Also, if we’re being blunt, the purpose of nonviolent resistance isn’t to avoid getting your ass kicked. It’s to dare them to kick your ass as brutally and publicly as possible.

This is a great idea and we should expand it to cover *all* of the justices of the Supreme Court, and then we could see who did unethical stuff like "attended the Grammys" or "bankrolled by a billionaire white supremacist donor who collects Nazi memorabilia" or "married to a January 6th plotter" or
So absurd — with all the corruption on the supreme court, @MarshaBlackburn wants Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson investigated for going to the Grammys, because they said mean stuff about her puppet master’s goons

I like how he says it’s the “most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House”, implying there were less racist things.

i always love it when liberals critique me for being part of some leftist hive mind when like, I voted exclusively for Democrats. I told other people I thought it was best to vote for Democrats.
The Democrats lost. And they didn't lose because leftists refused to vote for them.

I am not going to repost the vile and racist image that Trump posted last night of President & First Lady Obama because it is beyond disgusting. Trump is a vile racist as is every Republican that continues to support him. I don’t want to hear mumbling from Mike Johnson or stoic silence from Thune.

This is definitely not true of all religions, and it's not even true of all Christian sects lmao
Every religion appears to give its adherents permission to believe they are the chosen ones, and the non-believes are infidels not worthy of respect.
The same traits as fascism, basically, which is why the likes of JD Vance believe their religion endorses their supremacist beliefs.

IMO part of the reason is that they think progressivism inevitably leads to things like these ICE/CBP abuses; that is, to be more specific about what exactly the "obvious error in their thinking" is, IMO it's that—that they (erroneously) think progressivism lead to the very thing you're against

It’s really crazy! They rotate between “These liberals are helping us fight ICE! They’re our friends!” and “These liberals keep saying reactionary stuff! We knew they were betrayers all along!” in 24 hour cycles. And somehow never figure out the obvious error in their thinking

Harris made definite missteps and took some horrible positions. Sexism and racism also played a role. Why can't both be (obviously) true lol
Imagine thinking Kamala’s problem was misogyny lol.
She was a dipshit who tripled down on Biden’s ineptness. The cherry ontop was that she had the personality of drywall.

Kamala Harris ran a good, very aggressive campaign, but started at a significant deficit, and ran headlong into a ocean of misogyny, which has continued to dog her even more post-election, now that people feel empowered to say what they REALLY think about her

It's true that Mamdani is a skilled improviser but that's counterintuitively a result of his superior preparation — spending time and energy to hone your speaking style, memorize talking points etc frees up cognitive load to notice and react to what's around you instead of thinking about what to say
Dude is such a natural and charismatic communicator. Something occurs that would make someone else stumble or lose focus and he just rolls it into his speech almost like it was prepared. That takes not just talent but instinct.
Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”
Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.
