I am a cisgender heteronormative white Appalachian man with no college degree or real economic prospects.

My views might be summarized as "you don't have to help another man up but for the love of God stop holding him down."
Folks reminder that those fishermen his team is gleefully celebrating the deaths of are almost certainly mostly Christian.

I don't like the use of "knocked out of her hands" when the dude snatched it from her and was holding it.

Everyone should read this list at least once, if for no other reason when they recognize the fascists try to call these tactics "terrorism" to justify using violence against them.

I am a white man from and in Appalachian Ohio of approaching middle age with nothing more the a high school diploma and no economic prospects.

Looks hideous to me and all my near kin and friends but there are folks who have convinced themselves it looks good.

Small silver lining, this is somewhat two way because resources they devote to you aren't being used on others.

I ain't got much but I sent $25.

So potentially a disruptive toxic minority DOES live among us after all, and it seems to be the group absolutely ate up with obsessing over disruptive toxic minorities and pointing their finger everywhere else.

In my experience scolding folks who won't vote for your candidate over some deal breaker or other is less about strategy and more about you trying to protect your own decision to vote for them, the energy is better spent talking to other folks.

For folks struggling with the "what could I be doing" dilemma I suggest reading this list, taking not of what you are already doing, what jumps out at you as thing you'd like to be doing, and the others that made you think of friends you could do it with.

It is hard for folks to recognize what they thought was a rational fear was just a new version of superstition.

Plausible.

55% total of my type went that direction in 2024, 59% of the men and 51% of the women.

It was 54% in 2016, 55% in 2020.

Denial is odd for them to engage in. We counted.

Black support went from 6% to 15% in that same time, Hispanic 28% to 48%.

So worst grade still goes to us. Measurably.

If folks are drawing a blank on "what could me and my friends be doing" here is a partial list of ideas.

I would think the response to discovering you had an "accidental" nahzeh tattoo would be to immediately game plan how we're getting this shit removed or altered.

I have said from the beginning of him carving pieces off of Georgia that accepting it as normal that a nuclear armed state gets to carve pieces of their neighbors you've told the whole world to rush to arms or join alliances possibly under unfair terms because of the looming sword of Damocles.

I can say those types existed in libertarian/survivalist internet spaces twenty years ago and we used to sus them out for banning by the coy dog whistles that have become just normal republican talking points like white genocide and "the poor white south africans!"

chan/stormfront type language.

My personal favorite suggestion is that every year all workers and tenants vote if they want to have a union.
