  • If we believe that the democrats didn’t properly recognize or hear the very real economic anxiety that Americans felt prior to the election

    The bothsiderists don’t typically look at what the Republicans did or didn’t do, except as a jumping off point to explain to everyone else how the Democrats are terrible at pretty much everything.

    And certainly the unhinged base is so disconnected from reality that it would take quite a lot to wake them up, if it’s possible at all. The same geniuses that could see all the same stats we could under the booming economy we just had up until January of this year, now proclaim, without even flinching that donvict was handed “the worse economy ever”. We can all look at things like S&P take a gigantic downturn after donvict’s stupid games with tariffs, but these guys blame that direct cause/effect on…Biden. And people like Dollar Store Harry Potter Mike Johnson sit there and repeat the same brazen lie.










  • Trump supporters…

    It was clear that his campaign was influenced by Project 2025

    The document was openly published by a think tank, his campaign embraced it, and yet his supporters thought it wasn’t going to happen.

    Well, you are talking about a group that, as a general rule, is not known for being readers per se. Also, they are not known for consuming even token “liberal” corporate outlets, and those companies barely covered Project 2025 as-is.

    Before last fall’s election, I remember talking to someone that mostly votes Libertarian but will vote Republican and gets much of their “news” via things like Rogan and I brought up Project 2025.

    them: “But isn’t Project 2025 just a liberal conspiracy theory? C’mon…”

    me: “Uh, it’s a published thing. You can easily find it, download it, and READ it. It’s no ‘liberal conspiracy theory’. And don’s VP wrote the forward to a book from the architect of Project 2025, so if donvict is trying to distance himself from it, he sure has a funny way of showing it by picking “JD” “Vance” to be his running mate…”

    them: “…”

    Did they bother to look into this? I’m sure they did not. And I’d bet anything they voted Libertarian for Presidential level and Republican everywhere else they could not find a Libertarian candidate, therefore, helping the Republicans. They vote in Colorado, so their thrown-away vote for the presidential race does not matter, but…
