If you want to learn more about it than is frankly reasonable, Jamie Loftus recorded a detailed history including an interview with Naomi H.

This is totally fine by me, I don’t see the problem

Are those graphs accurate? The modern one seems right, but I have no idea about pre-revolution France

Oh word?

I spent way too long trying to figure out what “tgis” stood for

I got so much concern trolling for saying Biden was bad and should step down. People accused me of wanting fascism. They insisted I was naive and we should be standing behind Biden.

I just want to say to those people: you were wrong. Dumping Biden has wildly hurt Trump’s chances, and you were the ones arguing against it.

They do have a point. She hasn’t even been a game show host!

I’m like 80% sure Trump doesn’t want to end democracy.

Hmm. Interesting idea. I’m sure the next sentence won’t be completely consistent with Trump wanting to end democracy.

He just wants more attention, power, and to protect himself when he goes out after 4 years.

Oh.

Trump voters are the victim of a con, but the con is bigger than Trump. Conservatism in general is a con that needs misinformation networks like talk radio, fox news, facebook groups, etc. Without having been steeped in that bullshit for 40+ years, Trump would never have succeeded. It’s the whole ecosystem that’s doing the radicalization, not just Trump.

Oh you sweet, beautiful child. Never change.

expect the backlash to be swift and bloody

I do. I just think you and I have different ideas of who the target will be.

Playing video games isn’t optimal, but it is better than spending two hours teaching yourself that bed isn’t the place you sleep. If you don’t fall asleep in ~30 minutes (or feel like you won’t fall asleep) get up and read something, and try again in an hour or so.

This is … good? Fuck Trump, don’t vote for him, but diplomacy is good. Progressives should be advocating for an end to our economic warfare against the people of NK, and attitudes like this are moving in that direction.

Not all heroes wear capes

In March, the former president won enough primary races to secure the Republican nomination in the 2024 presidential election.

However, according to a survey of 1,003 Americans by Canadian polling firm Leger, Trump does not command the full support of his base and 33 percent of this demographic would have preferred another politician.

Another way of writing that 33 percent prefer another politician is that 67 percent prefer Trump. Last I checked, 67 percent support is enough to secure the Republican nomination.

Meanwhile, this proportion is higher (47 percent) among Republican voters aged 18 to 34 years old.

Again, another way of writing this is that 53 percent of Republican voters aged 18 to 34 years old support Trump. I’ll double check my arithmetic, but even this seems to be enough to win primaries.

With a title like “One in three Republicans now think Donald Trump was wrong candidate choice,” I would expect to see a poll which showed that fewer than “One in three Republicans” used to “think Donald Trump was wrong candidate choice.” That seems like a straightforward way to make the point this article is trying to make. Yet none is provided. Instead we are treated to some general electorate polling showing some minor fluctuation and some republicans who were already critical of Trump continuing to be critical of Trump.

The centrist will to make the Republicans look better than they are is so powerful.
