I have a staunchly leftist but older co-worker who thinks no one she knew growing up had autism.

“I still think something is causing it” despite being pro-vaxx.

The propaganda is extremely effective unfortunately

“Shop like a billionaire” indeed

Another bullshit headline. He didn’t admit anything of the sort. He did overpromise and underdeliver, as he always does. This can be construed as a failure. He did not, however, “admit” failure.

Whether he’s alive or not, it’s more that they don’t care and don’t want to be told they have to do anything by some liberal activist judge.

Liberating Americans from what little capital they have left

Why the hell do these people want to be enslaved in factories anyway?

There is a very specific type of American subset that is in love with that fantasy. Real, honest, hard, labor, subservient and reliable. It gives some people purpose, value, even hope. Even for those who did not experience it firsthand, there is a tangible sense of loss for that type of American experience.

Like religion, labor can function as meaning when life appears too complex for deeper understanding.

There are a lot of “you can tell by the way it is” type comments so I’ll be specific. Zoom in on the eyes of the Native American. Observe how the Union officer isn’t really gripping his arm with that hand. The little boy in the final panel is missing eye details.

There are some other telling details but those jump out right away.

Already moved all my PC stuff to Linux. Laptop, desktop, media server. Been wanting to do this for years. Thanks, Valve and Proton, and to all those Linux developers who made this transition possible. Fuck M$

News that isn’t news is just clickbait. Content. Rage bait. It’s the state of journalism, responding to changes in the distribution model and drop in demand for quality.

Read the headlines. Slams, hints, calls for, demands, suggests… It’s all talk and no action. It’s not news it’s gossip. What have we gained by endlessly platforming America’s stupidest and most odious liars? High blood pressure.

He didn’t say this. I’m dunking on their predictability and craven natures. Guess I wasn’t too far off the mark.

“We all do it, we all go home and tell our wives about our day at work, this is… look its basically the same thing… it’s completely normal behavior and the radical lunatic left wants to act like sharing national security secrets with family members at the dinner table is tantamount to treason is just like… like c’mon…”

Hey we’ve been taking vitamins for decades now, they’ve been proven safe!

Wait

Could be the one thing to finally bring peace to the Thanksgiving dinner table, if maga gampa is super pissed about losing his Social Security and decides his “woke” granddaughter maybe has a point after all

Extortion, bootlicking, and corruption. Just another day in America.

They relate to him. They feel put upon by the burdens of a world that left them behind. They’re struggling financially while those “liberal elites” laugh at their misfortune. They grind 40 or 60 hours for a pittance that barely keeps food on the table these days. They watch TV and are bombarded by a culture that embraces sexual deviancy and vices that demonstrate the rot at the heart of their once fine upstanding country.

From their perspective, of course. Forged by propaganda and misinformation that they are too furious to examine. This idiot man-baby we see? They see a fucking savior. A man who like them knows how things ought to be. A man with the willpower and knowhow to “save America.”

Where we see petulance, they see righteousness, and they sympathize. These people are furious. He’s got them completely weaponized.

🙋 Coffee?

I don’t think the victim here is a leftist. Trucker hat, rolled up sleeves; he’s a working class conservative who’s getting hammered by Trumps policies. He is still blaming Biden against all evidence.

I have noticed in my daily life and work a drastic and rapid reduction in visible support markers from the minority of radicalized Trump supporters in my area since the election. I have often wondered if this is the result of shame or actual regret.

Doesn’t really matter in the end. They’re just as likely to find a new target to blame for his failures. These people don’t do introspection very well.

“Hey guys! We won! We control basically all three branches of government! We can do anything we want!”

“Neat! What should we do first?”

“Oh, I know what! Let’s revisit a settled issue and try to rewrite history though performative acts of phony investigation!”

“…uh, ok. But what’s the point? We got everything we wanted. We can do anyth…”

“THEY HURT OUR FEELINGS GOD DAMN IT”

The guy who shoved his way through a group at a summit to make sure he was in front for a photo-op.

The guy who bragged about walking in on a women’s dressing room.

The guy who gassed protesters so he could pose awkwardly with a Bible in front of a church.

That guy? Huh.
