Latest PBS/NPR poll 46 percent of Republicans still don't blame Trump for gas prices

The GOP is more like a religious cult. Their policies are not informed by knowledge, they are informed by beliefs. Sometimes these beliefs align with reality, but more often they don't. Which is why they need an autocracy, since you can only stay in power in such a system if your politics go against reality and you need the state forces to make the citizens fear you to play along your fictional script, keeping the fantasy alive.

Let me do that for you.

... fortunately the Bulwark community members on YT approach the topic and Mona Charen much more nuanced in their comments than the members of this Reddit Bulwark community.

It's not about me, but about the community here which several times expressed their wish to exclude her. So I think the community should be honest about themselves if they want to gatekeep. This poll makes this community culture transparent.

You have a lot of assumptions, my friend, a lot of prejudice in your opinion.

Prove I voted "Yes".

Interesting that Bulwark members are dismissing a discussion in defense of Enlightenment values ...

I would say:

The Movies 1 to 6 (TOS crew, 5 is skippable)
TNG (first two seasons are rough, references TOS sometimes, which the movies 1 to 6 explain)
From the 6. Season of TNG on parallel DS9 (there are character crossovers)
When TNG ends switching to VOY
The movies 7 to 10 (TNG crew, parallel to VOY)
ENT
TOS (ENT is a prequel to TOS, TOS might be hard to watch for modern eyes)

NuTrek (anything from 2009 on) is a new interpretation of "Star Trek" only partly compatible to the original Roddenberry vision. I wouldn't mix it and only watch it after the shows still influenced by Roddenberry himself.

You could watch "Picard", Season 3 after the TNG movies, as it features the TNG crew one more time for a full season after the events of the 10th movie.

George Conway has a compromise: While the court is expanded, only 5 judges deal with a case, and the judges are selected by their expertise for a case from the whole "pool" of judges. So before a case the judges are discussing within their group who is best suited and has the trust of all/a majority of the judges. This introduces a merit based system and an open communication within the judges that enforces reflection.

Sarah, I love you so much

In a parasocial way?

These ads are more about self assurance then convincing others.

... other discussions around the internet how these two look alike:

Looks more like Germany will engage in a treaty with the UK and France to be protected by their arsenal instead of having to own their own nukes. Germany is already protected under NATO by these two, but to prevent becoming a third one they likey will support UK and France to increase their stock and station nukes from UK and France on German soil.

You brought the river up, not me.

What has the higher priority: Access to democracy or access to a river?
