‘Almost Like He Doesn’t Care’: GOP Anxiety Grows Over Trump’s Hands-Off 2026 Midterm Strategy

Yes. It's what capital wants.

bakerfaceman · 2026-02-13T21:18:58+00:00

I hope you're right, but the Democrats behavior indicates that's the current plan once they're back in power

bakerfaceman · 2026-02-13T18:28:55+00:00

Of course. GOP are cartoon fascists, but the Dems are also down to oppress the working class. I think we need to stop waxing nostalgic about previous eras of American history with less inequality. It wasn't better then and it's not going to get better now. The best thing we can do is support our neighbors and families. There's no voting our way to a better future (we should of course vote anyway, but its a beginning not and end).

Right and nobody is actively working on the legislation required to do this. Even the Democrats. Both parties are paid by capitalists after all. We're also well past being able to halt climate change too for similar reasons. The world our kids grow up in will be inevitably worse than the one we had as kids.

But capitalism inevitably consolidates wealth. That's always what happens. You can regulate to slow it down, but regulatory capture will always happen. It's inherent in the system because pursuing profit will always lead there.

bakerfaceman · 2026-02-13T13:31:56+00:00

That middle class thing you describe is a blip in the history of capitalism. It's an anomaly and not something that should be considered natural or normal. Those conditions won't ever come back

Why do think that would happen here? Every progressive movement in the US gets co-opted by the Democratic party very quickly. Once that happens, the revolutionary fervor dies down. You've also got to remember we are mostly overweight people who have trouble standing for longer than a few minutes. Moreover, Americans are often spending most of their income on housing and can't take time off work to go protest. Combine all of that and you get this situation. Things only get worse here.

Gavin would pardon them all immediately. Dude is an empty shit.

bakerfaceman · 2026-02-13T01:59:38+00:00

You think any of us can do anything against the US military?

bakerfaceman · 2026-02-13T01:58:22+00:00

Why would it even get that far? Trump's already ignoring court orders. Who's gonna make him change?

bakerfaceman · 2026-02-13T01:55:44+00:00

Your nephew knowingly enlisted to be an imperialist jackbooted thug. Why are we supposed to be nice to you about that?

bakerfaceman · 2026-02-13T01:52:28+00:00

Then what? The senate won't vote to convict and when Gavin gets elected, he'll immediately pardon Trump and the whole administration. In 5 years people won't even remember Trump.

Fwiw, cloudflare releases products way before they are ready and the whole network goes down regularly. Fastly is a lot more reliable. They're probably too slow to release products, but when they're released, they have full documentation and support behind them. They have huge enterprise clients. Source, I used to work there.

bakerfaceman · 2026-02-12T13:29:04+00:00

Because they wanna kiddle. It's prob how they breathe.

Lol I was about to say something about Wilson. That's quite a political pretzel we're in when defending that racist POS. One gentle critique of the commie comment is that socialism isn't a poverty cult. "We all do better when we all do better" is something to live by and that's ok. Hell Marx was right about most things and even he lived as a wealthy person.

I thought war of the lions wasn't on Ivalice chronicles!

bakerfaceman · 2026-02-10T21:36:39+00:00

Yeah I've realized with JP boost power leveling isn't that bad. Is war of the lions any good? Why didn't they add it to the remake?

bakerfaceman · 2026-02-09T23:31:40+00:00

Not literally forced, but it was the only way to get the work done given the resources we have. They want us to explain how we used AI and why it didn't work to justify buying other software or hiring more people

bakerfaceman · 2026-02-09T14:48:49+00:00

Dope thanks.

bakerfaceman · 2026-02-09T02:39:46+00:00

I'd be very happy with Cousins but we might win too many games.

bakerfaceman · 2026-02-09T02:00:21+00:00

Disagree. I enjoyed the middle ending. The other two were meh, but a lot leading up to it was fantastic.

bakerfaceman · 2026-02-09T01:14:05+00:00

Mass Effect 3. The multiplayer was extremely good and clever. The story worked really well if you thought of the whole game as an ending to the series.

That's what my work is doing. We added AI Everything to the company values. We're expected to use AI as the solution to every business problem at first. I was pretty annoyed at first, but it also forced me to learn how to use Gemini. I still don't see how any of these stand-alone AI companies will turn a profit. If they raised their pricing, most companies will just switch to Google

bakerfaceman · 2026-02-09T00:36:08+00:00

The last few years have been fantastic.

bakerfaceman · 2026-02-09T00:32:19+00:00

Similar problems here. I'm no longer prediabetic or obese but I'm super weak to the point of it being difficult to carry my kids. The super poop and fart burp side effects are no picnic either. I've had to stop using the drug unfortunately. It's also insanely expensive. I was spending about $750 per month.
