ultimatum. Saying Trump lost is playing into what they think is a biased media narrative. Vance didn’t answer the question during the debate because to do so would have instantly alienated him from his own party base.

To retain anyone who isn’t a bozo and is actually trying to make an informed decision, it would be important for the party to distance themselves from the conspiratorial nonsense once and for all. For all intents and purposes, it is currently impossible for them to do that.

Thus it is good that we speak up with any evidence like this that Team Trump is the same old bunch of weird losers they always have been. Regardless of what concessions they try to make to woo the non-crazies, facts are facts, and alternative facts don’t exist.

None of this is surprising. It feels like we hear shit like this every single day, and yet half the country still feels like they want this clown back in office.

Propaganda is a helluva drug. Nancy Reagan would blush.

“Free speech” does not mean free from consequences. It seems to be very difficult for some people to understand this.

If you say something on social media which the company deems against TOS, they have every right to bump you. It is not a public forum, regardless of what misunderstanding people may have. It is the digital equivalent of a private company kicking you out of the store for yelling obscenities at customers.

Zero logic to Vance’s take. It’s as if they’re just claiming immigrants to be the root of all problems, because they have no real platform without someone to scapegoat.

Remember kids: these people aren’t out to help you. They’re out to get your vote so that they can make themselves and their buddies richer with both money and power. They will say anything if they think it will scare you into voting red.

The Heritage Foundation should fuck off, in my view. Full stop.

“Conservative think tank” is an oxymoron – and more so the more you think about it. This is a fascism factory.

SHOCKER: Trump probably wants everything redacted.

If I did something wrong, my gut instinct (modulo conscience) would be to erase it as much as possible.

Let’s stop wasting news cycles on this grifter.

Whoever is still going to these rallies is beyond help.

VOTE.

Related: I’m looking forward to the day when every single article about politicians does not contain “blast” or “slam” in the headline.

One can dream, right?

Says the emerald mine nepo-baby from Apartheidland.

Anything which does not overtly favor Trump will be labeled as biased.

This is item 1 in the Goebbels’ playbook.

Nah, this is due to their base’s support being absolutely unwavering. This is a level of propagandistic control never before seen in the United States. Joseph Goebbels would fucking blush.

Republicans can endorse Harris all day long and I’m here for it.

Manchin endorsing Harris would have actually done her a disservice.

And it is why we are starting to see so much more unrest regardless of what country you’re in.

Global communications are now such that it is impossible to hide a worldwide trend like this. It is also becoming easier to make direct comparisons between conditions country to country as a side effect of globalization.

The trend itself is not surprising, but it does highlight a need for action which is not limited to a single place.
