So who do you think is the worst President ever?

You should look into that. I'll take those notations any time now.

I've only read a couple of his books but don't remember this specific trope. Can you give notations?

And even if you dislike this trope and think it's lame does that mean he should be booted out of the Hugo awards?

They are trying to out crazy each other because that makes them the most trump like. It's not enough to talk about banning books from public libraries, now you have to line them up and do a photo op with a flamethrower. It's just more of that virtue signaling they constantly accuse everyone else of doing.

Commence the brain drain as students and educators flee to schools in states that aren't batshit insane. Which suits the Repubs fine because that's less libruls voting the "wrong" way in the foreseeable future.

The House majority switches parties every other election. If the Dems retake the House this November they could investigate this. Nice attempt at a gotcha, though.

It's called humor Brenda, look it up.

And you just know he thinks of himself as some kind of a gigachad alpha male. Dude can't even organize an orgy for his pals without paying the women. Lame ass.

I've seen other polls that suggest that Gen X is basically a 50/50 split, which means they kind of cancel each other out. But right wing Gen X'ers are basically Boomer-lites so these annoying conspiracy addled people will be with us for the long haul.

I'm not sure how the independents split in the younger generations, but even if its close to 50/50 that's still a huge boost for the Dems as the Boomers die off.

The article focuses on Trump and his legal problems and his desperation, but the fact that the Boomers are going to start dying en masse over the next decade (the oldest ones are now 78) is another factor. Their demographic is getting old as shit. That's why they are so desperate as a whole.

They are going full blown fascist because it's the only way they're going to be able to retain power in the future.

He'll just whine to his cult and they'll donate enough to cover it. But I hope he gets hit with the maximum penalties nonetheless.

He meant over half of Republicans. The rest of the population doesn't count.
