Yea that was my takeaway too. The consequences may not have been as wide spread as the others but as far as dick moves go it was kinda the worst one.

I just imagine everybody standing board stiff holding their most sincere sieg heil salute while fighting back tears of rapturous emotion while Trump sways halfheartedly to Chumbawumba for twenty minutes

It doesn't matter. The 'shift blame' spell the right have cast on their base means they have impunity because the consequences will be automatically attributed to some other scapegoat.

I am voting for the side that controls the weather. Doing otherwise is just stupid.

Making losers feel special is basically the whole point of MAGA

Janet Jackson MIA for the last ten years resurfacing briefly just to throw racial shade on Kamala

Nobody who does that is going to read, let alone understand, this valid criticism of their methodology

I find him personally disagreeable for reasons that I find difficult to articulate. I just don't like his vibe.

Christian anti-science mentality is mostly an American (specifically Evangelical) thing. Non Americans don't seem as fussed about science being in conflict with their faith.

The star of the show is irrelevant to the performance

Green for go red for no.

Toby McGuire is a bad person.

I am sure that his fellow hard-right master race ethnostate enthusiasts will be happy to enslave his ass much to his pleasure and delight.

This guy is giving off hard raceplay gaykink vibes.

Why fund hospitals at home when you can blow them up abroad?!

She can talk to them after she starts her administration.

Not before. Saying anything about the Middle East at all is political poison to her campaign. There is nothing she can say that won't hurt her.

Throwing Kamala on the crucible of pro/anti Israel activism right now is self-centered narcissistic reasoning that serves nobody.

Just because they have been doesn't mean that will serve as the status quo indefinitely.

There is no wrath greater than the anger of a patient man. The performative rage of MAGA bleating hollows in comparison.

On the timeline where Harambe wasn't killed is the one where "policy matters".

And to be clear nobody is saying that policy won't be crucial to her administration, rather it is meaningless at best (or detrimental at worst) to talk about it during the campaign.

The fragile progressive/neoliberal big tent alliance needed to hold autocracy at bay need not get dragged into the weeds by bickering amongst themselves over hypothetical issues that won't even matter unless they actually win first.

Policy will matter as soon as MAGAs golden cow is sent to pasture. Mentally/physically/emotionally he won't be viable as a candidate in 2028 (at which point Peter Thiel's next Moldbug inspired ghoul will present themselves)

The more self-righteously accusatory these right wing fucks are the more embarrassingly abhorrent their past behavior has been.
