But anyone dumb enough to try this would start Civil War 2.0.

i lol’ed when i got to this line because you perfectly described the circumstances describing nixon’s resignation (excluding the execution).

make your billions by buying lots of small, but super profitable investments.

• so far

what if you’re both?

as a queer brown man; i don’t want to be anywhere at all.

why 1949 and where?

fwiw: gay nightlife in san francisco was at its zenith in the 50’s & 60’s .

the san francisco we have today is a tiny dim more conservative ember of what it was back then.

they don’t even have to be from trump.

so much of my extended family came over without papers, but managed to get them and now they want that trump wall built and want immigrants banned and the last election proves that it’s a common thread among all latinos.

most of the ones in rural texas and suburban florida like trump; every one else hates him and there’s no in between somehow; but hating on new immigrants is common everywhere.

she’s WISHES! lol

difference they’re not on lemmy; they’re people to volunteered to work in a position where they have to deal with this behavior.

Let’s see how the strategy of ignoring calls from your base a year before a contested election that your opponent polls higher in key states works out for them. It feels like the DNC is trying to lose in 2024 right now.

the “vote for the lesser evil” crowd are an overwhelming majority and, they not only don’t care that dems don’t deserve your vote; but will use that overwhelming majority voice to blame you for enabling trump.

genx is the most trumpy of all the generations and millennials are now in their early 40’s; unless you’re genz or younger, i wouldn’t wait.

also living long enough to watch biden go from dunking on gays to get easy political points to being hailed as the most pro-gay president ever has convinced me that things change in ways that don’t make sense so i now expect that, as wealth transfers from boomers to their younger relatives, we’ll see fascist sentiments resurge due to newly wealthy people feeling like they need to do something to keep their new found wealth.

it’s everywhere american conservatives have a relationship and right now it’s strongest in africa

my pets are the sole reason i’m alive and now only one is still drawing breath; i can’t adopt or rescue another because it hurts too much when they leave permanently so i don’t think i’ll be around long after this one is goes.

I loved that show because I identified w jimmy as someone whose ambitions/aspirations where openly thwarted by those he cared about and was devoted to but kept the open secret from him. I hated chuck because it was clear he was acting on a desire for familial revenge; but then the writers in the last season made it clear that Jimmy is always in the wrong so now I just have ambivalent feelings about a show I loved and then deeply hated in the last 3 episodes

Do something that you can immediately enjoy and it’s sufficiently distracting for you to give you a moment to completely forget about it

Israeli intelligence knew and did nothing at the behest of their masters

Living in Texas had taught me that, if Texas wants it, it is therefore bad.

The fediverse has so little content that it makes it hard to imagine anyone paying for something that gives you less content and participation than any unregistered lurker gets from something like reddit for free

We’re not stupid. We’re scared.

too scared. i very recently spent five years in austin and i learned that the 1) liberal texans are only liberal compared to other texans 2) they readily and easily shrug their shoulders in accepting defeat from institutions that they already know are racist, homophobic, sexist, and classicist and do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING else and 3) will fight and report you to the authorities from those same institutions if you try to do ANYTHING else; my favorite examples are of californians disabling driver-less taxis with traffic cones and new-mexicans pelting short term rentals with eggs and bologna, meanwhile liberal austinites will literally call the cops on you if do either of these (ask me how i know).

i bet he’s too smart to run; trump would have been better off if he hadn’t run; and we’d all be better off and biden hadn’t either.
