At some point, we need to have a conversation about the fact that social media has gotten everyone so accustomed to performance and optics that we now judge actions based on how they'd look if a hypothetical audience were to view them in bad faith rather than whether they're actually good or bad

That Graham Platner clip that's floating around today is literally what I was saying on here just a few days ago.
He's right. Believing half the country -- a hundred million people! -- are all emotionless psychopaths might feel cathartic, but it isn't accurate. They're in a cult.

I have to say, as this has all gone on, I think my view on the MAGA crowd has evolved a lot, and I really do see it as a true cult.
I've had a lot of conversations with people where I live about their experience of leaving it, and I think we underestimate how insulated they are from the truth.

I think a lotta people who live in cities don't realize how spotty internet access can get out in rural areas. Imagine if your entire information pipeline was Fox News or other propaganda outlets, with no reliable way to fact check what they're telling you.

To clarify, in case one of my friends see this and is like "???", obviously I do have ABDL friends and I like them a lot - I just mean this in terms of how I interact w/ the community broadly. I get kinda uncomfortable if I'm not a little unapproachable and insulated.
You know, it's weird - I always enjoy having ABDL friends, it's nice having people I can "take the mask off" around, but I think I also feel a pretty strong urge to keep the community at arm's length. I like posting to it, but I also like being able to set it down and disengage when I want to.

So, to summarize, the Epstein files do exist and are sitting on Pam Bondi's desk to be reviewed but also they don't exist and never did exist and why do we keep talking about them anyway what about Hunter's laptop but also they DO exist and were written by Obama and Hillary? Am I getting that right?

They're happy to dismantle their own democracy if it means pissing off the people they think deserve it
They're the Cutting Off Your Nose to Spite Your Face Party

I'd like to check out more ABDL Discord servers, but am afraid of A) minors on servers that aren't well-moderated and B) getting a bunch of DMs and unwanted engagement from people looking for a caretaker.

I feel like making a group server for your friends and then hanging out with half those friends in a cliquey little side server for the "real" friends is one of the most embarrassing things I see adults do. Just some real highschooler behavior.

Been a while since I broke out the whining account, but man, sometimes being a caretaker is such a meatgrinder. People show up and get close to you and you get close back, there's a real parental, caring vibe, it gets intimate, and then they hop to the next caretaker and you're like "Oh, okay"

Is there anything more American than picking a guy who looks like beef jerky and sounds like he died last week as your chief health dude, and then him immediately getting on TV and going DRINK BEEF TALLOW YOU HAVE TO FILL YOURSELF WITH THE DELICIOUS FAT OF A SUCKLING CALF

There's a part of me that thinks Elon only got into all this MAGA stuff because he thinks of himself as the smartest guy in the room, and he wanted to find rooms where that was actually true.
The fact that they're idiots is a feature, not a bug to him, 'cause it makes them all think he's a genius.

“I don’t mind being one of 10 Democrats who said, no, there’s a deeper principle at stake here, which is reverence for this institution,” Himes said after the vote, adding that lawmakers need to act “with the decorum and with the civility that says to the world that we are a serious country.”

We have to get the waste, fraud, and abuse out of government. That's why I've empowered Elon Musk, who receives $8 million per day and has devoured almost $40 billion taxpayer dollars over his career via govt subsidies and bailouts, to fire random workers making 40k/year.

I am already so weary of hearing Trumpers go "This isn't what we voted for! Focus on America!!"
He was very clear his entire campaign about his stance on Gaza, tariffs, destroying govt domestically, Ukraine - Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it isn't what you voted for.
