The one benefit of Vance replacing Trump is that he doesn’t have a cult like Trump does.

Not in my head.

Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed.

That word is “Nazi.” Nobody cares about their motives anymore.

They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding?

If you know you’re about to get replaced by RFK I’m a few months, how do you even get up in the morning, much less try to do your job?

I’m sorry but I just don’t buy that. They don’t have time to talk to anyone who’s actually paying attention? They can’t take ten minutes over the course of several months (for Harris) or years (for Trump) to listen to the candidates speak and see which one can speak in coherent sentences?

No, they’re just too stubborn to listen to anyone who tells them anything other than what they want to hear. Or too racist to vote for a Black person, too sexist to vote for a woman, too brainwashed to ever vote for a Democrat, etc.

We got mad because he was obviously lying.

There is no such thing as a factually wrong feeling.

So if I feel that 2+2=5, or the earth is flat, I’m not factually wrong?

They can’t actually change the rules because it’s a Constitutional amendment, but they can certainly ignore the rules. Who’s gonna stop them, the Supreme Court?

So you’re saying MAGA won’t be able to access porn?

Strange comparison. The war on drugs wrecked so many lives, and hasn’t really ended, just cooled off a little. I don’t see that as a cause for optimism.

Calling out hypocrisy isn’t puritanical.

He also has no reason not to appease them, and he’s known for being willing to sign anything that’s put in front of him.

It started a lot longer ago than that, with the likes of Fox “News” and Rush Limbaugh. It’s been getting worse the whole time.

More like a quarter.

We won’t.

By blocking any kind is aid to then. In other words, killing them.

As if Republicans won’t eliminate the filibuster. They have no use for it because they don’t plan on being in the minority ever again.

Gaza was the reservation. I’ll be very surprised if Israel doesn’t kill them all.
