As bad as things are, it's cathartic to watch the old guard, bourbon sipping Republican party that originally weaponized misinformation to further the agenda of big corpo (faux news since they existed: "Herp derp climate change is a hoax for scientists to sell books") realize that though their long in motion coup worked, they lost control of it in 2015 when King confidence scheme scam artist stole their grift out from under them by saying the dogwhistles they used to string their racist base along out loud with a dumb little dance.

Its not helpful, but knowing Mitch McConnell and John Roberts know they sold out their entire society's future not even for their benefit or the benefit of the right small room of classy old money bigots, but for some crass asshole that's as belligerent and willfully ignorant as their sucker voting base to take the reigns of post democracy machiavelian power they so carefully curated since the 70s as they watch powerlessly, and IN FEAR no less?

Poetry.

Murkowski openly admitted that she and her Republican colleagues were “all afraid” of “retaliation” from Trump, as she criticized his policies.

Only one party is actively funded by our enemies

Incorrect, both parties take money from Wall Street. Only a tiny, tiny minority of the Democrats don't, and those spoiler Democrats are hated by the DNC far more than the DNC opposes their esteemed Republican opposition.

If you refuse to see the capitalist oligarchs are the enemy that created the conditions for Trump, then nevermind and carry on, as there's nothing that ever could convince you.

No, sadly. Soulless cash grab.

The Trump base will blame Obama/Biden/Clinton, I guarantee it.

It must be so freeing to live a life more divorced from logic or reality than an indoor dog.

Maybe eliminating natural selection was a mistake.

The one that started it all.

In 1999 Blockbuster video had a contest, giving away 1 full size episode 1 Yoda made by Industrial light and magic in every state. I didn't know about the contest until the last day, put in my entry, and he's been looking over my room, now office, ever since, keeping me contemplative ever since.

Either that or a trap used in Ghostbusters 2 that I had signed by Dan Aykroyd. But probably Yoda.

Yet another thing that is beyond our willfully ignorant American Republican's comprehension.

Adults cooperate with others who are open to mutually beneficial cooperation. Babies (and largely seniors past 70 as we become very similar to our sunrise at the sunset of life) kick and scream demanding to get their way the way they want it.

I'm a 40 year old manchild who collects movie props and even I know that.

They were right to be talking down on us and we have been trash since at least Reagan though.

Most European nations are societies. We're a bunch of deluded fools playing pretend we're rugged individuals at each other's throats for oligarch scraps.

We can't even agree as a society to feed or invest in educating our kids. We let millions of our worst off neighbors die of exposure out of economic tribalist spite. We're a loathsome country worthy of ridicule. Honestly if we weren't so good at marketing, the art of bullshit, we could have saved a lot of potential immigrants time, shown them who we really are, and they never would have crossed a desert to come here. This is a cesspool.

Stupid I could pity. Simply stupid people are society's wards.

These people are malicious, and vote for policies sold on the basis of cruelty for cruelty's sake to people who aren't them.

Their malice Trumps their stupidity, especially because most of these people don't suffer some cognitive deficit, but have been trained to be willfully ignorant with for profit media using cruelty as the training incentive. That's the stupidity you choose.

I'm anticapitalist and it's inevitable conclusion of fascism when the unrestrained capitalists finally gets their way.

X is literally owned by a fascist, basically the stupid Goebbels to Trump's stupid Hitler. And sadly, they represent the general malice of the US and our toxic hyper-individualism perfectly. Sounds like you just lump everything you think is bad together.

No world superpower isn't drenched in blood, but China actually seems to care about there being a future for their people and future generations beyond the next quarterly earnings call. Why wouldn't a humanist root for that over this dog eat dog rigged race to the bottom with no plan, actively eviscerating any future to goose the next rich fuck earnings call as our neighbors die of exposure under and ~~police~~ capital defense force brutality under a freeway in a box after the capitalists are done breaking us?

 
 

They aren't the primary villains, but they're sure as shit the bumbling secondary antagonists.

 

And no, the 6.134258 shares of Apple in your 401K don't make you an owner, lol.
