I liked the one where it said next Trump was gonna rename the Canada Goose to Donald Duck 🤣

The banner saying "socialists exploit affordability crisis" is really pissing me off.

Like, aside from the blatant lie that socialists somehow created the crisis when they've never had a meaningful majority in any US branch of government or chamber of Congress, and have never been the ones on corporate executive boards or boards of shareholders or directors or any of that who are actually to blame;

aside from that, the thing that really pisses me off is just how dishonest it is to say they're "exploiting" a crisis when all they're doing is offering meaningful solutions that people want and as a result are gaining political support...

Edit: Ah fuck, I meant to post this as a top-level comment. Dunno how it wound up as a reply. Oh well, I'm not fixing it...

They didn't fuck up. This is what they actually wanted.

Part of the problem is that this shit is being driven - in no small part - by decades of accumulated damage from climate change.

You can reasonably argue that the price inflation isn't (entirely) Trump's fault.

But because the administration is full of blowhards who insist they've got the magic bullet to fix everything, they can't even acknowledge they're in over their heads.

Their positions are predicated by insisting "liberals suck, economics is easy, this One Neat Trick will fix everything instantly".

So all they're left with now is Joe Biden this and Transgender that

Every despotic regime needs an Emmanuel Goldstein.

Less than three weeks into Trump's first term there was a burst of about 1500 arrests for human trafficking - the result of a year-long sting operation called Operation Cross Country X, started during the Obama administration. Trump was quick to take credit for it - "Two weeks in office and I've cleaned up child exploitation!"

33% are stubborn and stupid either way you cut it.

Yup, gotta give them their canned responses so they don’t think and get proper angry.

The laptop is blocking the strait of Hormuz.

Mitch McConnell too

this basically never working when it’s true

9 times out of 10, the problem is some corporate fuckery. And the corporations in question are tossing out bribes, left right and center.

Republicans and Democrats talk a bunch of shit, but ultimately just compete over who can be the ones getting bribed the most.

This has metastasized into a Trump Administration that exists almost entirely to take bribes, without regard to any actual popular policy.

But it's also created an intense cynicism both among independents and within partisan groups. This kind of messaging can't break through it's own event horizon of hyper-partisan voters. Not only will people dismiss it as unbelievable, they won't even hear Bessent talk unless someone they trust is making fun of him.

Mushroom, mushroom.

That's morally simplistic and defeatist, don't you think? An actual animal evolved enough to be unhappy with having animalistic traits, I find that rather hopeful.

The whole point of their identity is that they can hate people, and that their hatred is righteous

It's truly grotesque

Bunch of pedophile snowflakes
