man. if Eric Schmitt's speech to NatCon isn't a sign of the times, i don't know what is
!["America is not a 'universal nation.' ... [American] principles are not abstractions. They are living, breathing things — rooted in a people and embodied in a way of life."
Senator Eric Schmitt got a standing ovation at Nat Con DC for saying America as a nation is the property of a distinct ethnic people.
Americans are a mix of “the most adventurous, the most courageous, the most curious and innovative” of the English, Scotch-Irish, and continental Europeans, who came as settlers and have spent hundreds of years building, fighting, and dying for "a homeland for themselves and their descendants."
"We’re a nation of settlers, explorers, and pioneers — born on the ocean waters that carried the first ships to our shores and forged in the crucible of a wild frontier. Our people tamed a continent, built a civilization from the wilderness, and wrote our nation’s name in history.
"Our ancestors were driven here by destiny, possessed by urgent and fiery conviction, by burning belief, devoted to their cause and their God."
"The Continental Army soldiers dying of frostbite at Valley Forge, Pilgrims struggling to survive in the hard winter soil of Plymouth, pioneers striking out from Missouri for the wild and dangerous frontier, [and] outnumbered Kentucky settlers, repelling wave after wave of Indian war band attacks from behind their stockade walls, would be astonished to hear that they were only fighting for a 'proposition.'
"They believed they were forging a nation — a homeland for themselves and their descendants."
"America, in all its glory, is their gift to us, handed down across the generations.
"It belongs to us. It’s our birthright, our heritage, our destiny.
"If America is everything and everyone, then it is nothing and no one at all."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreif3x7re3lubuj7kzurj3ayotcnq2l46kwb2p5hp2zid2dagzth5nu@jpeg)

Another great (actually awful) aspect of the right being products of 4chan and qanon is that they use obscure memes and hide 1488 references in social media releases and if you try to explain that everyone looks at you like a crazy person because "no normal person would use hidden code like this"
i don't think it's great that DHS is posting obscure New Right memes

I'm going live on Twitch at 6pm CST to start my first playthrough of Hollow Knight. As much as everyone hypes it up, I figured it was time to give it a shot. See y'all there!

Trump: "Vladimir Putin said something- one of the most interesting things. He said 'your election was rigged because you have mail in voting. It's impossible to have mail in voting & have honest elections.' He said that to me because we talked about 2020. He said, 'you won that election by so much'"

This is exactly the right take. Personally, this continued attempt to curry favor with moderate Republicans by throwing trans people under the bus has made me disillusioned with any candidate that isn't explicitly progressive or democratic socialist.
Gavin Newsom and Buttigege both seemingly want to be the American Keir Starmer, and Americans sympathetic to that pitch should glance over at how things are going across the pond

"What matters more than your aversion to calling Israel’s actions “genocide” is the fact that a genocide is happening. Stop verbalizing your moral impulses out of existence by hemming and hawing about whether a genocide is a genocide."

Exactly. This is how you get an economy that will be visibly failing while the numbers coming out will claim everything is hunky dory. It's infuriating to me that people fell for this man's bull. Donald Trump is he worst of what the US has to offer, and no one is seriously trying to stop him.
Trump fired the head of the Bureau of Labor statisti s. This is the end of being able to trust the data from the federal government on employment, GDP, or any other critical information. They will only want to produce information that pleases Trump, not the truth. This is how you get a failed state.
