Remember that he went off the rails on Truth Social about the 25th amendment basically ranting about the chain of command when the president is incapacitated. It seemed like a weird one but I remember reading it and my first thought was “He found out his people are gonna throw him out with a dementia diagnosis.”
To support this counterpoint, this is exactly the headline my moron coworker would click and MAYBE get corrected in his stance on fluoridated water
The super misogynist manosphere influencers Trump went on a big run of interviews with make the big difference here. So many highly toxic GenZ males because of shit bags like that and A LOT of young non-white men listen to those podcasts and watch those videos
I would note that she stopped separating from Biden when she got the Cheney endorsement and swung hard to the right. That’s where the campaign momentum died.
I’ve been joking since she won her primary that she’s going to lose because even the Dems in AZ are sexists who like veterans.
The race is narrower than I would’ve expected because Harris’s right-wing heelturn fucked the down ballot races. I genuinely believe that lowered turnout in big numbers
The only messaging problem was taking the momentum of the debate and shitting on it with the right-wing heelturn the moment the Cheneys said “never Trump”.
Even with them parading the Cheneys, I could understand a close loss after a week in the courts or just SOMETHING. Instead she lost so hard, she was conceding the next day. I kinda just gotta go what the fuck?
I got such a bad sinking feeling when they pivoted so hard right, but I genuinely thought Trump talking like a fucking lunatic might actually scare enough people into action and make it a close race.
Yep, non-voters were a much bigger problem for Harris
I usually just blame how autistic Lemmy is. Unironically, the amount of neurodivergent people here is huge and a common trait is focusing on the wrong fuckin details, especially with hypotheticals
Best I can do is tree-fiddy
I am, I’m still voting for the candidate I think I can help move on the issue instead of just letting the guy who will send the military against protestors win.
What should be and what is are almost never the same thing. We should keep pushing for what should be while facing the hard truths of what the reality actually is.
Or maybe they’re trying to describe the feeling it evokes and aren’t being that literal.
I swear Texas license plates are like warning signs for bad drivers
I’m from Arizona, I know this. I’m saying the mestizos who wouldn’t get pissed at being referred to as such are far less in number than you think. Most ID far more with the colonizers than the colonized
Same with a burger. Your lettuce should be dry (pat it with a paper towel if you must) and put it as the bottom layer. This creates a moisture barrier that stops your bread/bun from turning into a soggy mess.
On a sandwich, the cheese should be on the other side for the same reason. Keep all the wet stuff from turning your bread into slop.
Thank you for the correction! I always seem to misremember which Caliphate was when.
If Elon Musk wanted to use his company to be a dipshit and fling his car into space, why not?
The EPA and other regulators could control them better, but whatever ventures they choose to make are their own dumb choices. The only ways their dumb PR project intersects with anything NASA related is theyre both doing space things and NASA happens to give them contracts (which is how they’re able to afford to launch a car into space as a PR stunt).
This is the answer. People straight up just didn’t show up. Dems lost races they could’ve won because too many people just said fuck it after enough crap from this campaign. I’m in AZ, after the election I’m finding out quite a few people I know just didn’t go.
