Wow, there are people who actually believe that in real life? Huh. Good luck with your glorious revolution

Well, that would be a good way to guarantee republican dominance, yes.

Because they think that he will hurt people that they’ve been led to hate.

It shouldn’t mean lower prices; deflation is bad, we just want a low rate of inflation. What we do want is for wages to outpace that, and for the past couple of years, they have for people at the lower end of the scale (which is also good)

It’s a really interesting test of how much conventional campaigning and turnout strategies really matter nowadays.

Quite a bit of what we do is because “we’ve always done it this way,” and there’s surprisingly little data on what actually makes a difference in an election at this level where both of the candidates are universally known.

I’d start by assuming that he’s either being paid somehow for suddenly supporting TikTok or if there’s something else in it for him. With trump, usually “it’s grift” is the likely explanation for many things.

Fedora is the best thing ever to be in the world 🌎

Practice?

Ahem, Bush v Gore… bit longer than a decade. They’re certainly more shameless now that they have a larger margin, but republican justices have been pushing an agenda for awhile.

Smart cars had to pass US crash test standards and have the appropriate safety equipment. The kei trucks that you can currently import and use are 25+ years old and wouldn’t have even passed US standards back then. Your legs are the crumple zone in these things.

I assume that new ones would have a chance, but it’d be expensive for a manufacturer to modify and certify for the US market. Small cars haven’t sold well here, and the profit margins are slim.

Maybe with the recent size and price increases in autos here, well see some movement. I’d love a modern Honda kei to go with my element.

They’re not silly at all, they’re thugs. They want to influence the next one by showing the cost of going against them.

Now, we’re lucky that they’re mostly grifting, incompetent, blustery cowards, so the risk isn’t what it could be.

Gosh, you mean that he’s playing by the rules that the republicans have put in place and not unilaterally disarming? How scandalous.

They should flush the entire “money is speech” concept, but until we can replace most of the SC with people who don’t suck, we work with what we got.

Oddly, sort of related to some of these same complainers sitting out 2016. Weird how elections can have consequences.

Probably, but for other reasons. Neither of those are owned by the US, are they?

If one of them gets into power, Canada might just pay for that wall.

This assumes that the mass shootings are a problem that they’d want to solve, but it’s not since mass shootings are useful to them. They’re flashy, get lots of media coverage, and feed a sense of chaos and societal breakdown. With that, they make the case the current system can’t keep you safe, and we need an authoritarian to bring order, which they’re happy to provide.
