U.S. Politics

And that's why every single person I've written off as irredeemable in my life in the past ten years has looked like me.

I honestly think that on a human, what people want level, the Republican Party lost its last leg to stand on because they're not even taking care of the people they need to bamboozle to get to vote for them. My continued worry is a combination of voter interference, gerrymandering, and literal election theft. If we found out Musk mucked with vote counts in Ohio, etc., ten years from now I don't think anyone would be surprised. It's actually allowing the will of the people to be implemented that gives me heartburn. Yesterday certainly was an indictment of what the men in charge are actually doing.

MY tinfoil hat moment is that I legitimately do not believe that Trump won the election. I'm not going around being an election-denier, because I have no proof and I'm not a conservative so I don't just say things are true because I believe them. But I DO believe the election was rigged in Trump's favor.

And I think the reason Republicans have, for the first time in history, not bothered to PRETEND to be helping their base while destroying the country, is because now they know HOW to fix elections and never intend to go back.



Amazing how many latino men still vote conservative given that all of their friends are being rounded up and sent to slavery-torture prisons.

I'm in the same boat, especially when he screams so much about the other side cheating. Like the philandering husband who always suspects his wife of being unfaithful.

All my in-laws are Mexican, and some have changed their tune lately but some are just vehemently into Trump and expertly regurgitate all the greatest hits etc, and it's just.... Fucking horrible to me. It makes absolutely no sense, and I feel it should since I myself am a race-traitor.

With conservatives, every accusation is a confession. The same way they accuse everyone of being pedophiles but the people getting caught raping children and looking at child porn are conservatives 90% of the time or more. If conservatives are accusing people of doing something, they are probably the ones doing it.
But also there were the comments from Musk that he is the -reason- Trump won, and that time we all apparently pretend didn't happen when Trump went on a live mic and talked about how Musk 'really knows those voting machines.' I don't even think they went to great lengths to hide it, because after Jan 6 even Democrats were terrified of even suggesting an election COULD be rigged.
 
The last time I saw him, he was actually the only trump person at the gathering which just meant he had to shout loud enough for everyone to hear his talking points. I almost Irish-exited on him but thought no... Can't do that. And he even noticed when I went back to say bye. And he said "yeah, shit, I was about to say I'm never going to Ireland again!" Goddamnit, you haven't been to Ireland either!!!
 
Maybe after some beers heh. It was for a memorial thing for my wife's mother so I was just pissed that this shit was even being brought up in that setting. So I'm getting ready to tell him to just shut the fuck up when my wife yells "hey uncle, what's your favorite thing my mom would cook?" and steered the evening in a whole other direction. It was like magic to me.

Lately I've been using "what do you mean by that?" for a lot of this.

Really fun watching them play Resident Evil laser room.

Me too. That's a great option. This is the one I use when people make obvious racist/sexist/transphobic comments but are doing the 'you know what I'm talking about' nudge nudge kind of thing. I'll just be like 'I don't, please explain exactly what you mean.'
