There are three great documentaries on this phenomenon: God and Country, Bad Faith, and Shiny Happy People. 

I grew up in part in Oklahoma, which was the canary in the coal mine for this kind of batshittery, thanks in part to the Gaylord family, whose fucking name is all over so much shit in Oklahoma it's not even funny.  

Heh. You said gaylord. Heh heh. 

Yeah, but that name is no joke. They bought up most of the media in Oklahoma and used it to push right-wing influence over the past few decades. Their names are all over everything, including the University of Oklahoma football stadium. Between them and the Green family (owners of Hobby Lobby), Oklahoma is thoroughly bought and paid for.

I expect that we'll see clear results in this election, because at the end of the day people will vote for selfish reasons, even if they pretend to care about topics like the economy. The Republicans' problem is their messaging which can't please men and women alike when it comes to voting for completely selfish reasons.

For men, their pitch is that they'll piss off the people who piss them off. That's the bottom line of it, it is that primitive and it works, because a lot of men are that primitive. Someday on the internet someone who they associate with the left has said mean things to them.

For women, their message is that Mexico is sending rapists, people who poison the blood of the USA. And once they've raped the women, Trump will make sure that birth is being given to these babies, whether the women like it or not.

The above is what sticks in this highly incoherent campaign.



Legend11 correctly predicted that GTA IV will outsell Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I was wrong.

Supposed satire that hits shockingly close to home:

It is largely the abortion ban Imo but probably worth mentioning that older folks tend to prefer the status quo and January 6th was very much an attempt to overthrow the American government and I imagine a lot of older folk are still pissed off about that and the uncertainty/chaos that Trump brings. That's I assume part of the reason why in the Iowa poll it shows older folk moving towards Harris too.

Trump consistently reminds women how sexist he is too.

Harris ground game is insane, can't say they aren't trying absolutely everything and taking anything for granted.

There is no longer any formal relationship between the U.S. Green Party and the European Greens across the pond, in part because of key differences in policy around Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, so the statement is just a plea rather than a binding resolution. In their letter, the Europeans highlighted the connection between Trump’s “authoritarianism” and his close relationships with right-wing leaders Viktor Orbán, Vladimir Putin, and Jair Bolsonaro, arguing that electing Trump would embolden anti-democratic actions around the globe.

Further, they also argued that by taking away votes from Harris and allowing a Trump win, Stein will not be able to help “bring about a just and sustainable peace in the Middle East,” an issue in which the U.S. Green Party candidate has staked her 2024 campaign upon.

European Green Party representatives from Italy, Ireland, Spain, and 13 other countries across the continent came together to sign onto a letter asking the U.S. Green Party’s Stein to withdraw her candidacy and endorse Democrat Kamala Harris for the sake of democracy.

“Right now, the race for the White House is too close for comfort,” wrote the French and Austrian co-chairs of the coalition in a statement released Friday. “We are clear that Kamala Harris is the only candidate who can block Donald Trump and his anti-democratic, authoritarian policies from the White House.”

She doesn't give a fuck about any actual green policies because she's simply a spoiler candidate designed to hurt Democrats with no actual chance of coming anywhere close to any sort of power and she knows that. She only shows up every 4 years and vanishes in-between then, she has no interest in governing. She's a useful idiot for Russia as well, or a Russian puppet.

European Greens are 100% correct.
