Spend some time watching the MAGA media ecosystem

I have. I have family, some of whom I lived with during some of the MAGA years.

He’s no less pathetic there.

At some point, you have to accept that people legitimately love the bullshit spewing out of his mouth. The people who go to his rallies and watch him live, no intermediaries, fall over themselves with adoration.

“W-when I specifically asked you not to…?”

Trump is incredibly weak. It blows my mind that anyone looks at that slug and sees anything other than a despicable, pathetic cretin.

And still supporting him now, no doubt.

“We haven’t seen anything like this” says demographic hit hard by something like this by the same exact fuckwit a few years ago.

That’s one hell of a fucking take.

Fucking Christ. This timeline gets stupider and stupider.

Just a joke about the Trump administration being immensely compromised by Russian intelligence, not thinking of any person in particular.

Shares a name with the codename of a Russian asset, that’s all, innocent stuff.

“Because the cruelty is the point”?

Aw, is Roberts furrowing his brows really intensely?

lmao, no, not even, he’s looking ashamed and doing less than the bare minimum, just like at the impeachment proceedings.

But I think I liked it better when they did an empty gesture in support of gay rights rather than against them

Just one of those things. Means nothing about the companies themselves, but means everything about where society in general is at.

Good. The US can no longer be trusted to supply equipment to NATO countries.

Spineless fucks. Predictable, unfortunately.

It’s already very cheap and outdated, and honestly, I’m not very technically proficient to begin with. Already almost junked it trying to fix it once, lmao.

Well, I don’t really have the money to buy much of anything these days. But any dreams of getting a new e-bike in the near future are dashed, that’s for damn sure. This broken heap with a quarter-battery charge will have to last me a few more years.

As an American, I never had much of an attachment to ‘buying American’. I understood comparative advantage and the benefits it brings to all parties involved. I had neither favoritism for nor against American-made goods or American companies.

I’m now dedicated to buying non-American goods wherever possible, and buying as little as possible in general (though that’s not much of a change).

Not really. We chose this.

The American people are, on average, fascist dipshits.

Is “Moderate” code for more to the right now?

“Moderate” means “closer to the other party” in US politics.

And the other party in this case is… well…

These words are meaningless. In many countries, to become more liberal is the same thing as becoming more moderate. It’s confusing to me because liberal and moderate mean one thing in the US and something else in the rest of the world. And I live in the US! After all these years, I still don’t quite understand what people mean by liberal, moderate, and conservative.

In casual US discourse, liberal is left. In context, more moderate means becoming more right-wing.

As I keep telling people on here

The country is not that fucking left

I wish it was. God, I wish it was. But it’s not.

Denying reality is not helpful.
