You are not suffering from "Trump Derangement Syndrome", you are struggling to overcome "Autocratic Despair" - which happens everywhere an Autocracy is trying to take root.
Also, really into the Green Bay Packers.

I'm learning how to make these reels in order to advertise my monthly event where we talk about aspects of Authoritarianism.

It's only broken in the "can't get it hard" sense. He can pee just fine and is still capable of all the tricks he took from the "Puppetry of the Penis" show.

Whitehouse is a pretty astute individual. I’m going to choose to be;ieve this is just some nuanced sarcasm rather than a craven admission these people have his balls in a vice.

Neglected to mention “who can’t fuck because of his broken dick” in his Musk description. Why you’d leave that out is beyond me.

Maidan worked.
Trump’s not anything but magic to 35% of the voters. He cannot be evaluated in those terms.
JD Vance & the rest of them? — Buncha fucking dorks.

Gotta appeal to the “publicly for the regime, but privately against the regime” group if you are going to create a bandwagon effect.
You need that key demo to see themselves in the protesters & that key demo is 40-65 year-old men.
If you have a better way to invite them in, I’m all ears.

Tell people to wear church clothes to protests. It’s the only way to invite the 40-65 demographic that’s needed to create a bandwagon effect.
Eliminates the “Antifa” & the “jobless w/nothing better to do” dismissive narrative in one fell swoop to see 24 year olds wearing suits & ties/long skirts

It’s impossible for an Authoritarian regime to root itself in with a robust controlled opposition. You think Jill Stein fits that requirement? I don’t. You think they are trying to cut corners? Costs less than you’d think & the ROI is pretty incredible.

I don't see who is going to stop him short of the Almighty.
Slight chance a skilled MAGA vigilante stops him - but only for stealing so much spotlight from Donny T. That'd put a nice bow on this era in US History.

Nobody ever talks about the Boogaloo Boys any more, but I'm 100% certain you can find photos from 2020 where these guys are wearing Hawaiian Shirts.

I suspect that he had two Bible grifts going with different manufacturers and neither one was willing to pony up to be the one he touched & he chose neither - like when he endorsed "Eric" as Senator in the Missouri Primary.
That or just an f-u to the idea John Roberts has any power over him at all.

I'm in the same boat -- I sent you this invite to an event to post on your Facebook page for those of us afflicted with a sense that there has to be some sort of mistake happening. Love to have you posting this here/there or both as you have many more followers.

The audiobook was something else, too. Sharlet has a cool voice & cadence.

You ever feel like your time at The Intercept kinda helped this along in some way, Ken? Horseshoe left, Red/Brown alliance & all?

Still seems like 3 of 4 new followers is a pretty classy Malaysian woman in her mid to late 20’s. Not my demo in real life as far as I can gather living in Green Bay, WI.
But at least the usernames don’t have 6-8 integers appended to them, so it seems like progress.

Mace’s normalized dehumanization of transgendered Americans allows people to look the other way when they are targeted for violence. It isn’t leadership.
The transgendered are American Citizens & entitled to all the rights & respect of any other American Citizen.
Do not look away.

He’s objectively not a failed comedian. You may not care for what he does, but he found himself an audience & is much more successful than his talent — which is the furthest thing from failure.
Even used to be an interesting listen until he got psy-opted into becoming a conduit for the psy-op.

My understanding was that he stopped somewhere because he missed his opportunity to kill Ferdinand & as he exited - Ferdinand was unexpectedly nearby.

15 in 7 years for the Packers, but lost only 10. He’s a great RB. The fumbling this season is terrible, but he wasn’t a problem ever. 2 in 1 game, much less a half is insanity. Does he have the yips?

At no point in Aaron Jones’ career in football has he ever been a liability for the team on which he plays. He’s unlikely to fumble again in his career. Strange things can happen, but I watched every game he played for the Packers & you should TREASURE the man.

At what point do we finally recognize that her insistence on capturing consistent scorn is just her way of satisfying her humiliation fetish.

I’m convinced that the reason he has so many TV hosts in his cabinet is that they are the only people in his orbit that he ever actually listens to. Any in-person conversation with Trump would be 99% Trump talking or interrupting.

what if he’s staying so close to Trump because he feels he has reason to need Secret Service protection?

The question is: Why would this be a fireable offense in the Trump inner circle?
The answer is: It isn't, but sometimes the new handler (Elon) has to put the old handler (Epshteyn) on notice about who is handling the asset now.

influencers get paid for engagement on Twitter and they’ve got motive to ensure it continues, plus there is that old saw about not ceding the battle space. Blue Sky is a nice respite for those of us that knew we needed to quit Twitter, but couldn’t see how.

Chris - we’re not gonna “end up” there at all. anywhere people are pointing out what the Authoritarian regime is doing is going to be banned or hobbled by an influx of bad actors & bots.
blue sky is a pleasant break, but it’s still subject to capture and that will happen.

The good news is that old Donnie no doubt learned a lot from the last one!

Best case scenario you are an inadequate researcher that sure doesn’t mind socializing with some people that are not on the level.
I think it’s more intentional than that, but that shouldn’t matter because you know who you are in your heart Mike.

He wrote a book full of misinformation on it. I'd say he inadvertently ran interference for it, but if you examine his network it is pretty clear it was intentional.
