yeah part of why I’m not a fan of the “oh we’re doomed because Dems will never change” attitude is because we literally just saw a major political party taken over and remade from the inside
it was the Republican one

I don't think people have ever hated the Democratic party's values, they've just hated the people who rise to the top of the Democratic pile.
In this the Republicans were pretty far ahead of us with getting Trump and his goons to replace the much-maligned Neocons. Jeb Bush is/was their Schumer.

James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

a core belief of mine is everyone is going to reach a point where things aren’t easy. reality is going to kick you in the face. for me it was grad school when i got a 25% on an exam and realized i had to stop fucking around. shes setting her kid up to crash really hard when things get tough

Saying he’s a “criminal illegal alien & not a firefighter” is meant to make you see him as less than a person.
They do the same thing to disabled people. We’re “useless eaters”.
They want you to view others as expendable so they can commit atrocities

After José's arrest sparked outrage in August, DHS attacked him in a press release, calling him a "criminal illegal alien, not a firefighter." DHS has cited a 12-year-old drug delivery charge while failing to acknowledge the charge was dismissed.

At this point, committing rape is simply a smart career-building move if you’re interested in getting GOP money.
Brand is of course still awating trial on UK rape charges, to which he has pleaded not guilty; this is evidently not an impediment to appearing at gatherings with Republican officials including the vice president and HHS secretary. His trial is currently set for June 2026 www.npr.org/2025/05/30/g...
Russell Brand pleads not guilty to rape, sexual assault charges in U.K.
On Friday, Brand pleaded not guilty to five counts of rape and assault that date back more than 25 years. He says the charges are politically motivated. His trial is set for 2026.

The niece even admitted as much as she and her friends opened boxes for rare pets that could be sold/traded for more currency to place more bets.
