Last post on here because the owner has finally gone full Nazi. Find me on the blue side. As soon as NWS gets the guts to move over there this account will be off the platform completely.

Slowly unfollowing people on here as I merge to the other blue place. Will be a short time until that is my only social media account

The blue space really took off this week. Finally enough to start limiting the activity here. If you jumped before and were disappointed give it a try again.

23 years ago today I was baptized. The disappointing thing about the election for me is that as a kid "Christians" said Bill shouldn't be president because of what he did. Those same "Christans" elected a cheating child rapist as their president. My church taught me better.

@BCB_PharmD I'll die on the hill that a lot of white young men feel isolated and gravitated to where they felt accepted. That was a huge part of the republican playbook and it worked.

Tempting as it is to blame Gen Z, just as many of the disaffected "young men" that swung this election are Millennials. Same for many other groups. This should be a call to reflect on what positions you can moderate towards center & pay attention to who feels left out and why

Watching Gen Z men veer right hits different for Millennials. We lived through Columbine, 9/11, the Iraq War, 2008 crash, 2016 election, covid, abortion bans, & now this. We watched institutions repeatedly fail us while older generations selfishly protected the status quo. 🧵1/

@Pontifex The Irenean Theodicy suggests that we are in the veil of soul making, and that our suffering is what earns us our place in heaven. Putting aside Dostoyevsky's thoughts - is this what happened to the Saints in 2019? Or was it divine punishment?

We cannot become #Saints with a frown. We must have joyful hearts that remain open to hope.

Same name for those moving... probably won't jump completely until pharmasky takes off but looking forward to that day

@HasanabiProd he’s correct. my thing I’m trying to understand is what is the appeal? WHY are they converting ? what are these podcasts saying that is appealing to this large group of young men that’s making them feel more understood and intrigued to this point ?
English
Hasan sounded the alarm about right wingers dominating the online space for young men.
47% of 18-29 year old men just voted for Trump

When you grow up seeing messaging directed at every demographic but your own you feel forgotten. Blaming "white men" makes people defensive as an emotional reaction. Most people decide with emotion rather than well researched logic. Republicans knew this and pounced on it.

This is why less desirable candidates get the nomination in the first place. 10 candidates with 2-4 very close so the outlier makes it through.

Problem is, one of the way to exit that is with ranked choice voting, which was on the ballot in several states. To my knowledge, it was defeated in all cases, and one state appeared to have outright banned it. We ain't getting away from this rollercoaster anytime soon.

In the words of agent K
"The person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it."
The democratic party in my lifetime still havent figured this out.

Too much politics and not enough puppies on my timeline imo

Likely triple red with a GOP I wouldnt have believed exists 10 years ago, let alone 20. It my not be as bad as it feels but it seems like the foundations of the US will tested in the next 4 years.

Well played sir, well played.

@ArifHasanNFL Even for the wild responses you get this is out of left field... well right field

Really amazing that if you looked at the box score stats minus the score you would think the Vikes are doing really well, but it feels like they are getting curbstomped.
Now, is that Vikings PTSD or real?
English
This is actually impressive. Now, what classic memory will the Vikes pull off next?

@alec_lewis Had to miss one to put us at ease come playoff time #flashbacks
