    You’d think they would support a prosecutor?

    You’d think they would support someone that doesn’t hold them accountable when they fuck up.

    They have a tendency to be corrupt and not held accountable at times.

    Imagine the cognitive dissonance they have to have to do and say the things they do.

    Like most politicians. Have different beliefs at the same time. Saying one thing to one group and the opposite belief, too another group. Just to get elected......

    They were talking about the oath keepers and the other militia group.

    Literally what I responded to. Any further questions I can give answers you already should know?

    Looking at how many states are absolutely locked in to one party or the other regardless of who might be nominated, it amazes me to think back on the '84 presidential race in which Reagan carried 49 states. I think it's safe to say we will never see anything like that again.

    It will repeat, hopefully not soon.

    The late 70s were a time to mop up any former demonstrators still alive or not in prison for drugs. It was a time of maximum perception of intelligence agencies, when everyone cancelled subscriptions to liberal magazines, slanted their verbal statements toward the Right, feared to write their opinions in college assignments, cut their hair, etc. As the national IQ collapsed, no one spoke up for Carter.

    The 80s were a conservative era, defined as, the absence of criticism of conservatism. Liberals were just as numerous, just silent in fear. First the Iraq/Afghan War shook up a little resistance, then Trump did so a lot, with a new innocent generation unafraid to pipe up.

    It will repeat. When the evildoers in power feel the need to dampen leftist enthusiasm, they will resurrect the cycle of fear. They can encourage journalism about their infiltration of all power structures (70s newspapers), U.S. torture (2000s war coverage)...or (in computer articles of the last 15 years) software analysis of 100% of phone calls, texts, and basketball message board posts.

    I truly hope that Trump loses by a landslide. That would help heal this country and shrink the partisan divide.

    It could happen, if they discover that GLP1 drugs improve intelligence along with all the other benefits.

    Otherwise, I don't have much hope.

    JD Vance claimed illegal Haitian immigrants in Ohio town are draining social services, causing chaos and eating people's pets.

    The immigrants are legal. Social services not draining. Town not in chaos. No pets have been eaten.

    Trump podcasts and social media focused on making up sexual slurs against Harris.
    "All Black women are whores..."

    How would you cook a cat? Crockpot? Stew? They seem kinda greasy.

    What wine would you serve with cat?
