Most of the people who think Trump should drop out have been loudly opposing him for a long time. There isn't just one single thing they object to, no great unifying theme they can point at and say "This is why he should not run," because Everything about him is a reason why he should absolutely not be president. Even his Felony conviction is, while perhaps more than a drop, just a splash in the bucket of what should be utterly career ending circumstances.

The people who still support Trump don't care about any of that. They're not going to suddenly see one particular turn-off and decide that's it, that's why Trump should back out. They're committed, in too deep, they can't back down now because it would mean the Libs were actually right all along, and that presents, to them, an existential threat. And in the end, it's the Republican way.

When Democrats, even popular ones, fuck up, other Democrats are much more likely to turn on them, to call for and get resignations. With Republicans, that's almost unheard of. Republicans take Part Unity to an extreme, circling the wagons and assuming a full defensive position no matter how incredibly abhorrent the crime, no matter how blatant the evidence. Today we're seeing the perfect example. Biden fucked up a debate, stumbling over his own words like an old man well past his prime, and the party is calling for him to step down. Trump has built his whole political career on stumbling over his own words, with the only cogent statements he manages being blatant lies, and his people would rather murder their neighbors than see him lose.

People who have sex with people just because they enjoy it already exist. It's not new and it won't meaningfully increase just because a society becomes currencyless.

Without an economic incentive, sex workers will stop existing entirely. It won't be work, and they won't have any need to do it. They won't be compelled to have sex with you just because you have money now. There will still be people at a bar, club, or whatever who will have sex with someone they like for little or no reason, but again, that's not new.

What, it wasn't enough to just gesture meaningfully at the state of the entire godamn planet when looking for reasons why aliens might want to avoid us?

With dev plans like these, who can be surprised that their games weren't immediately runaway successes? This sort of shit is why nobody trusts new Tribes games. It's barely even into Early Access and they've all but abandoned it.

Yeah I'm sure that'll... help? Israel is the one dropping airstrikes on refugee camps, what makes anyone think they actually want any aid in Gaza at all?

Meanwhile: "Good isn't perfect, so fuck that and fuck you."

Too many people are all too ready to say that improvement isn't enough, it has to be a perfect and complete solution or else what was the point.

Biden could release a PSA asking people not to jump off of cliffs onto sharp rocks, because Gravity is real and it would be dangerous. Republicans would campaign on a pro-sharp-rocks policy saying it's your right to jump off of a cliff if you want to, and the new right-wing meme would be photos of people posed as corpses on piles of rocks.

I just don't want them in our schools. Pointing particle accelerators at my kids makes me nervous.
