Republicans were so preoccupied over whatever or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.

And they courted extreme elements to make it happen that now, after not stopping to think if they even should actually make the thing happen, they are incapable of separating themselves from these elements

'Pure democracy' is a misnomer intended to be a linchpin point when his comment inevitably draws criticism.

He can deflect and say "Well I'm talking about pure democracy, not our democratic/republic institution"

He's essentially laundering his intent behind a phrase that he can deflect with. His intent is pretty on point with modern MAGA/far right opinions. That democracy is untrustworthy (hence stolen/rigged elections) and that we should listen to our leaders.

Remember the movie "Groundhog Day?" Starring Bill Murray, it told the story of a newscaster who was stuck in a time loop, waking up to the same song in the same small town, destined to relive the same day over and over.
But while Murray's character would eventually escape his fate, Republicans seem content to voluntarily keep doing the same things over and over, believing that if they just grit their teeth enough, it'll finally be different next time.
Think back to the day after the 2022 election. The GOP was predicted by essentially everyone to have a red wave, but in the end, it was a red trickle. Garnering only a four-seat majority in the House and actually losing ground in the Senate, it was one of the largest underperformances in recent memory when considering the timing and fundamentals at play.
The morning after, I penned a piece entitled "I'm Sick of Losing, I Hope You Are Too." In it, I detailed the stagnant nature of the GOP, including the fact that there's no accountability for the party's leadership. Contrary to my hopes of an enduring wake-up call, though, nothing really changed.
In January of 2023, the incumbent chair easily won re-election to head the RNC, marking her fourth ascent to the position. A few months after that, Donald Trump was indicted in New York, an event that returned most GOP primary voters to their respective corners. All the post-2022 talk about accountability and having a rigorous debate completely evaporated, only to be replaced by memes and an obsession with one 2024 candidate's footwear.
What did that get us? It got us another losing election on Tuesday.
Aside from some state-level contests in Virginia, where Republicans fell short in gaining control of the legislature (it was always a long shot in a blue state) but did largely improve on 2020 margins, it was another disappointing night for the GOP. Republicans lost key races in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey while coming dangerously close to losing the governorship in Mississipi.
The most high-profile loss occurred in Kentucky, though, where Democrat Andy Beshear easily bested Republican Daniel Cameron. Just days prior, Republicans had touted a poll from Emerson showing the race tied. I was less than convinced, delivering this warning instead.

There's more in the article but I don't care to fight highlighter that wants to highlight the entire page.

The GOP spent nearly 50 fucking years tying themselves to the boogeyman of Roe, fundraising using it as the backdrop.

So they finally get their wish and instead of having a plan of how to smartly, succinctly attack abortion access, they just go all in on whole hearted bans, which rallied and galvanized women into voting. As well as, when states left it to the will of the voters to enshrined abortion bans into law, they tried to trick the average voter with confusing language. And when the voters said "No, we want (some) access", they turned around and tried to overturn the will of the voters.

And then galaxy brains like this wonder why Republicans aren't tired of losing yet.

It's because every time they win, they do everything in their power to prolapse their entire anus to the country

Less than they're probably spending fighting them.

Combine that with the Streisand effect and they're actively slitting their own wrists in an effort to stop a paper cut from bleeding.

Fucking fascist fuck face.

Unless I retire with 25 years in (so I can get 50%) and at least 80% disability from the Army and VA, I won't be able to afford to live anywhere but where I grew up, and that'd be because rent is free.

And by the time the next 15 years is past, who fucking knows how expensive it'll be to live

Nah.

Ill-gotten means aside, taking money from the mob and it being a misunderstanding is just asking for being indebted to the mob, and that's the best case scenario. You'd have to make baller money off that money to pay them back if they ever found out you 'stiffed' them and that's providing they don't just kill you for taking their money.

Now if they kind of knew it was a pure accident but were willing to pay you hush money and take the blame within their circles, that might be worth $80K but you also gotta be on your toes cause any disaffected family of the deceased or friends of the family may gun for you.

You would think that one day these companies would learn that if you're going to buy or invest into a (niche) internet channel/website/business, that you have to let them keep doing what works

because we've seen literally countless times that if you go in making changes, it fails.

All these companies invest into literal houses built out of cards and go in with a fucking sledgehammer and then wonder why things fall down

This is a weird thread. Isn't Taylor Swift a liberal who campaigns for Dems and LGBT rights. If Taylor was trans I don't think Taylor would hide it.

Where these images and (actual) concerns come from, there is no rationale or logic that makes sense.

It's about endlessly being outraged and/or overly concerned about what is everyone/every celebrity's pants

BurmesePenguin posted...

Tbh I don't think this is a reasonable comparison.

Yeah, this.

I can see how someone could come to that conclusion, but I also think it's puffing up for the sake of it.

People really are concerned about whats in someones pants too much.

"But if she has a penis then I can't fantasize about her because that would be a challenge to my fragile sexuality!"

KitKats posted...

The person who made the topic should have said that then instead of presenting it as something real

Also, the title of this topic is transphobic.

The calling her a man part or the lump part?

Also with me calling out their obsession with seeing dongs everywhere, I thought it was obvious the title was hyperbolic (the caps lock, excessive interrobangs and question marks being additional evidence)

That'd be more likely and almost more shocking (to the general populace) than the conspiracy theory (is to the believers) lol

People don't understand anatomy

These people have never seen bare female genitalia in their life.

Even if they got laid somehow, they insisted on doing it in the dark, under the covers and probably let their partner guide them in

I do question the motives behind making this topic at all...

Being extremely hyperbolic in an effort to point and laugh at people who think Hollywood is full of transgender people (who the people who push this narrative believe are all adrenochrome harvesting child predators)

Thats why Tuberville is doing his damnedest to prevent all the military promotions. So if Trump gets back in, he can trash all the nominations and replace them with people who will be loyal to him and him alone.

Good luck.

We're sworn to the Constitution, not Trump.

That's why he wants to go after retired GEN Milley.

Also raises questions about Tuberville's hold on military promotions. A Senate-confirmed Flag Officer owes their position to the Constitution, not any individual. An officer in an acting role, not so much. (Officers in acting positions don't have the full authority of Senate-confirmed ones though.)

All officers owe their allegiance to the Constitution.

We're not beholden to the man.

For officers in the Army, this is their oath:

"I, _____ (SSAN), having been appointed an officer in the Army of the United States, as indicated above in the grade of _____ do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; So help me God."

The enlisted oath is similar, but we oblige ourselves to obey the (legal, moral, ethical) orders of the President and of the officers appointed above us.

Progressive media has been talking about Project 2025 where as corporate media has largely remained silent wonder why

Unless you follow politics, if you heard this in the news you'd think they were being hyperbolic at best and outright insane at worst and distrust wherever you heard it from.

It's that extreme and insane.

brestugo posted...

The details of this "Project 2025" are pretty frightening. People should know more about it and it should be talked about much more.

After bitching about a "deep state" for years, they basically want to create an actual deep state, with Trump as an elected dictator.
