But remember, Obama Is The Most Radical President In Our History - y'know, as long as you ignore the mass deportations, rendering the Bush tax cuts permanent, record aid to Israel, all that
nonsense. They keep saying it, and the
rabidly liberal media barely utter a
peep of protest, so it must be true!
Though while we're on the subject of stolen elections, why the hell aren't establishment Democrats setting aside Russia to talk about
Interstate Crosscheck?
Because their case for opposition election-tampering accusations actually have some teeth, while the conservative equivalent doesn't and never did, so granting it attention would obviously be decreed
biased and
hyper-partisan and, of course,
sour grapes.
Interstate Crosscheck was an immediate result of the Bush jr. Supreme Court gutting the voting rights act, by the way. This was why keeping the Supreme Court out of Republican hands was reason enough to hold your nose this election.
Which is why it's also a
screaming travesty, the type that should
end careers at the
very least, that the media,
across ideological lines, has not formed a united, unanimous front of loud, incessant condemnation of every single member of Congress who has not been
demanding, for months on end, that Merrick Garland receive a hearing (not even a
confirmation - just a
hearing!). Every last TV show, newspaper, website and radio program should have told their listeners to vote out
any and all participants in this freakish abortion of democracy; if liberals had done it, you bet your ass they would have (they
gave Bork one, and are
still savaged for
that!).
Speaking of which, why the
fuck hasn't
every outlet - left, right or otherwise -
demanded that Kellyanne Conway
immediately resign after
this scene from 1984? Are they
seriously going to silently put up with
four years of this shit?

He already has,
repeatedly, if your assertion about jobs/healthcare/economy is true; with
very few exceptions, every single policy proposal he's made is
blatantly aimed at enriching the wealthy by giving everyone else a major haircut, "justified" by the
proven falsehood that is "trickle-down" economic theory. The problem is that most Trump voters either don't
know what kind of sham they were sold (thanks in part to incompetent liberal messaging, yes, but also an
sinfully uninterested media; have you
ever heard even this singular,
incredibly consequential matter discussed in depth
anywhere?), or don't
care that it's a sham, because they're willing to sacrifice their own livelihoods to strike a blow against common societal decency (sorry, "out-of-control political correctness").
But the worse thing about all of this regarding the DNC/Progressives is that they don't want to leave their "safe space," I mean Cities and Suburbs. They didn't even try in the Rural areas, it is like they don't give a shit about them and their lacking jobs, healthcare issues, and etc. The snobness of Progressives usually means that Rural voters are dumb, uneducated, love their guns/religion.
I don't know, did conservatives put much effort into leaving their own "safe spaces", and attempt to win over urban voters? Considering how badly they lost there I wouldn't think so (and even then only eked out an overall win by placing multiple thumbs on the scale)...which is why, as I've said before, instead of focusing on possibly dismantling the electoral college we
really need to revisit the "winner take all" approach to electoral vote allocation that most states use, so that candidates couldn't base their entire strategy on very narrow wins in a small handful of areas. I'd
love to hear the inevitable justifications that every single GOP governor would come up with not to change it.
As for negative stereotypes of rural voters - and, more to the point, the justification of the resulting personal indignation as a completely legitimate reason to cast a ballot that will directly and profoundly affect millions of others - well, I guess I can't really comment, right? I mean, what would a latte-drinking, Prius-driving, terrorist-loving, nose-piercing, success-hating, kumbaya, baby-killing, reverse-racist, screeching godless hyper-feminized triggered sissy cuckfag like me know about any of that?
The one thing personally that really piss me off about this is what's the point of blasting social issues when people have no work?
"Optics" aside, has the possibility occurred to you that the two might in some way be related?
The person who did the punch should be arrested, even if the Spencer guy has that Pepe meme thingy on his jacket, lol.
He should, and progressives of note should condemn the act, just as much as they did the Trump supporter who sucker-punched the protester as he was being dragged out and the Tea Partier who brought a loaded sniper rifle to a town hall meeting - the last thing the left needs is to co-opt Trump's "beat the hell out of 'em", let alone Ted Nugent's "suck on my machine gun" rhetoric (I always found it funny how "shut up and sing" - let alone "celebrity meddling will hand the other side the election" - never managed to apply to him). I mean, Jesus, is this the
only way some people know how to oppose even someone as ludicrous as Trump and company? Fire off a neuron or two and you've already won half the battle!
EDIT: To avoid having to make another post, to anyone who thought at least a few GOP'ers might actually grow a pair when it comes to Trump's plutocratic wet dream of a cabinet,
reality just called yet again.
