@DuckBurger4 It has always stuck with me that in both 1984 and F451, the people were not defeated into their state. They begged the state to think for them and dumb them down. I think of that and sub literacy whenever MAQA supports their god king.

You never see people brings up the quite prominent plot point about Ingsoc having legalized gambling rigged to have no winner. Something interestingly relevant yet not talked about because few ever actually read the book.
Lesbian Rod Serling 🇵🇸🇺🇦🇮🇷@LRSerling

People forget (or just didnt read the book and dont know) that 1984 is about the life of party aparatchiks in an authoritarian regime, not apolitical people. Its about the state being turned into a cult

@NotAvgLiberal Hell yeah. I am a tall, bearded vet that does not censor myself. It pisses people off when they hear me say that T is a loser. It is like a betrayal.

For all the MAGA Republicans who continue to raid my threads, Accusing me of being unpatriotic, communist or whatever else bullshit rhetoric you hear of Fox News or from Trump. I served 2 combat tours in a combat zone, Combat Wounded. In a war started by a Republican President over a lie over weapons of mass destruction. (Sound familiar?) I’ve been married to the same woman for 29 years. I’ve raised and fully funded the educations of 2 adult daughters. Still raising a teen son. I have my own business, pending on the project, I employ up to 300 skilled tradesmen / women at a time. A lot of them Republicans. I’ve never taken a dime from the Federal Government for any reason. Lastly, I support the 2nd Amendment. If I was a Republican…. You critics would be kissing my ass.

If Trump thinks his life sucks now, just wait until the Democrats spend the last two years of his term grinding him into impeachment pasta.

@Pyre_the_first @LisaDNews That makes sense. I don’t think the SAVE ACT has a chance. The Democrats are blocking it. I mean God forbid we require proof of citizenship to vote! 😂. Jeez, I wonder why they would be against that…wink wink

BREAKING. The Senate just passed funding for most of DHS for the rest of the fiscal year. The bill funds all but ICE and *Border Patrol* This was by unanimous voice vote. It now goes to the House, which is still in town and can vote later today. The bill contains no reforms. It comes after POTUS pledged to fund TSA, removing a key pressure point.

@SkinnerPm Something he did before and during his first term was say 'those... (Long pause) ... people.' In context it was obvious he was trying to not say something evil in interviews.

The president is openly racist. Has been his entire life. His ‘low IQ’ slur is used very selectively and deliberately. Again and again he shows everyone: The president is openly racist.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar

Trump: "In Minnesota, it's very Somalia-oriented. These people come from a crooked country, disgusting country, one of the worst countries in the world. They come to our country -- low IQs -- and they rob us blind. Stupid people, and they rob us blind."

@Socdem_Michael I suspect a Hillary / Kamala situation, except on the right. It is his turn so they set him up for failure. FTR, they would have been great presidents.

I mean, he’s the nominee unless Trump endorses someone else. Pretty simple. Incumbent VP’s have a massive advantage in a presidential primary if they decide to run for president. If Trump backs him (like most presidents back their VP), then he’s going to win the nomination and it won’t be close. Unless we are in a scenario where the economy bottoms out and Trump is in W. Bush sub-30 approval range. Then maybe the Republican donor class and right-wing media revolt and demand a nominee who isn’t anchored to Trump’s unpopularity.
Phil Magness@PhilWMagness

Reasons Vance won't be the nominee in 2028: - His polls are cratering. - He loses head-to-head vs most Dems - even to AOC. - 2026 midterms are going to be a brutal test of his electoral coalition. - He's also losing influence inside the Trump admin. - Being a frontrunner 2.5 years out is a poor predictor of becoming the nominee (see Jeb! in 2016 and Giuliani and Hillary in 2008) All of that belies the weird Postliberal wishcasting about how he's the anointed one to usher in right wing socialist theocracy. And they get very, very mad when you point that out.

@chrisras1980 @LisaDNews The bill they want to pass would force the SAVE Act into law. This bypasses that. I may be having a senior moment though lol

@LisaDNews So the bill doesn’t fund ICE and border patrol but the “big beautiful bill” that was signed into law last year funds ICE and border patrol? What am I missing?

Yes this is how a tyrant working in a democratic system tries to take over He pushes and pushes and pushes until there boundaries are gone and all he has to do is ignore the courts and it’s all his And most Republicans would celebrate their new King
Matthew Yglesias@mattyglesias

Democrats have been pushing a standalone TSA funding bill, Republicans have been blocking it. Now instead of taking yes for an answer, Trump is going to try to achieve the same goal but illegally?

This doesn’t land because conservatives think we worship George Floyd (we don’t) the way they worship Charlie Kirk. Our jokes come from an honest and objective observation of Charlie and Erika. Whereas they can’t even get their story straight on how George Floyd died, lol.

Valve is funny because they're a hyper capitalist private company who has a not-literal, but functional monopoly on PC gaming. But their internal company policy is practically communist, where no one is forced to do anything and they just work on whatever they feel like. Resulting in probably the best company in the world.

Comedians are often political but I think Druski’s turn into more mirroring the far-right in a way that is so revolutionary it borders on activism, even dangerously so. I think it’s braver than many people realize.
