All I get from this is that right-wingers are more likely to be so stupid that they rely on somebody else to tell them what to think.

They share his desire to destroy the country.

Professional politicians are looking forward to the day when they can come out from under the shadow of dark money and influence peddling and financial reports and openly live as lords of the corporate/kleptocratic new world order.

The Network State is just feudalism updated to accommodate a new set of vile and toxic elitist shitheads.

I've long assumed that many (most?) of the tankies, and of hexbear's userbase in general, are teens.

So seriously - at what point do we collectively face the fact that the PotUS is a raving lunatic?

Tankies and MAGAs share being angry cowards and simps for authoritarians - they just differ a bit here and there on exactly who it is that they want to see oppressed.

I have zero doubt that a large part of the reason that Trump appointed Musk in the first place was so that he could later throw him under the bus.

So... the legal concept of free speech does not apply to private businesses but does apply to branches of the government, so Gym Jordan is actually violating the way in which it does apply in order to try to force it to apply in a way in which it does not.

It's as if there's some sort of contest between Republicans to see who can most egregiously violate the most legal principles at one time - as if it's not enough to just destroy America - they have to try to destroy it as much as possible and in the most stupid and brazenly illegal ways possible.

Yes - just as with the DEI controversy, the main point is just to fan the flames of racism.

The 1% understand that the US is approaching a breaking point. Things are going to shit, and people are going to start looking for someone to blame for the ugliness and horror and death to come.

And the blame falls squarely on the shoulders of the 1%.

And of course, they don't want us to see that. So they're doing everything they can to divide us against ourselves.

The irony is that Beth pretty much set the standard for ambitious, weird and unexpected with Morrowind, and have been backing away ever since.
