Can America reverse the xenophobic racist policies of this administration and this Congress? The midterms will provide an indication, but TBH I think Pandora’s Box has been opened. This may be what America has become.

Yes, good strategy. It doesn’t matter if many in flyover states are flying Confederate flags. They won’t see the hypocrisy.

I wonder if you can recommend a book or two exploring the instersection of American radical-right thought and Christianity belief.

And quit pretending to balance the federal budget on the backs of the most vulnerable and needy and improverished people in the United States. We see what you’re playing at.

Interesting but wholly immaterial to my point, which is directed at MAGAs who defend Netanyahu’s genocidal attacks against Palestinians in Gaza.

It’s amazing to me that MAGA Americans by and large conflate Israel’s right to exist and Netanyahu’s brutal policies in Gaza.
People, you can support israel’s right to existence and simultaneously oppose Netanyahu. Lots of Israelis do that too.

Yes, well, I had a suit made to measure for a wedding (not mine). I love the longer coat, higher-waisted trousers, and the fabric. Every man should pursue his dreams!

America is very much in a MAGA state of mind. I don’t think we can move forward without fully acknowledging where we are now as a nation.

This is America. Ignorance is King. The majority of voters support it. We elected it. It seems like we’re in an inevitable Death Spiral into dictatorship.

What I mean is that I have been naive. Naivety is dangerous. My mistake.

My colossal error was assuming that the inevitability of social progress would smother this twisted philosophy. Big mistake! It’s as vital now as it ever was.
Social progress isn’t inevitable. It must be worked toward and earned. I am a slow learner and overly optimistic.

“Anglo-Saxon Christianity” is still with us in 2025, stronger than ever and just as ugly.

Again Republicans sacrifice the most vulnerable Americans on their altar of greed and selfishness.

I am a Sonics fan. I am rooting against the Thunder for obvious reason.

I feel inadequate if I haven’t formed an opinion on every single political/economic/social/medical/scientific/sports/entertainment/art issue in the news. Everyone else has! 😅

Conversely, right-wingers encourage their constituents to have larger families, which means buying more dolls.

Republicans - sacrificing the most vulnerable people in America and reducing the taxes on the wealthy. Sounds about right.

Mainstream journalism is making good money normalizing mainstream Republican politics.
