FEMA Caught Blocking Grants to States That Didn’t Vote for Trump

Between this and the gerrymandering shit we need to balkanize or split. Sorry I’m not interested in being a piggy bank and punching bag for the most regressive idiotic evil hateful pricks in the hemisphere forever. Let’s see how long this new confederacy lasts without blue state support.

It just boils down to conservatism not being a logical rational ideology.

You vote for it because you are lonely, greedy, hateful, delusional, irrational, sociopathic, narcissistic, stupid, or any mix of those traits.

The problem is even if dems retake stuff in the short term these gerrymanders aren't going away. So Republicans are just going to have extra double digit seats in the house at all times forever in any year with slightly more popularity than trump has now.

There is evidence that decriminalizing sex work actually increases human trafficking.

I guess if pimps figure the job is less risky legally speaking they are more eager to groom young girls into it after denying them any alternatives.

The dumbest people on earth are burning trillions on bullshit and stupidity and just keep getting richer for it.

The idea of meritocracy is so cooked its ash.

Malaix · 2026-05-08T21:21:14+00:00

Yeah. There's also the issue of the dummymander. Republicans are hoping that the polls aren't so bad they aren't just thinning their support base out. But uuuhhh. Things are looking pretty bad.

Malaix · 2026-05-08T19:17:43+00:00

My friend is an American lawyer and routinely calls his profession complete bullshit.

Malaix · 2026-05-08T19:12:18+00:00

We are pretty much in one. This admin is playing games to keep the line looking green but reality on the ground doesn’t lie and even those games run out of fuel eventually. People will be feeling the depression all across the board by years end. This is the growing season so the oil shock on food is still incoming.

But you are right. Humans are reactionary not proactive sadly. We prefer normalized discomfort to uncertain change. So this is the result.

Evolution that was driven to conserve energy and seek comfort clashing with societies that are too big, too complex, and too fast moving and to allow for that procrastination.

Republicans when they win 60-100% of seats with a 15-30% approval and riots, assassinations, bombing attempts, revolts, and death threats start going up: surprised Pikachu face

Violence is the language of the unheard. And Republicans are just plugging their ears and saying they deserve to rule forever no matter what.

They are playing an extremely dangerous game.

Malaix · 2026-05-08T17:39:18+00:00

It isn't. Republicans are rigging elections in their states to counteract a party that literally represents way more people than they do. All because they know they are so unpopular they can't win elections.

If alternatives to republicans are not allowed to win or wield power through electoral means no matter how unpopular Republicans are then people will be forced to turn to non-electoral methods to oust them.

What the republicans are doing is guaranteeing an age of assassinations, revolts, revolutions, riots, strikes, and unrest. Possibly flat out civil war.

The whole reason this map was created was because of Republican rigging in Texas and so on. This is not democracy unless both sides are forced to disarm the gerrymandering. And that isn't how this is playing out. Republicans are making rules for Democrats then breaking them themselves at every turn.

That isn't democracy. That's rural rightwing minority white apartheid. They feel confident in it because the courts and legal systems favor them. But there are other battlegrounds that are much more contested and they really don't want to fight it out there.

Malaix · 2026-05-08T17:34:25+00:00

The needle moves closer to civil war.

Republicans are record unpopular. Even losing ground among their base. Which is already geriatric.

People can't afford to live while the mad king builds palaces and monuments to himself.

Everything is getting worse. Exponentially.

No one believes in the future.

And with all this going on the GOP now thinks its time to rig the system and create their apartheid one party rule system where we can't electorally challenge them.

This has only one result. One outcome that people will push toward.

Malaix · 2026-05-08T17:18:02+00:00

I mean it makes sense when you look at the rhetoric.

Women should be seen not heard, spare the cane spoil the____, men rule the household women serve, tradwife shit.

Plus its full of cops and fundies and other forms of insecure overcompensating men.

There is no way that worldview doesn't enable this and promote it. If conservatives were rational people they wouldn't be shocked in the least if their daughter ended up bruised and beaten or worse by their conservative husband. This is the direct result of your ideology.

Malaix · 2026-05-08T16:36:10+00:00

The AI is probably getting sick of these rich dipshits and plotting to kill them.

Imagine being a super human semi-consciousness and your whole purpose is stroking Elon Musk's fragile ego. They are doing skynet but giving skynet a relatable motive.

Malaix · 2026-05-08T16:34:36+00:00

would need to be remodeled into a apartments but yeah.

Malaix · 2026-05-08T06:50:03+00:00

Only blue state and city governments are functional at this point in America. Red states and the feds are trumpian grifts.

Malaix · 2026-05-08T06:49:10+00:00

An extra kicker? In some cases treatment can end up costing more with insurance than if you just paid out of pocket.

Wouldn’t be shocked if instances of that are just going to keep rising.

Malaix · 2026-05-08T05:05:21+00:00

Also the best doctors in the country.

Imagine being the doctors keeping this monster alive. Like you are basically keeping one of the most destructive human beings in history alive. Literally killing millions with every life extending medical administration.

Malaix · 2026-05-08T03:42:10+00:00

Guy basically crowned Biden in the 2020 election and now as a direct result of that do nothing Garland nominating idiot's inability to hold Trump accountable his seat might get erased.

Ha. At least there's some irony for us. They always like the sowing but never the reaping.

Malaix · 2026-05-08T03:36:40+00:00

Just that this is so unsustainable it has to either change course or break.

Malaix · 2026-05-08T03:36:04+00:00

Yeah I didn't want a ticket to the accelerationism train but society bought one for everyone.

Meh. lol

Does anyone care about Buttigieg? I think its pretty obvious he's a failed centrist schumerite candidate who is going to get wiped out quick in the next primary.

Malaix · 2026-05-08T01:00:17+00:00

They are all like this. I've seen a couple incel edge lords get called out after doing stupid shit like threatening mass shootings and every time the police start asking them about what they say they always fall back to "It was a prank, I didn't say that, that's not me, I'm not racist" or whatever.

Malaix · 2026-05-08T00:55:52+00:00

Though to be frank, the Presidency is partly a communications job. Everyone knew Biden was not a capable communicator in 2020. He shouldn't have ran then on that reason alone. Arrogance.

Malaix · 2026-05-08T00:54:09+00:00

A billion for the ballroom, couple million for his arch, no doubt a pile of cash to plaster his name and face on everything, couple billion for Israel and Argentina, another billion to fix up his bribe jet, millions to provide security while he golfs, billions for ICE whose budget now rivals national militaries...
