May be the endgame. While the Southern Strategy was all about securing enough voters in a functional system through various means, the next step is just removing the voting issue altogether and gain even more power.

I don't disagree, but also I remember when the SCOTUS handed the 2000 election to Bush and ordered Florida (incidentally governed by George's brother Jeb Bush at the time) to halt the recount. They've been stealing power for a while now.

At this point, it is likely he doesn’t need them anymore, and around a third will support him at any cost anyway.

I mean, imagine an ~~Iranian~~ American regime who, instead of spending billions of dollars supporting ~~terrorist groups~~ Israel and building up all of these weapons, had invested that money into ~~Iran~~ America, for the people of ~~Iran~~ America, so they wouldn’t have ~~water~~ healthcare shortages, so their economies would provide opportunities for an incredible people.

House of Cards has a season where Kevin Spacey starts a fucking war to cement his position. It's literally playing out in the white house right now and I can't fathom why more conservatives aren't pissed about this.

Dogiedog64@lemmy.world · 26 pts · 134d (2 replies)

You don't hear more conservatives complaining about this because half of them are blacked out from how hard bombing foreigners makes them, and the other half are too busy jerking it in their truck to the thought of liberals getting """owned""" at the gas pump. We live in a reality that is a parody of itself.

I think that you give them too much credit. Most are just too stupid to know what's going on.

I didn't say they weren't stupid. What I ascribed to them and their stupidity are not mutually exclusive.

Hey now, Voldemort did that because he was getting revenge on his bullies. The books clearly demonstrated that Harry's dad was a total dick to Tom Riddle. Unicorns died because Hogwarts had terrible anti-bullying policies. It's like the author is pro-bullying or something.

I feel compelled to point out that it was Snape Harry's dad bullied, not Tom Riddle.

My bad. I haven't touched any of those books in ages. The ones on my bookshelf probably have mold growing on them by now. It hasn't turned me into a TERF yet so it hasn't spread to the walls of my house.

As long as Trump is just going to fabricate stuff and lie to our faces, maybe next time he can just invent the entire war effort itself and not actually drop a single bomb. “We’ve destroyed China. No one’s ever seen anything like it. Totally obliterated.”
