Politics and culture with a bit of technology. I know a good bit about two of those things, and imma get real weird about it.

If only there was an opposition party in Florida that could capitalize on this brazen corruption that happens to be a shining example of Republican values.

It's... almost like the average person has NO IDEA how "the economy" actually works, but they think it's BAD, and they just mindlessly blame whoever's President. It's a big riddle wrapped in an enigma how one could make the economy "good", but we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas!

Honest to god, if all it takes is the decision of ONE dude to "wreck" OR "boom" our economy, it's not much of an "free market economy", is it?

If one could actually "defeat" an idea, you'd think that there would be no concept more "defeated" than when we beat fascism in 1945. That did... not turn out to be the case.

Lots of deranged shit today from this creature, but this one has to take it. "The President is looking into it"!? He doesn't. That's not how. What the shit?

Ever since Obama, I've never been able to watch Democratic politicians or take what they say seriously - and this is the underlying data as to why. The empty "manufacturing" talking point was always a twisted, nationalist lie.

The depressing thing is that we could have figured this all out around 25 years ago. The system as it is currently comprised is really, really shitty at judging who we should put in charge. It's systemic, not personal. And that is extremely resistant to change.

Socrates: "What do you mean by 'illegal ideas'?" ICE Agent: "Ideas that are against the law." Socrates: "So you believe the government should determine which ideas are legal?" ICE Agent: "Of course." Socrates: "So you think the Constitution is illegal?" ICE Agent: "Just drink the hemlock."

These are the stupidest fucking people on the planet and it gets more embarrassing every day that @democrats.org struggle in ANY election anywhere against them.

Good lord, but can we just collectively admit that "the elites" are just as stupid as the rest of us and that we're nowhere close to having any kind of "meritocracy"? I dream of us having that epiphany every night.

I'm less worried about the man himself, and more concerned with the people who prop up his every utterance as if it were normal. Those people are so sociopathic, I have trouble wrapping me head around them actually existing.
