@FollowingTrend @NotHoodlum You realize that Mars is a pipe dream right? Go look at experts that offer serious analysis about Musk's Mars plans. You go with Elon because he's grifting on you..so of course you will go with Elon.

@NotHoodlum Sam Harris is having yet another public mental breakdown and Elon Musk is busy putting man on Mars. I'll go with Elon.

In three hours last night, he posted over 125 times. And he's still at it…

@Ryan_Kartje Maybe Lynn should look at replacing Shaun Nua as DE coach. He was DL coach last year..bad QB pressure/sack stats. DE coach this year..poor performance from that group.

Interesting stat, when considering the D’Anton Lynn effect at USC and UCLA … —UCLA’s opponent 3rd-down rate in ’23, w/ D’Anton Lynn as DC: 35.5% (35th) —In 2024, UCLA, w/o Lynn: 51% (134th, dead last) —USC in 2023, w/ Grinch: 43.7% (109th). —USC, w/ Lynn in ’24: 32.6% (22nd)

@politico When are we Democrats going to face the fact that a majority of American voters are racist, sexist, and christo-fascist to their cores? All the pearl-clutching is what's revolting.

Centrist Dems seize opening at the DNC: ‘I don’t want to be the freak show party’ ow.ly/4N7H105P0Ss

@BrandoRusselll @mmpadellan So your "god" led you to Trump? You are a catastrophic moron.

@mmpadellan You just have unpopular ideas and opinions. Don’t blame algorithms and people. Bless your heart.

Show of hands: Who else prefers not having their tweets swarmed by asshole bots and trolls all day, and not having their content throttled? 🤚

@SethHenrySeth @samuelsibeko @NBCNews Which high school did you barely graduate from?

@samuelsibeko @NBCNews which college did you attend?

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s new commission to slash government spending began soliciting applications for staff jobs, saying it wants to hire “revolutionaries” and that “compensation is zero." nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news…

@TheClassicPhil @JoJoFromJerz Morons voting for a moron. I guess game knows game.

@JoJoFromJerz Donald Trump will be the 47th U.S. President; I hope this helps! 🤷‍♂️💯🇺🇲

I can’t sleep.

@JoJoFromJerz America is a different country now. We are at the beginning of the christo-fascist state.

@seanpeaaa @ElieNYC They are that whether I tell them or not. That's the problem.

@LegLamp @ElieNYC Sure, tell half the country they’re reductive, uneducated morons and see how that works out in 2028.

I can’t because I’m not white. White boys are never gonna listen to me. And if they did, me telling them that they are stupid and need to educate themselves and read a statute… would not go over well!! As Senator Draccus said in Gladiator “I am not *of* the people, I just try to be *for* them.”

@9luckycrater09 @Geiger_Capital @BillAckman @KamalaHarris @X Actually, I do know what it means. It's you. And you are proud of it. But that's what dumb people with no empathy do. And look, you are already thinking about vengeance. You've proved in your post exactly what I was talking about.

@LegLamp @Geiger_Capital @BillAckman @KamalaHarris @X appears you have no idea what the word fascist means. At this point, you've got to feel the burn. Hard to imagine what it's like when you have to eat all the shit you've pumped out in the campaign. The great evil you winged about incessantly is now large & in charge.

If the election outcome is as I expected, it should cause the large minority of the country who supported @KamalaHarris and predicted her victory to begin to question their sources of truth. Half the country has believed that @X is filled with mis- and disinformation, and that they could only therefore rely on The NY Times, MSNBC, CNN and other mainstream media for their news. And they did. If, however, you have been active on @X for the last year, you have known the truth days, weeks and often months before the facts appear in the MSM. The MSM excerpted, clipped and cut to defame @realDonaldTrump while claiming that @JoeBiden was fit as a fiddle. Then when Biden’s polls collapsed, @KamalaHarris was anointed the candidate and her hagiography was written with glowing acclaim from the press. But this could not hold as she ducked the media and held fast to the teleprompter. Citizen journalists with their phone cameras in hand captured the real Kamala forcing her to defend her record and her plans in more media appearances. It did not go well and the public demanded to learn more so @KamalaHarris had to risk more unscripted media. The doom loop was underway with perhaps 60 Minutes as one of the more dramatic examples, even after CBS tried to save her, most glaringly by excerpting one answer to replace a word salad response to another. But the citizen journalists on @X quickly caught and outed this fraud and demanded a transcript. As many who supported Kamala began to realize that they have been misled, they became open to Trump as an alternative, but they didn’t want to rely on the media to understand him because they did not want to be misled again. They wanted to hear the candidate in his own words and that is where @lexfridman and @joeroganhq long form podcasts came to the rescue. When Kamala was offered the same opportunities to explain herself, she rejected them. And the voting public could only draw a negative inference. When the story of this election is written, I expect it will be as much about how half of America woke up to the reality that they have been manipulated by the media. This should lead to an abandonment by many of the MSM as their primary source of information. It will push more people to @X, to podcasts and other empirical sources, and it will lead to a more informed public. The other outcome I hope happens is the implosion of the Democratic Party. The Party lied to the American people about the cognitive health and fitness of the president. It prevented, threatened, litigated and otherwise eliminated the ability of other candidates for the primary to compete, to get on ballots, and to even participate in a debate. The Party and the administration used lawfare in an attempt to imprison, bankrupt or otherwise kill off Trump as a candidate. These acts are collectively grave threats to our democracy. With the highest irony in order to hide these acts, the Party accused the opposition candidate of being the grave threat to democracy. The Democratic Party proved itself to be fundamentally undemocratic. It needs a complete reboot. The leadership should be thrown out and those responsible should apologize to the American people. Honest Abe said it best: You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.

@HunterWillis @Slate You've already voted for a fascist. You've already revealed who you are. And Democrats aren't the ones trying to take away people's rights. You've got that all wrong but you don't care.

There is no mystery left about Trump. The country chose him anyway. slate.trib.al/H7CgIiD

@seanpeaaa @ElieNYC Not all latinos and white woman but what can be said about people that would vote for an imbecile like Trump? They are low-information people and that' the truth.

@ElieNYC Just keep saying Latinos and white women are dumb, Elie. I’m sure that’ll bode well for the party.

@ElieNYC And that capacity won't come for many years. We have lost the culture wars because we now have a majority of low-information, incurious fascists that would rather exact revenge than build a functioning democracy. We are now enslaved by the dupes.

And liberals have no capacity to do that right now.

People saying Harris should have done Joe Rogan are missing the point. That wouldn’t have helped her. Liberals need to BUILD THEIR OWN JOE ROGAN. Somebody who can speak to the people he speaks to, without being a guy who wants to kiss ass to billionaires like Elon Musk.

@HunterWillis @Slate We live in a different America..one with people who would rather vote for vengeance and hurt specific groups of people. Has nothing to do with the economy or any other real issue. There is nothing to be analyzed. The culture war is lost.

@Slate At some point, the Dems need to ask themselves, "How did this guy become the appealing candidate? Why are we pushing voters to him instead of attracting them? That didn't happen in 16, despite the overwhelming need. Calling everyone "racist" is what sent them in the first place.

@PontiMike @ninaturner You voted Trump because you are low-information dupes that desperately want to hang on to your racism and sexism. As the billionaire class and corporations laugh at you...

@ninaturner We have. That’s why we voted Trump.

Choose hope over fear.

@RogerWallaceTX @ElieNYC @mehdirhasan Nah. Blame Rupert Murdoch.

@ElieNYC @mehdirhasan Merrick Garland, and Joe Biden, is why this happened.

Merrick Garland.

@thematthewcooke Yes, and Trump won't stop it, he will exacerbate it. He thinks Bibi hasn't done enough. This might be the times that Israel ends Palestine and the people that voted for Trump don't give a shit about Gaza so who, exactly, are you appealing to? Where is this "uprising" coming from?

Because neoliberalism and its total embrace of the colonial looting mentality provides the exact conditions where for an ethno-nationalist movement to take hold. The Biden-Harris administration is continuing to back, arm, finance and defend an ethno-nationalist genocide as we speak. A mass movement against it, required a fearless moral inventory.

Too many liberals claim the economy is working for most Americans. And that voters who think otherwise are uninformed. Just stuck in a blitz of propaganda. This is not only false, it’s instantly delegitimizing. Facts: Inequality is at staggering levels. And that doesn’t just mean bank balances. And lack of healthcare for millions. And lack of parental leave. And lack of childcare. Or no money for emergencies. Or the high price of essentials. Like a home. Or that two-parent families have to work at least two jobs. It’s also the mass effects of the corporate homogenization of every market from communications to entertainment to food. Oligarchies don’t just strangle competition and innovation but obliterate meaningful work which means they crush the possibility for a meaningful life. High percentages of people do not like or trust any major US institutions anymore. Americans feel deeply alienated by their own society. That is a very real indictment of the economy - which is the combo of all these central aspects of life. Without a clear and meaningful opposition to this oppressive oligarchy, a con man can easily use the politics of racism , resentment, paranoia, and culture war scapegoating to seize his opportunity. Given Trumps numerous well-documented crimes, the democrats should have been able to easily claim moral integrity. Backing, financing, and arming an ongoing genocide completely demolished that possibility. Aligning with the Cheneys, a notorious war criminal family, satisfied their empire-invested donors, but further insured there could be no tidal wave of surrogates to help whip enthusiasm, educate, and organize. And so here we are. We have the same work to do now as we did yesterday. We must rise up. Much higher up. The way to overcome the ills of centralized, violent, sectarian power is the opposite: empowerment, moral clarity and consistency. Universal love, dignity and care. And a real economic platform: Demilitarization. Abolishing poverty. Universal healthcare and child care. Breaking up the major monopolies from communications to food. Taxing billionaire-level hoarding out of existence. An immediate transition to green energy independence - at the massive scope of the new deal plus the space race. A digital bill of rights. A commitment to care for and be responsible for each other as one human family. In other words: A real vision. A human one.

@TheEconomist In short, populists tend to be low-information who lean into their hatred of others or perceived threats of having their hegemony undermined. They're just dupes who do the bidding of the billionaire class and corporations who couldn't care less about them.

A pressing question for Kamala Harris—and the Democrats more widely—is why they did so poorly. As incumbents in other parts of the world discovered, voters were evidently ready to punish those in office econ.st/4fw7EfJ 👇

@thematthewcooke @KayceePage50 We have lost the culture war, Matthew.

I wrote a longer version of this and posted it. We rise up. Higher than ever. We work on our own moral clarity and consistency. We universally love and oppose bigotry in all forms - especially within ourselves. We embody the solution and conflict resolution. We rally, educate, and work on a much bigger vision that’s a real opposition movement in a nutshell: opposing militarism, racism, and poverty. The unholy trinity. Breakup all the monopolies. Abolish poverty. The whole list. We can win the culture war. We just have to mainstream the ideas. Ours are so much better.

@Sajidjutt01 @nytimes What you have just said is plain stupid.

Valin Kamala is not yours, you have been given a chance to struggle once again, don't think of it as a defeat, it doesn't matter if you lose, life will continue as it is, but Trump won yesterday, you also won, Trump is a very good leader.
