A whole party of people barred from entering their local Arby’s

They do not have the capacity to do what they want. They will get crueler.

This entire movement is more influenced by poor readings of mob movies than anything else. I don’t mean this as a joke in the slightest. The Irishman is one of the most important 21st century texts trying to reconcile with this

America has one of the greatest artistic legacies in human history, second only to maybe the French. And Americans hate it and treat it with suspicion. Now the visigoths are at the gate and they’re going to shit all over your culture because they hate it even more

They are barbarians who despise anything good and true and beautiful. I assume next we are replacing Noseda with Kid Rock because Beethoven is too woke. Welcome to the slop future

“western civilization is saved” i say, while i smash its high cultural artifacts, abandon its ideological mandate, and dismantle its institutional entrenchments

They’re gonna have to fumigate this place in the next admin

November was the MAGA cultural wave cresting, not rising. We’re in the split second where Belloq is in a state of euphoria and awe as he opens the Ark

The blowback to this admin is going to be big and the WH is not ready for it (and will not respond well), but Democratic leaders will also get swept up by it. Whether fair or not to them, politics is primarily emotional, and the Democratic voters are not getting what they want from their leaders

Fun fact we ran this experiment before. You’ll never guess the result

It’s a moral embarrassment that he was eventually re-elected, but we also forgot too quickly he was, after all, the first president to lose reelection in thirty years

A situation in 2028 where a decrepit, deeply unpopular Trump is trying to run for a third term, and they sub him out for the last minute replacement of his VP, would be a fitting and ironic end to this embarrassment

I think there is a very big problem we have to grapple with which is that the median voter is extraordinarily deluded about the working of the world to the point of complete mental incapacity.

A James Bond TV show for a streaming service in 2025 is gonna be insufferable. Just 10 episodes of a guy that doesn't call himself either James Bond or 007 yet and then in the final episode, he orders a martini, shaken not stirred, and we all politely clap and Season 2 takes 5 years to come out

I'm sorry but I'm just not going to be cowering in fear of these clowns. They suck and they are cruel but they are not God.

Become unburdened from what has been

Real Horeshoe theory is all sides of the politics industry are zooted on industrial chemicals all the time and it has thoroughly fried their brains and this magnifies by 1000 if you touch Silicon Valley

Can’t the engineers run some kind of script that auto blocks tankies on here?

Those are all amphetamines, folks

I cannot emphasize enough that the New York City subway is not scary. It’s one of my favorite parts of living here. I grew up in the suburbs having to drive on highways everywhere and that’s way scarier

If Trump is forced to leave office in disgrace, we’re getting a Waco II situation

i think it is cool that de facto first consul of the united states is a drug-addled maniac and deadbeat dad with a breeding fetish

Pointless existence unless you hate America and want to destroy it, in which case he should be your Jesus Christ. And Kentucky didn’t even get any good pork out of it for themselves

Biden WH religiously followed everything MattY wrote for four years, modeled their governing and messaging strategy off it, and the result was leaving office with a 37% approval

They’re going prosecute AOC and when they do, I don’t wane to hear a damn negative word about her on here whether you think she’s too far to the center or too far left. Normal politics are now cancelled until further notice.

What MattY is actually calling for here is functionally the CPC

This guy is straight up one of the actual stupidest people in the Trump orbit. If you eat mercury all day, you’re better suited to advise on the economy

Spies are usually very personable

The future—which I see as clear as crystal in front of me—is Elon arguing gold reserves are bad because they’re hidden away in Fort Knox and the Democrats might steal them, so DOGE needs to eliminate that risk by selling them off first and putting all the money in crypto where it’s On The Blockchain

Everyone is looking for a clean analogy when the truth is Trumpism 2.0 is a post-modern, incoherent, cargo-cult mashup of a bunch of past authoritarian movements. You got Fujimori, John Birch, Peron, Pol Pot, Nazis, Putin, Nixon, Mao, Jacksonian populism. The Pulp Fiction of fascism
