Uh oh me thinks Trump is jealous of Carter's media attention. Mortality is also likely weighing heavily on the rotten orange, too.
This is how democracy dies in darkness... Behind paywalls.
Wasn't that really the days of Digg? I can't even remember such eons ago...
I sadly was one of those duped, hot off of reading Atlas Shrugged no less at a more impressionable time in my life. Thank fuck I crawled my way out.
Isn't it kind of funny the party who routinely espouses individual freedumb is like, "let's let states decide!" without recognizing the irony that it's just one more granular step to saying, "let's let each individual woman decide!"
Best way to get the young male vote to be honest. Isn't this part of what made Ron Paul popular?
"from AOC to Dick Cheney to Taylor Swift."
Taylor Swift confirmed more right-wing than Cheney!1!
Vance is just as morally corrupt and full of lies but has a better facade.
Oh for sure. No doubt does Lead exposure (firing ammunition elevates levels), boomer-era leaded gasoline (and modern aircraft), paint, etc. + Traumatic Brain Injuries (CTE) from football + Substance abuse —namely alcohol play a part. Microplastics may very well be the next thing...
It clearly indicates that something is wrong with many Americans.
Sadly I think it indicates systemic failures and Americans are the effect and much less the cause.
What I mean is that a combination of:
- Electoral college & Money in Politics
- Diminishing education standards (e.g., critical-thinking skills, civics, US History)
- "News" media-entertainment that legally spreads disinformation (combined with foreign operatives).
... All culminates in a society that is very easily duped. I talk to Trump supporters all the time and while sure many are simply greedy psychopaths... Many are also just "nice, but kinda dumb" in that they have no capacity to parse fact from fiction and so are easily-grifted targets for lies and choir-preaching (sometimes quite literally from Sunday church).
Yep. Never once has Trump exceeded >=50% of votes or even approval rating.
Don't you just love our slave era Electoral College...?
For sure, though I could use 14 States as examples that are larger. Not even counting all the foreign aid we give to Israel in the first place — it's just absurd we have to kiss their ass so much partly because of AIPAC.
It's more, "they know not what they do."
Many are too shortsighted to grasp that their own beliefs fuel their own pain.
Still, I don't blame the grifted as much as I do the grifters.
