How can there be any red states? Simple. The red pills, they take them. Also relentless Fox News propaganda and white Christian entitlement. To these bozos, equality for all looks like oppression for them.

In short the kindest word I can say about rural people complaining from afar about "liberals" is that they are ignorant. And they can't say they aren't trying to hurt people, when they vote for the party that expressly is trying to hurt people. You can't have that cake and eat it too.

This is the end result of the dehumanizing process of boogieman politics propaganda.

You must understand that they do not see those others as equal human beings. The gays, the trans, the immigrants, etc. They aren't voting to hurt "people." They're voting to hurt those they have been conditioned to think are less than people.

The Nazis didn't support hurting people. They supported hurting subhuman undesirables and jews.

Dehumanizing speech creates monsters who still think they are good, wholesome and love their fellow man.

Did I say we should use the Space Force to deport the space-alien MAGA? We need to replace the MAGA with human beings from anywhere -- like Mexico and Jhina. Then, we could Make America Good Again.

It's always been that. Racism didn't die when Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. The fact that the way we elect our president was designed specifically to give slave states outsized electoral influence just reinforces it.
Xenophobia and anti-intellectualism have been around for centuries, to be sure, but they've taken on an energy under Trump that hadn't been there for a while. Trump and his supporters get to say out loud things that more recent predecessors either didn't believe or kept quiet.

It has always been a core tenet of the conservatives, but yeah they didn't say it out loud for a while. They always believed it though.

Not to mention the Heritage Foundation is now labeling virtually EVERY human rights and civil rights org a "communist plot" and a "color revolution."

Get a load of this bullshit:


Same old tricks since MLK. Turn the fucking record over.
I'm still in shock how in the 1980s the right was able to whitewash a legit revolutionary in MLK into this bland good negro that supposedly believed skin color doesn't matter because they focus on one line out of one speech and act like he wasn't one of the most hated men in America at the time of his assassination. He had something like a net 60-70 point unfavorability rating so it wasn't just bigots in Mississippi who hated him, it was most of the nation.

Hey @Greenman - any update on what evidence you will accept that Trump wants to hurt people?

He still thinks Trump speaks complete sentences and that Trump is a Mensa candidate. Classic "head up the ass" syndrome. Ignore any inconvenient evidence, and you'll always be right.

Not at this time, I'll be sure to let you know if that changes.
I've been focused on a couple of important tasks, a new walnut headboard for my MIL and air conditioning for my shop.

Remember, I’ll supply the evidence and do all the work - you just have to tell me what sort of evidence you will accept. Would direct quotes from his own cabinet members suffice? How about videos of him saying he wants to hurt people? Things like that.

As I said before though and as you’re alluding to now the answer seems to be ‘I will not accept any evidence that says Trump wants to hurt people’. If that’s the case that’s fine, just say so.

The Shasta County Board of Supervisors voted 3-2 on Wednesday to give the job to Tom Toller, a former Shasta County prosecutor who told the board he supports hand-counting ballots

Sorry...Tom Toller? You can't make this stuff up!

Toller: A person or thing that tolls.

Toll: A payment or fee exacted by the state, the local authorities, etc., for some right or privilege, as for passage along a road or over a bridge.

Isn't that exactly what the GQP wants? To be the gatekeeper on who can and cannot vote.


As a positive, the article links to a different article mentioning that Democrats were able to narrow down the circumstances of when a hand count could be initiated. And helps brings some sanity to the absolute 100% lies that there was widespread voter fraud happening.

Imagine still trying to speak to @Greenman thinking he has integrity and self-awareness to have a moral and intellectual discussion. Too funny. After years of posting all has shown is he is morally and intellectually bankrupt. I mean it's not like there isn't any evidence or track record here.

Those people like him are unreachable. There will be Democrats still trying to talk sense into the Nazi's while their country is taken over by them.

@MrSquished Think you meant Republicans still trying to talk sense to Nazis. But they won't just be be trying to talk sense, they'll be actively joining them in whatever circle jerk of racism and bigotry they're spewing.

The specific and most correct term to use for them is collaborators.

I live in a town where almost nobody is registered Republican, in an extremely blue state (CA). I pay attention to the news. TFG is such a POS it's hard for me to understand why anybody would vote for him. The R party has sold its soul. They are vile, will do utterly unconscionable things for money and power. Biden's a decent man with decades of experience in service to his country.

How can there be all these red states? Why are there even swing states? It boggles my mind.

This occurred to me while reading this article, and particularly the reader comments. This link will work to get through the paywall for 14 days, i.e. until June 25, 2024:

Would you be willing to give up prop 13 and start paying your fair share of property taxes?
