Huh. I thought it was a fun cameo because of how badly he did, but in a fun way. Like, he butchered gambit.

But still, Channing Tatum is always fun to see, so fuck it.

And yet, the Overton window isn't wide enough to fight a tiny slice of window, which is "far right fascists"

You give the media and social media propaganda machines too little credit. Maybe they aren't directly tied to the official Trump campaign, but they're funded and executed by the same organizations.

And in the same breath, they'll say it's the Dems fault for supporting genocide.

"Or votes wouldn't have made a difference in the outcome, but Dems lost because they didn't do the thing that would have supposedly gotten our vote"

Yep.

No, the difference is the extent of which they will enable genocide. And I'm not just taking about Gaza.

It's a massive fucking difference.

I thought the Harris campaigns ads to encourage female voters in red counties was incredibly demeaning.

"What happens at the polls stays at the polls"

I'm male, but I cringed hard at those ads.

I wonder if the had good reception at focus groups or something. Maybe it really did play well, I don't know. But it made it seems like women were too weak to own their opinions or vote.

Trump wanted to deport Haitans to Mexico. You're not getting a free ride to Ireland. Hope you like tequila.

For me, it was the days and weeks after Jan 6th, when it became clear that outright insurrection, a violent coup, was not going to spark a course correct.

The republican party should have shattered. The non-fascists should have woken up, and fought with MAGA, and years later, a viable political party rise from the ashes.

But that didn't happen. A few conscientious dissenters fell on their swords, most at retirement age anyway. Fascism took over completely. And the American people ate it up.

Weeks after Jan 6th, it was clear that consequences were not coming. They took their mask off, and no one cared, or couldn't stop them.

And here we are. Convicted felon with absolute power on his way to the Whitehouse, who owns the SCOTUS, Senate, and likely the House.

Trump will have unchecked power to do whatever he damn well pleases.

Way to fucking go, America. I fucking hate my countrymen.

Possibly benefit from some brain drain too

Don't worry, he'll live comfortably with himself because all the bad things MAGA will do in the next 4 years and beyond will be the Dems fault. No self reflection or personal accountability will occur.

Eh. This was one of the chief concerns for those of us that resisted Biden stepping down that late in the race. No time for a primary, so Harris had to be the candidate. I was pleasantly surprised at the great reception she enjoyed for the first month, but the hype obviously didn't reach far beyond the solidly blue base.

Roughly 1/3 of the voting age population.

About 1/3rd of the voting age population do not vote.

We're outnumbered 2:1
