Engineer. Science junkie.
The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

Apotheosis. This strain of fuckery can be traced back to the era of William F. "dirty old racist" Buckley. They've been trying to undo the New Deal using the "other" as a scapegoat for 70+ years. And they have some traction because the opposition is feckless centrists.

I knew the GOP was shit when I was 15, but Nixon was president, so that was an easy call. The segregationist Democrats who were about switch parties were also shit. But Orange Man Bad is worse than all of them out together.

Even the lowest of low information voters know/will know the economy is in the tank. Their 401k statement monthly, Safeway weekly, Jimmy Kimmel daily, remind them. Why then is it your core strategy? "Economy bad, elect other guy" is baked in. What are you doing to motivate the 30% who don't vote?

Gorka should go back to the atavistic ex-empire he crawled out of. If he can't embrace American cultural values, and instead wants to bring us back to George III, he needs to self-deport forthwith and posthaste.

JD Vance, in his twitter tantrum yesterday morning, made it clear that he despises the US Constitution. Due process is so nice they put it in TWICE. (5th and 14th Amendments.)

There's a flow chart in here somewhat. Over confident but slow? -- dunk. Just slow? -- some grace. Plain ignorant? -- look-of-dissapoint.jpg. Willfully ignorant? -- derision and mocking turned up to 11

And dozens more were sent with a) no criminal record and b) no due process. But the Roberts Court is fine with that. There's a lot of impeaching that needs doing.
