  • a centrist party

    The idea of such a party always amuses me, since it’s always stated that there is some gigantic “center” in this country. Which of course is halfway between the utterly unhinged far right extremists in the qon movement and Republican Party, as contrasted with the right-of-center Democratic Party?

    Not only is it never really stated what the positions of this so-called party would actually be, nor who they’d really be popular with, but do we need THREE right-leaning parties?

    WTAF.




  • Reminds me - people started acting like “if Obama did it” was the same as Godwin’s Law or something during Taco’s first failure of a term, but I think Godwin’s Law is over at this point and we should continue to ask ourselves how the qons (and the “liberal media”) would have behaved if Obama had congratulated himself on a job well done in this situation…even before all the bodies are counted.

    The qons would have lost their minds and been calling him uppity, oops, I mean, “arrogant”, like you would not believe…





  • It infringes on what many in the US see as a basic human right: the ability to own and drive a car.

    That Stockholm Syndrome is so wild to me - the car culture was foisted onto Americans. Even if you expose them to information about how this came to be, they still insist that driving back and forth 1+ hours every weekday from tract housing to the city for a job, with no truly viable public transit, is the peak of freedom and prosperity. And they have to spend lots of time, energy and money (and toxic inputs) into a lawn in many cases, too, mandated by HOAs. Eating up lots of their free time…

    If you ever engage with some of these people that are so entrenched in their thinking about this, they’ll act like the only other offering is some kind of WEF-ian “you’ll own nothing and be happy”, as if there is nothing else on the table but those two options - suburbian hellscape that requires a car to do anything at all, or…some kind of dystopian thing that WEF is accused of wanting to impose.
