Average GOP podcast appearance: “we must begin an era of national cleansing, and just so no one in the woke media misinterprets that let me just state that I am a huge fan of Hitler” Average Dem Podcast appearance: “I ❤️ Credit Cards”

Maybe the only thing more absurd than the right’s self-radicalization via facebook is that Democrats think that the more deranged their opposition becomes, the more important comity and collaboration become because they think this makes them look better to hypothetical voters they 100% made up

Still amazed that the right has voluntarily driven itself insane via its own deranged propaganda and convinced themselves that this power grab is necessary because they honestly believe Joe Biden is a Maoist

Pretty clear that the Federalist Society project to take over the courts for the far right is the most successful and consequential political effort in history. Only took them a few decades. Meanwhile, Dems are like "Let's not be hasty, blue slips serve an important function in preserving comity."

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

While I don’t doubt that they endorse this view, the court did just strike a blow to the J6 prosecutions so a more accurate summation would be that law just doesn’t apply to conservatives.

No I think that even the “normal” GOP justices think Dems are all Stalinists so even they don’t like Trump personally they want to protect him from prosecution because they believe he ultimately had his heart in the right place even if he is a bit uncouth

Not only do they know Dems would never even dream of abusing this newfound power, they know Dems won’t even attempt to rhetorically rein them in. It’s also a complete acknowledgment that the court will be an accessory in an upcoming attempt to invalidate election results if Biden wins

In addition to being immoral and reprehensible, the political calculus here is so stupid. Anti-trans lunatics are a fringe movement and they are so solidly GOP that not a single one would ever vote Biden

You can get a wide range of results including click through rate in real time. 14 days is obviously more comprehensive but so many views come in the first 2 weeks that I want to settle the thumbnail as quickly as I can

They want to claim that they get to inherit the legacy of Rome by virtue of their race (which in itself isn’t even a direct connection) because all these losers know they will never actually do anything in their life to truly merit it

If Dems had half the ratfucking capacity that the GOP does, they would be working overtime to creat sock puppet accounts talking about how since Dems were able to steal 2020 even with Trump as POTUS, then they will be able to do it again in 2024 with Biden in office. The only solution is to vote RFK

The seeds for this are already there in their embrace of the confederacy, something that was once just confined to the south. But every active republican under the age of 30 is an open nazi and this won’t get any better as long as musk owns twitter

I don't want some egghead bureaucrat telling me whether there's poison in the water I drink. Ideally I'd want that decided by a 29yo judge who went to a "biblical law school" and does not believe dinosaurs existed, and then to have that decision reaffirmed six years later by the Supreme Court.
