Even wilder because the GOP is full of unserious people; I remember some republican being pressed by a reporter on a bill that he had just voted on, and he had no idea what the issue at stake or context even was and said something like “good thing you don’t need to take a test to do this job” 🤡
yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.
Right.
If you want a good explanation of why the American system of government worked well enough for 200 years and then suddenly stopped, it's because Republicans in Congress suddenly started letting their partisan interests COMPLETELY override their institutional interests

I’m at Times Square, where an emergency “No War On Venezuela” protest just took to the street. Easily a thousand people here in real-feel 20°F weather.
“No more coups, no more wars, Venezuela’s not yours!”
“No boots on the ground no bombs in the air, U.S. out of everywhere!”

Something that helped me during T***p 1 was doing small acts of goodness in the face of so much I could not change. I even got into the paper for it, which seemed to get more people doing it. Something small led to something…medium.

To be fair the time was early 2017 but “we are invading and occupying a nation without cause” is clear removal time

This person went on a buying spree over the past 24 hours. Fresh wallet. Only existed since Dec 27th and has only bet on Venezuela-related markets.

Paul Graham has been having a several months long “Are we the baddies?” moment on X.
Here he concedes that people have had their fears come to pass when it comes to tech billionaires misusing their wealth to capture political power.

Fascists fundamentally misunderstand the politics of artists, of fashion, of self-expression, because they do not respect them and they are obsessed with conformity.
They do this a lot. In the same way that they insist all feminists are ugly, and that's why they're feminists. It's bullshit.

There are only 45 million foreign-born people living in the United States right now, about half of whom are naturalized citizens. So this ridiculous edge-lord post by taxpayer-funded trolls is suggesting deporting 55 million native-born citizens.
This should not be shrugged aside. They have stopped with the fake 22 million illegal immigrants things and are flat out saying we want to deport 10's of millions of citizens and legal residents from "third world countries" Basically they are advocating removing 1/3 of the population on a gov site.
