Instead of normalizing the new right, this is the kind of policy Dems really need to lean into if they’re really concerned about attracting “moderates” without losing their base.

When you realize how low the bar is, you should never have imposter syndrome again. At this point the remaining federal government is only composed of Trump loyalists.

The claims of meritocracy replacing DEI are beyond ridiculous. How many campus shooters have ever just walked away like this? This was a high profile assassination. The fact that they still have not found the guy that did this, should let you know they either let this happen or they’re now just completely incompetent. I’m leaning towards the former, but the latter is definitely a possibility.

Anybody can just be handed power and control under this administration, no matter how unqualified. That is how the right has been operating for the last 25+ years. Literally that is why people keep joining this grift. If you’re willing to pledge loyalty, take advantage of people, and help destroy your own country, you can make bank.

The people that fund the right refuse to let a penny of their money go towards taxes to pay for public services, but they will literally throw absurd amounts of money at anything that promotes their agenda. They would pay somebody to publicly set their own money on fire, if it meant that person could convince a handful of people to keep voting Republican.

The really sad thing is, there is some truth to the left (or at least the Democratic party) becoming so comfortable being cemented in established norms and institutions, that they have managed to become exclusionary and made a big chunk of the U.S. feel alienated.

Like a lot of the institutions on the left have become what the Republican party was when the new right was first forming. Everybody “new” actually has connections to somebody already established in the party. They’re usually somebody’s kid, relative, or family friend, or they attended the same Ivy League and were recruited by somebody in the establishment.

I had a coworker that went MIA for like a month. We were waiting on him to send us some things for a project, but nobody knew where he went or could get in touch with him. One day out of the blue he messaged us to apologize, and let us know he’d experienced a mental breakdown, become suicidal, and had been hospitalized the whole time.

I was off that day (but of course still connected to work 🙄) and in the middle of replying to his message when a friend of mine came over to go get some lunch. She asked why I seemed kinda of shaken up, and I just gave her a quick rundown and said I needed to finish replying to him before we left.

Her response kinda threw me into this whole other state of shock, bc she literally just scoffed and said “Ugh I hate when people do that! You still have responsibilities, how hard is it to just send an email saying you’ll be out?”

This is somebody I generally consider a good person, but this really made me look at her in a different way. She legit thought that somehow this guy, who literally had a break from reality and had nearly been driven to the point of suicide bc of how stressed and overwhelmed he was, was somehow in the wrong for not putting all that aside and thinking about his responsibilities to work.

How selfish of him… /s

As if, despite the words “break from reality” and “suicide,” she still somehow believed that he could have realistically been expected to just snap back into work mode momentarily

Like as he’s in the middle of fashioning a noose or loading a gun to stick in his own mouth, he was supposed to stop and go “Wait, before I do this, I really should reply to all those emails.”

Ahhhh!!! 🤣🤣 Omg it gets even better:

This motherfucker who doesn’t even believe in due process is telling you to “WATCH OUT” bc a judge just might decide you could be violating the law! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

And no, you’re not confusing him with some other Hans von Spakovsky, this is the same Hans von Spakovsky of the Heritage Foundation, originally from Huntsville, AL who’s dad has a mysterious gap of time in his resume from 1941-1950 before he came to the U.S. from Germany after fleeing Russia

Is it Zuckerberg wanting to create a fear narrative, like “we’ll never be able to catch up with China,” or now “Zuckerberg can’t even keep up with his competitors.” Or is it possibly just tech bros believing each other’s hype again, and actually fearing “AI” that’s really just 700 engineers in a trenchcoat.

Fucking unacceptable!

Uhm… ok just seems like it’s kind of deflecting from the point that this dude’s dad probably got off the hook for commiting crimes against humanity and was allowed to start over fresh without ever facing justice for the atrocities he directly committed.

I know as an American in many ways, I arguably hold some responsibility for benefiting from an unjust system. Still seems like a distraction in a post trying to call attention to the fact that a man literally trying to overthrow the American government was probably raised by a war criminal, and nobody has ever noticed this or brought it to the public’s attention.

So like the openly racist son of a Nazi war criminal who escaped justice is equivalent to any other American such as myself? Interesting, I would like to imagine I’m not quite as bad for being part of an exploited working class in an unjust system this guy is actively controlling, but I guess if you see it that way, not much I could say to change your mind.

Ok… not sure why you’re trying to defend a neo Nazi or his old school Nazi dad, but sure.
