Well, a problem. Because I don’t see the world in black and white and believe there is just one problem, unlike some idiots.

13·20 hours agoI agree there must have been a sizable chunk of voters who were unaware that Trump posed a threat to democracy itself, but I assume those people are just generally relatively uninformed. The way I knew he was a threat to democracy was through consuming mainstream media (and some podcasts).
By 2024 Trump had been on the political scene for almost a decade. This was post Jan 6. There was no excuse for putting him back in power. The voters sanewashed him to themselves. People are very adaptable. We are the same species who owned slaves, walked on the moon, tore out peoples hearts at the tops of pyramids, sit in boxes for 8 hours a day, and hunted giant fuzzy elephants to extinction by hand - and all of it is “normal.”
Even today, 37% of Americans think Trump is great!

136·21 hours agoWhat % of NYT readers voted for Trump? It has to be minuscule.
The election was so close, there are dozens of but-for causes that could have tipped the scale, but the NYT not being sufficiently alarmist about Trump (which is what that CNN article you linked claims - not that the paper was a proponent of Trump, as you say) probably wasn’t one of them.
Don’t change tenses in the middle of a sentence.
Now I don’t want to live a little just to spite him.
I forgot about her! A perfect example of the typical go-getter attitude of our fine American astronauts.
Yes, but they aren’t living in their parents’ attic collecting astronomy photos as an adult.
Not me. Those are the two groups MLK is referencing in that quote.

0·2 days agoTrump uses his grace as a tool to shape others’ behavior. All that matters is the last thing you said about him. His vice president once called him “America’s Hitler.”

Wake up, number thirty seven.









That’s a cool story, and a well done tattoo, but… We all know that dog really has no clue what that lady did wrong. He’s just a bitey boy.
