To dupe them usually requires preying on their fear or anger.
You push them to the edge too far they’ll do something stupid. To their kids, to others etc. The pressure must relieve from somewhere. I don’t want to be responsible for that. Look at anti-vaxx rhetoric. Look at my pillow guy etc.
Like what sort of propaganda was maga girl saying? What hateful things about trans or immigrants etc.?
They truly are easy to grift lol. Tempting to jump onboard this gravy-train of cash, too, if not for the fact that it ultimately contributes to fucking society over even more
I’m still honestly shocked that Orban just kind of ceded without a fight. No challenging results? No hard or soft coup? He’s been in power for decades and was clearly one sick and corrupt fuck… So to abdicate power like that… It just doesn’t track with me.
Lo, I suppose cowardice is hereditary in this case?
Billionaires learned yachts are less risky and harder to trace than Epstein island(s).
Only 33% of U.S. adults approve of Trump’s overall job performance, down slightly from 38% last month.
Say wha? That’s not slightly. That’s a massive drop and breaking the barrier.
That’s worse than Carter’s low by 4 pts and outside the MoE.
Indeed patsies real and fake certainly aren’t a new concept. JFK and the Unspeakable, and sepately Point of Impact were well written and entirely plausible.
It’s probably also more difficult to find a significant difference because women overall tend to be significantly better educated and more liberal from the outset.
It’s also just reporting the findings of a study, which also tracks.
Breaking News: Conservatives tend to be dumber; more at 11!
At LEAST blame Republicans, not Trump.
That Democrats waste time pointing the finger at Trump means Republicans get to reset after this like they aren’t fully fucking complicit and responsible for promoting Trump to power. And yes, those pro-Israel Dem representatives deserve a portion of blame as well.
Mike Johnson is not Catholic. He’s a Christian Nationalist Protestant Evangelical piece of shit. They don’t even have to pretend to give a fuck about the Pope.
Haven’t heard much from Steyer lately since I think 2020 run? For a billionaire I remember liking him at least over Biden. I honestly haven’t paid much attention to the gubernatorial race there.
I think I’d bet money I did, in fact.
Odds even better from a brand-spankin’ new 1-month-old account, LOL. Got that classic false equivalence both sides wedge-driving scent, even!
Looks, Acts, Quacks, Helps a Republican!
Must be a Republican.
Slava Ukraini ;)
Found the Republican.
I also truly hope the uncommitted No Vote / Third Party voters complicit in his election (I think I’ll call them Maga-lite at this point) have learned a thing or two since last election, too.
Register and Vote Democrat come November. Vote in Dem primaries right now if you want to alter the composition of the Democratic banner.
It’s okay. If I understand right, this doesn’t matter 'cuz some combination of Her Laugh and Gaza trump literally anything and all else, combined or something – at least that’s according to the No-Vote/Third-Party voters partially complicit in Trump’s reelection.
Or wait, are they now on the, “Dems would’ve done this too!1!”?
FYI to others: I have this tankie from Lemmy.ml tagged as believing China doesn’t ban images of Xi as Winnie the Pooh, lol.
All I ever see them be is antagonistic, sowing apathy, defeatism, or trying to egg people with stochastic rhetoric (but never themselves, of course).
Beautifully coincides with May Day: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Workers'_Day
I thought 10,000 Trumps theory was Trump is a useful figurehead, a lightning rod of a sort for the 10,000 lobbyists controlling him behind the scenes. Hence all the contradictions. He just parrots the highest bidder in the moment. Israel, Russia, Bannon, Kushner, Saudis, Musk, etc.
