A few actual replies to a recent Twitter post which AOC made in response to an article by The Hill, which stated: Tomi Lahren suggests Ocasio-Cortez is successful on Twitter but not "in real life"
These are real people. They vote. And they are making it clear that being white is not OK. I didn't even edit that picture, I just hit PrtScn and then re-scaled it to a size that fits onto the 1920x1080 monitors which most of you peasants are using.
This is the will of the people.
The Founding Fathers of the US went to great lengths to ensure that the will of the people was heard, and was a dominant force in the structure and function of the government.
The problem is that they failed to foresee a future in which The People were actively demanding that Big Brother and the Thought Police be put in place to govern them.
I say this seriously: blaming democrats or republicans for (X) is missing the point. The electorate themselves are a far more terrifying force. And understand the following: From their point of view, those of us who would encourage moderation and open dialogue are oppressors who must be resisted and ultimately overthrown.
As someone who suffers from an inability to identify musical notes, I find the use of the term "tone deaf" to describe ***** who cannot comprehend the mindset of whichever mob happens to be making the largest noise at any given time to be offensive.
I honestly have no idea. My friend Pat, who lives in LA, is a football fan, and he's definitely the sort who was wearing an "I'm with Her" badge, marching in anti-democracy rallies, and going door to door to spread the word about liberal candidates for local offices.
I found an interesting study of the political demographics of NFL fans:
FEBRUARY 4, 2019 By Kelsey Harkness“Ivanka Vacuuming” is now a thing in the nation’s capital. Because art, or something.
The exhibit, on display at CulturalDC’s former Flashpoint Gallery in Washington, D.C., is a piece of “performance art” where an Ivanka Trump lookalike wearing a pink dress with bows and stiletto shoes vacuums crumbs off a plush, pink carpet. To make the spectacle interactive, onlookers are encouraged to take crumbs from a pedestal and throw them at her to vacuum up.
I'd argue that "Why you can't argue with an extremist" is probably more appropriate. While it's true that many at the extreme-left are more interested in the means (increase size of government, take away guns) than the end, the true is also largely largely true for many at the extreme-right (ban abortions, build a wall, etc.)
It's difficult to have a productive debate when you, or your opponent, are more interested in proving the other guy wrong than about doing what's right.
When protecting the narrative becomes more important than the outcome, then everyone loses.
I think it's safe to assume that Nortam is gonna resign. He'll get nothing from the state party and I can already see that the DNC has completely ignored him.
I'm interested to see how they spin Fairfax becoming governor while he's got sexual assault allegations pending. But, since VA governors are limited to a single 4yr term, and technically Fairfax would be appointed instead of "winning an election", he could feasibly get the nod to actually run for Governor and serve 7 years. I doubt the VA political machine would let that happen since Herring is next in line anyways.
For those that don't know, VA party politics works like this... you can only serve one term in any one seat. And since all VA politicians are lawyers, they normally start out as a state secretary of something... Secretary of Education/Transportation/Commonwealth(State)... then move up to Attorney General (or Asst AG), then Lt. Governor, then Governor, then Senator (both current Senators, Mark Warner and Tim Kaine are both fomer Governors)... then make a bid for the White House. So, basically the same group of ******** runs the state for 15-20yrs at a stretch.
Both houses of the state legislature swung dramatically RED in 2000, but have been coming back to even ever since. Governors can be blue or red, but I see in the next couple years, the state turning completely BLUE and instantly trying to out-do California and New York as the hotbed of progressive bullshit. It's gonna happen.
^While not the same rules, the idiots in my state (Oklahoma) tend to continually vote for the same stuff/party that screws them over.
Mary Fallin was one of the worst governor's in the history of the state, and the country. So what did the reeeeeeeeeeeee's do for last year's election? Vote in Fallin Jr with Kevin Stitt. The guy who is such a crook his mortgage company had been banned from doing business in OK, and many other states, and the dipshits here just voted him right in. Which he then stacked the regulatory board and got his company able to business here again.
