I dont think that’s American, it’s a shit-ton of custom work to fill all that in. Are Europeans willing to spend 10 times as long worldbuilding their campaigns??

Well shit.

That’s a really good point I had not thought of.

👍👍 two thumbs up from the same arm.

That’s fucking hilarious.

I mean like in an orphancrushingmachine kind of way but I’ll take what I can get.

Long-windedness is the soul of wit.

Never do any art again, got it. Thanks, CNN!

Sad loser thinks saying even dumber things will surely get people to like him this time!

AP is basically where the news gets its news, so I go there if I’m not looking for commentary or discussion.

Some comedy news programs have developed a level of journalistic integrity that frequently surpasses actual news outlets. John Oliver, the Daily Show, and Jon Stewart’s The Weekly Show podcast are really solid, not to mention much less hostile to sanity.

NPR has historically been king for getting me to feel like I actually understand an issue. I’ve been wary of them ever since whatever record-scratching both-sidesing it was they pulled during the 2016-2020 Trump American Soulrape Era that made me think nazi cock might have npr spit on it. I might look back into them again. They were good for a long time before that, it’s been awhile, and I haven’t heard about it continuing.

Thank you for this.

This is russian state terrorist levels of stupid.

Like Temu?

You mean like facebook and twitter.

Define a set of rules, and someone will figure out how to cheat it.

Come on now…some of those people will be worse than dead.

Push it more and more towards universal basic income, with Chipotle’s help.

And how many of them from Donald Trump’s boss in Russia?

This is it right here. Concerningly large swaths of people talk about swearing like this distinction–which is the whole discussion–doesn’t exist.

If you swear enough you can completely turn it off when you’re truly pissed and it’s terrifying.

“Crime is bad”

“Wow hate black people much”

“Uhhhhh wtf nobody mentioned black people but you dude”

“You’re a racist who hates black people, you just said it yourself!”

That’s that 2024-level dialogue we’ve all come to love.

Fascists don’t just lie, they invert the truth precisely.

Trickle-down economics, for example, was pitched as “a rising tide lifts all boats”, when in reality trickle down economics is the exact opposite of that. A rising tide lifting all boats would be the poorest person getting money until they have as much money as the second poorest person, then those two getting money until they have as much money as the third poorest person, and so on. Lying, reality-inverting fascists got up on a stage–in front of people-- and said that process was the same as giving the people with the most money even more money.

In a way it’s brilliant, because it’s so brazenly and bafflingly stupid that it acts like an EMP for logical thought. Which they know, and intentionally utilize. The most important skill a fascist has to have is the ability to make people stupid enough to vote for them. What better way than to go for the jugular and assault reality itself?

With an incessant anti-reality static, courtesy of your fox newses and heritage foundations, reality offers no obstacle at all.

I personally want him to lose, have the news stop mentioning him, have his crimes catch up to him, and have to suffer narcissist hell as the only things he ever hears about himself are people shitting on him, as nobody cares about his responses.

May he live long.
