We’ve been Rhombus’ed! 
Are we sure that the delay wasn’t just because she’d forgotten how to breathe?
I keep seeing Republicans mentioning the idea that if they can stem the tide of illegal immigrants this will somehow solve America’s drug crisis. So:
Poor migrants with nothing more than the clothes on their backs are moonlighting in narcotics.
Drugs only come from one place, presumably the buttholes of said migrants.
Once the border is secured, there will be no more drugs.
Americans will be cured of addiction once they are deprived of choice.
It’s that easy! Wow, I’m amazed no one has ever thought of depriving junkies of drugs before! What an amazing innovation! I can’t wait to see how it turns out!
Cry a Lake is calling herself the “duly elected governor”.
Fortunately, this is on White-wing radio, so it should get limited exposure.
Why is that fortunate? Isn’t it better if as many people as possible get to see what a whackjob she is?
“There is no such thing as bad publicity.” We need to severely reduce the oxygen supply to the crazy noisemakers.
How did that work out with Trump?
It normalized being a whackjob. Which is how we ended up with Lake like this.
The lack of a red wave last year, along with a few personal encounters while canvassing, has given me hope that moderate Americans are waking up to the shitshow of today’s GOP. If true, then antics from folks like Lake will only resonate with true MAGAts but further alienate everyone else.
I concede this may be complete wishful thinking.
What you’re seeing is not the return of Trump voters to reason but their movement to a different (but equally unreasonable) leader. Actual moderates don’t vote GOP anymore.
I have no expectation that hardcore Trump supporters (as opposed to voters) will ever return to reason. But an old friend of mine who voted for Trump in 2016 out of habitual Republicanism has since become disgusted by the entire GOP. Their response to COVID turned him around and the Big Lie sealed it.
How it’s going:
The Party that 360 degree vomits together, congeals together.
Respectfully, even though he was a “habitual” Republican, didn’t Trump’s behaviour during his campaigning suggest to him that something wasn’t right?
He believed (and still does) that Hillary would have been terrible, and that other Republicans would keep Trump in line if he won*. He admits he was completely wrong about that last part.
(*He also thought Trump was sure to lose, and since we live in Illinois he knew his vote wouldn’t help Trump win anyway.)
Ah ok. Thanks for that. I find the whole “Hillary is so bad that I’ll vote for Trump” thing fascinating, and I never truly understood it.
Yeah, the “Hillary would have been much worse” POV-- never understood how anyone could imagine her being worse.
I guess by selling children into slavery or something.
Quite simple really. - mi·sog·y·ny
- dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women.
In a pizza restaurant basement.
A thing that was actually believed by actual people, including General Flynn’s son (allegedly).
If you believed (as my friend did) that the GOP would guardrail Trump into being a more or less normal GOP president, and you also believed Dem policies to be generally worse than GOP policies, then you would logically think Hillary would be worse than Trump.
At least in my friend’s case, this could not be further from the truth.
