  • You can lay blame at the feet of almost every single president since Wilson. We've never really been great, but Wilson was a real piece of work. It's wild that he's treated as some kind of progressive hero. It's really been a long, slow death by a thousand cuts.

  • Well, I'd agree and disagree, but you can pretty much point at the last 100 years and draw a lot of parallels between the fall of our republic and the fall of their republic. Emphasis on the collapse of representative democracy into naked empire.

  • I imagine so, just much of it likely didn't get recorded since hard drives were much smaller back then.

  • Republicans slide "nonprofit killer" law into tax bill

    Jump

  • Yeah, that doesn't surprise me. I was honestly shocked that Booker did that filibuster at all, but I guess they just really needed to get out there and do a kickflip for the camera.

  • Republican Tax Bill: 10 Ways It Helps the Rich and Hurts the Poor

  • That's because they ARE trying to destroy the US. We can get into the political-social-economic theory driving it, but the tl;Dr is that thanks to Reaganism and the post-USSR embrace of Friedmanist economics, the US has functionally ceded its governing capacity to the wealthiest few citizens. It's done so slowly and steadily enough that nobody really noticed, but we're now at an inflection point where the wealthy are ready to try Feudalism 2: we swear it'll be better this time because we're the ones doing it.

    This is literally, unironically, and without exaggeration what is happening.

  • The biggest irony of MAGA is that they think that Donald is the class traitor here.

  • Missouri lawmakers approve referendum to repeal abortion-rights amendment

    Jump

  • Yeah, that's what I think every time I hear of a state's population voting in a new amendment and the legislature immediately hatching scheme after scheme to overturn it. Absolutely wild stuff, and it happens way more often than I'm comfortable with.

  • Good thing the opposition party has decided to earn voters' trust by phoning it in.

  • I don't necessarily think he's bad at writing dialogue and story, I think he's mostly just bad at writing women. As I've gotten older, I went from taking Metal Gear Solid super seriously to treating it like nuclear/techno Evil Dead

  • I tried playing 2 again recently because I had the same thought, and I had to stop because my wife would not stop laughing at Rose's dialogue. God, I wish Kojima had ever met a woman.

  • Kennedy sidesteps vaccine questions: ‘I don’t think people should be taking medical advice from me’

    Jump

  • Exactly. That's like SecDef being like "idk, I'm really not in a position to give military advice". I say that fully aware of the irony, but it's hard to pick a non-busted example since Trump's cabinet is just completely full of "meritocracy".

  • Disagree. I think that the failures of Harris and Clinton have a lot more to do with campaign and messaging failures than they do with the fact that they're women. We're living a populist moment, and the democrats want to rise to that with "noooo lmao everything's fine, you're not actually struggling at the grocery store shut up lol. Nooo we can't offer a real policy platform to vote for, just vote against Nazis for the rest of your life and hope we never lose (we will, and we'll blame you)."

    They're GOING to fuck this up in 2028 if we even have elections, and they're not going to let anyone stop them from fucking it up, not even AOC or David Hogg. Right now, Gavin Newsom is leaning hard into giving himself a republican-lite glow-up so that he can run the Newsom/Pence ticket in 2028 and try to peel off a whole six moderate republicans. Their campaign platform will be:

    • Bulldoze the homeless (now with BIGGER dozers!)
    • shut up, don't worry about it, just keep voting against Nazis for the rest of your life and hope we never lose (we will, and we'll blame you)

  • Once was just the law of averages playing out. Twice was incompetence. Three times is sabotage. Somebody on the Truman might not be doing good work according to the Navy, but they're doing good work by humanity.
