I find it exceedingly hard to believe that a conservative will not vote for Trump when it really comes down to the day. I think there are plenty that will say they won’t all the way up to that point though.
Unbelievable that you can see all this carnage, deliberate use of non surgical engagement, calling Palestinians animals, calling leveling entire population centers “mowing the lawn”, and think they are fighting Hamas.
They know exactly what they’re doing, they’ll tell you themselves even.
They tried that a bit ago with Ted Cruz and the “taking our gas stoves and hamburgers” but it didn’t have much sticking power. It will come around in full strength eventually though.
Wish NPR had the guts to have a left wing bias. Between fund drives, hand wringing, pearl clutching, and some biographic segment on the death of an obscure vaudeville act reviewer, they’re pressed for time to come up with anything else
“chivalry” in many cases is perpetrated by people who absolutely despise the targets of their chivalry. Call it caping, call it centrism, call it civility, whatever modality strikes your fancy. MGT is a odious human being responsible for a ton of harm, I don’t care if she gave her last fiver to trump and he wiped his ass with it, it should be mocked. (And she didn’t, she’s profited in numerous ways off the backs of the people, so no tears need shedding here)
And no one ignores the plight of rural folk as much as Republicans. Indeed they want to make it worse to gin up more discomfort. I’m from deep rural Alabama. To say my family votes against their own interests is a given, for the two choices, but they vote for the most extreme antithesis to their best interest every time because frankly, they’re committed to the “invisible war against “”“other””“”.
I agree they should escape, but I also am not going to extend them some bullshit about how they’re “forgotten” or “ignored”. They know exactly what they’re doing. They are making their choices.
If you run into a version where Bill is saying it, and he may very well be, I’ll happily hate it too. There’s a flavour difference between some “In this house we believe in Science” sign in the yard capital L liberal saying it and an establishment ghoul on the caliber of (either) Clinton
Every fifth political article including this one is related to the conflict of more progressive or leftist voters not wanting the highly establishment Joe “bussing policy, crime bill, I’m a Zionist” Biden. If you haven’t seen that then frankly I’m a little baffled
I think this particular thing is more like: is my somewhat well intentioned but misguided neighbor coming to my house complaining that I’m killing the earth with my one monthly Ziploc bag or is Exxon Mobile coming and telling me that
The first one is surely an eyeroll but the second one is a real circus act.
So, while criticizing Biden might catch you heat from some random Vote Blue No Matter Who types, it’s real fuckin rich to hear it from as deep inside the machine as a Clinton
