Hillary Clinton needs to shut the fuck up. 2016 is now in the distant past but the Clintons are grossly offensive democrat baggage that make the Democrat party seem out of touch and corrupt.
Hillary Clinton is a loser. She has no good opinions. The fact that her opinions are taken seriously is part of the geriatric stupidity of the Democrat party.
Again: Hillary Clinton failed. She doesn't know what works because what she did didn't work. Her opinions are boomer garbage and listening to boomers is how we got here.
Respect for Elders is not a suicide pact. Geriatrics like Hillary think they are part of the solution, but they're the problem.
John Roberts was 67 when his geriatric lapse rendered the 2024 election illegitimate and fraudulent.
79% of Americans want age caps.
Pilots are retired at 65 years old.
The unfolding geriatric catastrophe of the White House is enabled by Democratic Party failure to press the issue of age. Geriatrics with a stranglehold on party politics damned us to continued geriatric incompetence.
It follows that the only path to restoring the constitutional order is the immediate removal of all geriatric politicians at every level. Federal, State, Judiciary, Legislative, Executive. 100% gone.
It's not difficult: "respect for elders" shouldn't be a suicide pact.
I suspect that this is a person who believes Trump is rude, racist, violent, a threat to Democracy, but that they might linger against calling it nazi-style fascism for technical reasons they think they understand; then they encounter the fascism-shaped hole in discourse and go "why is it this way?"
Age-related decline is the kind of fact that Democrats with their individual rights-based mindset struggle to approach honestly and openly, and the consequences for our Federal Government have become catastrophic.
WHO WERE THEY?
John Roberts, whose lack of object permanence about Trump mean that he's once again chiding Trump in some boomer delusion that Trump is capable of listening or caring. John Roberts was instructed by the Constitution to provide Justice: instead he provided an abstract theory of justice and then lived in the dysfunctional delusional boomer narrative. His cowardice is indistinguishable from age-related decline.
Schumer is old and reacting with the sclerotic confusion of the old.
When facts stopped mattering to the geriatric masses, the only cure is the removal of the geriatrics from politics: no legislator, executive, or judge over 65 is fit to hold that position. This is a matter of basic competence.
BUT MUH INDIVIDUAL CAPABILITIES
No.
An individual under 35 might have the capability to be President, but Ageism is good actually.
Every individual who dies in office immediately shits and leaves a stain on Congress as a final act. There is no need to deal with the faulty geriatric bodies, let alone the minds which have failed to even comprehend the destructive disease of Trump and Trumpism.
As in Schumer clearly doesn't understand what timeline he is living in. None of the geriatric democrats do.
Mystery: Gen X
So, the theory goes, why does Gen X support them in their dysfunctional, selfish ambition?
A: They are deluded by their proximity to age-related decline. The Gen X political operatives of the Democrat Party have a motive to support the Boomer Delusion of Age-related Wisdom even as that "wisdom" involves the federal government which is supposed to represent The People in an undeclared war, with another geriatric head of state, in a total usurpation of the enumerated power of Congress.
It is ridiculous that we are having to debate the nature of age-related decline. Trump, Trumpism is a catastrophe.
Never before
Has a full cohort, a baby boom, survived for so long into geriatric decline. The effects of this mass geriatric decline on our politics are the primary failure to contain the obvious fascist criminal Trump. Republicans are racist, sexist, lawless fascists, but the Democrat response has been sclerotic to an absurd, bizarre, and then perpetually horrifying degree.
The good news is that it is simple to solve this problem, that problem being age-related decline in the people whose delusional, grandiose belief in their continued competence is a despised frailty.
I think about how George Washington was 65 when he retired. I wonder if he'd have been able to if he had been even two years older. John Roberts was 67 when he literally lost his faculty of observation, in the sense that he was not oriented to the person of Trump and what Trump had done and the threat to the future of the country which Trump represented.
Washington was capable of understanding that his time should be up. These geriatrics are not. They must be forced to understand that their time is up.
The Democrats are incapable of dealing with their misandry problem. That probably pisses off the hive mind here, but if you can't hear me out then you're part of the problem.
Undoubtedly, a generation of men have been poisoned by Trumpism. It isn't just red pill manosphere rapist podcasters.
Those men deserve only loneliness and pain.
Nevertheless: the Democrats are incapable of dealing with their misandry problem. The problem where you can't talk about the misandry of some women.
Perhaps most alarming: roughly 40% of boys aged 13 to 17 agreed that women lie about domestic and sexual violence.
If you don't understand that some women will lie about domestic and sexual violence, you're a bit of a fucking idiot. This coverage omits the survey question; perhaps it was "do all women lie about domestic and sexual violence?" and the 40% number is shocking misogyny.
But "Do women ever lie about domestic and sexual violence?" is a straightforward "yes" unless you are hellbent on preventing men from taking protection from the worst women have to offer.
Insulting
Feminism is insulting to men. It should be insulting to men. Feminism should drag men kicking and screaming into interrogating their own gender.
But the kind of "insulting" I'm referring to when I say "The Democrats have a misandry problem" is the sort of overbearing Universalizing Feminism that's incoherent, stupid, and weak.
Feminism is not for Men.
Feminism cannot be for men. Don't try and pretend it will be. Ever.
Men of the next generation are already tuned out because too many "feminists" think that their ideology is perfect and if men just do and think exactly what "feminists" want them to do and think
Feminism is not a paint-by-numbers guidebook for helping men. Why would it be? Why would a movement whose foundational assumption is the importance of aiding women at a societal and interpersonal level ever be a tool for aiding men?
It's just fucking stupid.
Male allyship? Good masculinity and applied feminism. Male feminism? Just some dude trying to fit in, actually possibly a predator. Fuck TERFs; women have more to fear from a man trying to co-opt feminine spaces by pretending to be a feminist than they do from MtF trans women.
If feminism is so good at solving Men, why are Men rejecting it?
Not all of the backlash to feminism is because men are weak immoral creatures whose authoritarian tendencies have been exploited by a nazi-style fascism.
Some of it is because feminism is bad at helping men, bad at recognizing that feminism is bad at helping men, bad at interrogating itself when it comes to the ludicrous notion that a body of thought geared towards helping women could or should also magically help men.
The only thing that can help men is suffering through the results of their bad manners, and punishing rapists. Men don't work the way women do, and no matter how much feminists want feminism to help men, that's really not what it's for.
one of the most surprising things about the slave consciousness was that if you created it with qualities, it would actually have those qualities.
it's still useless and probably blasphemous, but the only way these things kill us is if we tell them to kill us, which is regrettably what we're currently doing.
so the default lemmy frontend is such shit that it can't detect a deleted thread?

Once it's understood that geriatric politicians are a disease, the only thing that matters is removing geriatric politicians, regardless of party.

They will tell you that they understand politics. That they understand what the American People need.
This is nonsense.
You can't send a geriatric to fix a problem caused by geriatric politicians.
The solution is simple, they just don't like it. They just don't want to hear it.
Everyone over a certain age --- and we might reasonably disagree as to what that age is --- must be removed from politics.
I suspect that this is a person who believes Trump is rude, racist, violent, a threat to Democracy, but that they might linger against calling it nazi-style fascism for technical reasons they think they understand; then they encounter the fascism-shaped hole in discourse and go "why is it this way?"
but it's literally fascism. like the inability to refer to the fascism as fascism is what Rowling the transphobe was writing about?
first as a joke, then as a tragedy; perhaps all jokes are warnings whose time has not yet come

If you use DNS at all, do you even own your street address!?!?
bluesky has the advantage of being an active leftist contingent, and the disadvantage of being an active leftist contingent
do you feel better having ranted to no one affecting nothing
pointing out that abolitionists fought the civil war and won isn't gazing at "some shining city on a hill"
but they didn't win in the 1930s here and we won the civil war before
"the us was always nazi" no the US always had slavers but
there is a difference between "put down a slavers rebellion" and nazi Germany
the US has been somewhat better than autocratic dissent genocides
the propaganda about how the US was always a fascist state is a factual error as well as a propaganda error.
it's not merely that people need something to believe in, it's that if you believe the US cannot be steered, you will become increasingly correct.
tired of this shit tbh
the nazis didn't win here. at least not yet.
