Hopefully we get to see the end of the movie.

He never intended to build the Hyperloop. From the start, it was a lie to shut down a proposed project to build a west coast high speed rail line.

I'm sure if they take power, their first order of business would be to legalize all Nazi symbolism and drop the "we're just run of the mill conservatives" facade entirely.

The wound predates Reagan and goes back to the Civil War. Sherman had the chance to cauterize it, but he held back and let it fester, and here we are.

Yeah, something about this shift in focus feels like a psyop. We have clear evidence of targeted voter suppression, destruction of ballots, etc. In a two party system, fraudulently removing your opponent's votes has exactly the same impact as creating fake votes for yourself. That's already clear evidence of fraud, why are we redefining "evidence of fraud" as a new thing that we haven't found yet?

So it's a perfect analogy for conservatives.

Again, the corrupt and unsound form of speaking in the plural number to a single person, you to one, instead of thou, contrary to the pure, plain, and single language of truth, thou to one, and you to more than one, which had always been used by God to men, and men to God, as well as one to another, from the oldest record of time till corrupt men, for corrupt ends, in later and corrupt times, to flatter, fawn, and work upon the corrupt nature in men, brought in that false and senseless way of speaking you to one, which has since corrupted the modern languages, and hath greatly debased the spirits and depraved the manners of men;—this evil custom I had been as forward in as others, and this I was now called out of, and required to cease from.

Thomas Ellwood, ca. late 1600s.

The lethality is 52%. If it rips through the population, we're looking at total collapse well before the vaccine is available.

Because people who don't understand what words mean label every possible post-capitalist system as communism even though they're as different from each other as they are from capitalism.

Every suppressed vote is as fraudulent as any fake vote.

A lot of Trump voters are horribly uninformed. They didn't know - and still don't know - what Project 2025 is. They thought it was fearmongering because they only heard about it from Dems. They have no idea what's happening right now, nor do they care. All they know is their team won, and they're otherwise tuned out. Maybe they'll wake up when they feel the effects, but they'll probably just blame Democrats because Fox News tells them to.

You won't even know they're ads, it will just implant false childhood memories, giving you positive associations with the brand.
