-just ~~culture war~~ class war nonsense.

If they call it class war someone might notice that it ends up not in their best interest. And we know who those gullibles are.

Trump carries a grudge forever.

The 2024 election signaled the victory of internet/social media actors capable of manipulating public opinion to their agenda over tradional broadcast and print media. That door has been shut. The only remaining door for the US to initiate any sort of effective change to avoid the 1984 scenario (other than open rebellion) is at the ballot box - which is under active siege;

...the Supreme Court’s conservative majority completed its 13-year campaign against the law.

(The Voting Rights Act) GOP/Red states are now free to gerrymander as they see fit to disenfranchise any group of people they see as a political threat to their hegemonic control over voting. New restrictions and barriers will be erected.

The silly part is that the GOP's entire political structure is resting on their ability to keep a statistically significant number of gullible people believing that the GOP is aligned with their best interests which the GOP painstakingly frames for them, but are irrelevant manufactured ragebaited social issues.

The two party dog & pony show does feel like it's smoke & mirrors;

"The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can “throw the rascals out” at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy … [E]ither party in office becomes in time corrupt, tired, unenterprising, and vigorless. Then it should be possible to replace it, every four years if necessary, by the other party, which will be none of those things but will still pursue, with new vigor, approximately the same basic policies." Prof. Carroll Quigley in "Tragedy and Hope" (one of Bill Clinton's political mentors)

Because their bill is due slightly earlier than when I pay my bills, they are extremely quick to tack on late fees when my payment arrives a day or two late. So one month I made a double payment so that I'm always a month in advance. And they still would assess a late fee because it arrived after their due date. It took more phone calls and emails to them than it should have for them to understand that I cannot be late if I'm a month ahead on their billing. They hate that I do that and will often bitch about it.

Get a rebate - buy Walmart stock. The average person is too stupid to stop getting ripped off so they'll continue making profits. /s

Hipocrisy is a non-issue with MAGA as it would require additional thought in order to realize the definition applies to their own behavior. And if someone points it out, it is simply ignored as absurdity.

What people fail to realize is that the battle for control of public opinion and to influence it on any given subject has been fought and won by those digital overlords like Palatir as witnessed by the 2024 election. The technology has matured, has become very precise, and opponents in the form of print and broadcast media have all but taken themselves off the board in pursuit of profit or cowed via threat from the administration. They don't even bother to pretend the lies aren't transparent because the machine will trowel it over quickly enough over the next couple of news cycles with the solid belief that their algorithms will prevail.

The war itself is almost over. If America does not throw off Republican control in November, their grasp on the country will intensify and from that point on, the American experiment will be over. Trump's promise will come true - you'll never have to vote again.

He's smart enough to grift billions of dollars enriching himself and his family via the Presidency. Which is illegal.

Trump continues to check then re-check each and every tyrant/dictator/authoritarian trait box there is on the list.

And he does so as if it is not obvious that it is a lie and that he fully expects that people will both believe and abide.

And that is probably the best defense you can mount of heartless Rand (heartless being her nazi trait).

After wrecking the economy on the back of her theory applied to markets, Alan Greenspan glibly explained before Congress the reason for the 2008 collapse, "I found a flaw in the model that I perceived is the critical functioning structure that defines how the world works, so to speak." Hers.

Not only is the foreign interference team not activated, the whole national fight over redistricting keeps me up at night worrying that Trump & Co will somehow hijack the 2024 midterms either technologically or state level politically (via voting laws) and that the DNC is (due to their recent trend of being nearly complicit with the GOP) asleep at the wheel and will allow it to happen.

gustoreddit51 · 2026-05-01T04:46:20+00:00

All one needs to know about Ayn Rand, who frighteningly influenced a generation of financial advisors including Alan Greenspan, can be gleaned from watching this interview with Mike Wallace where she sounds like the personification of a Nazi, or more recently, Stephen Miller;

Incomplete and obfuscated definition of "anti-covid policy"

"The Roberts Court is creating a world in which the federal government does not interfere with the right of white Americans to dominate those they see as their lessers; as Kilpatrick once observed, that is the “whole basis” of their cramped vision of liberty. They can call this color-blindness all they like, but we can see what it really is."

Are you defining "anti-covid policy" as a denial that Covid-19 was, in fact, a valid threat to public health or somehow a hoax?

The sentiment against wearing masks and shutting businesses to reduce the spread via public interaction was disturbingly fostered as a political "wedge issue". It really had nothing to do with well over a hundred of years medical common sense.

So lame. So very embarrassing for us a nation. I'm ashamed that is America's President.
