I heard he was emperor and got ready to see how that looked. Then I watched the trailer featuring MANY MANY SHOTS OF THE WHITE EMPEROR WHO DENZEL DISLIKES and wondered how easy it must be to run a right-wing grifter YouTube channel.

Are you saying that you don't think anyone will actually be seriously affected by Trump winning and that I'm just making it up so I can virtue signal? Seriously? Why is your grasp of politics based on reducing any possible distinction between results?

Both options will involve genocide. One involves Project 2025.

Are you assuming that I only care about how things affect me personally, or that it would be more normal if I did?

"I should have been your Adam, instead I am your Bradley" It's a classic line. Read the literature, people.

Not really. Does it need to be about that? Me, personally? I don't think it's about that, or that it should be about that.

I don't WANT it to be true, and I'm completely prepared for it to be true. But it's weird how tied this all seems to be to one news source.

Yeah she isn't, like, evil or needing cancellation. She's just generally considered to be a crappy person in the normal way.

It also surrounds her with other supernatural types, when the Addams are built around living in a community with suburban normies.

It gets even weirder when you include the way monsters can be class-coded. Vampires are famously tied to wealth and inherited status, when meanwhile a lot of Lovecraft monsters are "degenerate" folks from rural areas. See also murder-hillbillies, although they are at least biologically human.

I remember the one where Mr. Munster joins the local watch or something and is hunting a suspect based on everyone thinking the "weird guy" they saw was suspicious. The joke is that he doesn't realize that he's the weird guy. When I think of that in this context it does seem symbolic.

You keep asking me why you would bother with any of the facts or what they have to do with anything. You can scroll up and see when you did that. You don't seem to grasp why I care about the actual true facts here.

It could have been minimized by Trump losing, too. I guess if you see everything less than great as equally bad then all presidents do look the same, though.

Fine, but it's also bad how many people's political strategy was "refusing to vote for less than perfect and then being shocked by getting much, much worse than that"

Well, if you care about facts, then everything. This is considered by many people to be the important thing.

The actual real information, and not people's feelings. Because knowing real facts is more important than openly saying you prefer how you felt at the start and then making off-topic ad hominems? You could just... learn a new fact and then absorb but you seem not to have even considered it.

I didn't say anything about what you are allowed or not allowed to do. WHY don't you want to talk about what this is really about, though? Why do you want to ACTIVELY AVOID discussing the facts here? Don't you feel weird insisting on that? I'm seriously amazed that you want to avoid what it's about.

Your point was specifically that there was only one reason for people condemning him. The response was specifically that there were multiple reasons. Your feelings are unrelated, of course.

You said people were judging him based on one single comment. People pointed out that there were other factors. You DID ACKNOWLEDGE this, but called it "the lore" and acted like it didn't count or something. I already said this, and your replies were -lol display name -lol call me fascist Remember?

See what I mean? You didn't know the full facts, said something incorrect, and then someone explained the missing details. You couldn't just accept that. You're doing this instead, and you think these empty stock answers are the same as making a point.

It sounds like you might as well admit that you never cared about being correct. It doesn't matter what the truth is, here, because that takes more work than focusing on my display name.

You're calling it "the lore" to avoid calling it a true and relevant factor that you could at least account for now that you've been made "privy"

Don't worry, there will be another place for these mysterious Hamas operatives to hide, right up until Israel levels the last building in Gaza and tells you that they didn't want to.

That's the kindest interpretation, but if the guy is sitting behind a 12-year-old then they probably aren't competing too much for legroom, right?

The cops aren't around today on mine, so everything is completely calm and if you don't happen to notice the tents over by one building you would think the protesters went home. Yesterday the cops WERE there and, somehow, there was less law and less order.
