The Republicans always knew the Democrats would cave. Controlled opposition.

As many humans do, I think we tend to simplify complex situations. I see it here, where we treat heterogeneous groups of people as a monolith. Republicans think of the worst examples of Democrats as representative of the whole and vice versa, when there are truly a multitude of beliefs in each. Not all Republicans are evil racists.

Many are stupid racists, or simply stupid but not racist, racist but otherwise not stupid, or evil but indiscriminate. Some are even evil, racist, and stupid - see: Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump.

The Republican party is a melting pot of the worst the country has to offer. Don’t take that hard fought diversity away from them.

Depends. The classic dilemma of big, thin, and floppy or short, thick, and stiff.

I’d say it all started in the late 1960s with Nixon’s implementation of the southern strategy. What we’re seeing today is the resultant avalanche of American fascism, appropriately composed of fragile white snowflakes.

Wild NECKBEARD appeared!

Go! OBVIOUS JOKE!

Enemy NECKBEARD used PEDANTRY!

It’s not very effective …

OBVIOUS JOKE used HUMOR!

Enemy NECKBEARD fainted!

Did you know there’s actually more text than just the headline? Posts like these have links you can use so you can read the article. All it takes is one little tap or click and you too can have the faintest clue what the article is about before commenting on it!

If he was cremated, he’s black now.

Don’t tell the Americans or they’ll bomb the poor fossil.

It’s an opinion piece. It’s not uncommon for newspapers to run conflicting opinion pieces.

Ja, they label it as cellulose. Technically true and something that does have valid food manufacturing uses, but using it as filler is ridiculous.

Ass cancer is the price for freedum!

LOL I suspect you give less than zero fucks or this is a clever ploy for Jeffrey Crockett to receive some rather confusing correspondence. Love it either way.

My tuppence worth is Jeffrey or Jeff sounds warmer, softer, and friendlier while Neil sounds cooler (as in less warm), stronger, and classier. Jeff/rey is a fantastic golden retriever. Neil, from the Gaelic Niall, is the cat that sleeps atop your bookcase and occasionally descends to accept your food offerings.

Obvious troll is obvious.

According to Hakeem Jeffries, absolutely nothing.

DEFLECTED!!!

You can always choose to steal one. It’s not a good choice, but it’s a choice.

I think the mistake is assuming they actually hold all of those beliefs.

Have you even argued with someone whose standards constantly shift so they’re always in the right, even when they soon back a position they were criticizing you for earlier in that conversation? That’s because they’re frantically defending another belief, sometimes one they aren’t even aware of themselves, and are either oblivious or unscrupulous enough to not notice or care how they’re doing it.

Far-right movements like the US Republicans are made of the frauds, fascists, and con artists running the show, the low-level grifters and bigots who aspire to one day be them, and the idiots too stupid to see they’re being deceived and swindled.

In their defense, we all try hard to forget that iteration.

Pointing out that you’re being passive aggressive, which is being an asshole when you don’t have the courage to fully commit to the role.
