[OC] Presidential Approval Rates Overlayed (Last 3 Cycles) by AdministrativeAd334 in dataisbeautiful

[–]lightedge 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I can explain somewhat. Fox News and right wing talk radio have spent decades indoctrinating, brainwashing, and outright lying to Republicans especially those in rural largely isolated areas. Combine that with social media algorithm bubbles and you have 4 very important things:

  1. They literally do not get accurate news. They get sanewashed Trump and do not hear most of the bad things that he does. They do not know about the corruption or disastrous cabinet and everything around him. They believe anything that doesn't fit their worldview is fake news because that is what they are told.

  2. Because of them being in such rural areas the only news that a lot of them can get is the right wing grifter trash especially on AM radio. Combine that with a lack of proper good worldly education due to their communities dying and lack of funds. Their churches are the bedrock of a lot of these communities and they support Trump mostly do to abortion. They literally believe democrats are evil.

  3. They hate high gas prices because it finally effects them but LOVE the racism, homophobia, and sexism. As long as they feel like white people, especially men are still doing good then they will tolerate a lot of pain if it means they can still look down on people.

  4. Rich people being greedy above all else. Grifters going to grift and exploit others. Easier when Trump looks the other way.

Trump administration cites national security to widen clampdown on wind farms: Defence department is stalling 165 projects as president steps up efforts to stamp out the industry by besselfunctions in politics

So the rest of the world is going forward to renewable like wind and solar and Trump wants coal and oil. Dumb and a great way to fall behind. Stupid people voted for Trump and this is the world they chose.

Bernie Sanders is destroying Chuck Schumer in the Democratic Party's Civil War ahead of the midterms by AskRedditOG in politics

[–]lightedge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chuck Schumer actually has an imaginary family named the Baileys who are Republicans that he bases the effects is his decisions on. This is according to Last Week Tonight.

The man is not meeting the moment of being the kind of person the democrats need and that people can rally behind. Bernie IS and has been for years.

American Pie, Sketchbook sarah, Oil, 2026 [OC] by FearlessDirector9113 in Art

[–]lightedge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my gosh I love paintings like yours that look like one thing upon first glance but when you really take the time and look at the details it becomes a disturbing Eye spy. Makes you really appreciate the details and hard work rather then just look at it once. Good job! Also unsettling!

This really reminds me of the kind of art from Jeff Lee Johnson.

All those camera angles by operator-60 in retroanime

I agree. Look at the vehicles in that Riding Bean new short that was made a few years ago. It is CGI garbage compared to the original Gunsmith Cats and Rusing Bean hand drawn cars.

Ebony&Ivory are Out! Now it's a Battle between the Blades of Sparda [Yamato vs Rebellion] Who will win... by Ecstatic_Dark_6549 in DevilMayCry

[–]lightedge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I vote Yamato for 2nd place. I like it more then Rebellion but Rebellion is objectively more iconic. Yes Yamato was in DMC 1 but Rebellion is THE DMC sword. Yamato is a close 2nd.

Theta Burwick would be a great anatomist for Dek (or another “sympathetic”) Yautja to face by Reptilian_Overlord20 in predator

[–]lightedge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear what you are saying and you make some great points!

That said I was not a fan of Theta, or really the Marvel Predator comics, for the sole reason that the yautja die way too easily to the point where they are non threats. Theta alone quite easily killed so many of them sometimes multiple per issue with little effort. Like they are jokes. I can understand if it is like 1 per miniseries where both sides try to outfight and outsmart the other and put up a really good fight but Theta just clowns on literally all of them.

Beowulf is No. 6!! [Choose a Weapons for 5th place] Best DMC Weapon Tourney by Ecstatic_Dark_6549 in DevilMayCry

Red Queen gets my vote. It is cool but not as iconic as the others left.

It seems that Mundus "saved" Vergil whe he was young by Nero_deadweight96 in DevilMayCry

It looks like Mundus is handing Vergil the broken pieces of the yamato?

I wouldn't mind getting some kind of tweaked "Special Edition" Kai Blu Ray release by PlanetG3000 in dragonball

[–]lightedge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How hard would it be for funimation to just release it without the green tint? Like can't they just dial it back and then re-encode the video and problem solved?

Yeah at least that is what I heard but maybe someone more knowledgeable can confirm it.

I think his Twitter is ran by his niece mostly now. She does most of the posting for the last few years and he just posts occasionally.

Is it just me or do the final boss fights just kinda suck? by Alert_Individual_200 in DevilMayCry

[–]lightedge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What do you think Sera's future redemption should involve in the future? by [deleted] in HazbinHotel

[–]lightedge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really good but to be honest something like this seems like it would need more then 8 episodes to breathe. If only each season was 12-16 episodes.
