    “Yes! Culture war! That’s the priority right now! Look at all those made up enemies we need to fight! Nobody pay attention to the widespread corruption, collapsing standards of living, disastrous foreign policy, open treason with the enemy, stupid wars being declared for no good reason, dismantlement of checks and balances, blatantly illegal actions, complete disregard for the constitution, widespread anti-democratic practices, borderline revolting military, oh yeah and the Epstein files”

      It’s not really a culture war if they’re planning to kill all the trans people.

    Wow ok

    So like

    I feel like someone needs to bait him into saying the words “final solution”, just so it’s less ambiguous for the 5-10% of voters who are still somehow ambivalent about how all of this is unfolding.

    But at the same time, even if it he did say it, I genuinely don’t have a ton of faith that the fucking dipshits would even acknowledge it

      Most of the US won’t even understand the significance of him saying “final solution.”

      This isn’t me being a pessimist and cynical, I have just met many people over the past few years who are woefully ignorant of basic history :(

      I spoke to someone who somehow confused the American Revolution and the Civil War

        lol yeah… checks out

        If nothing else, the last decade has made it absolutely undeniable to me that there are an absolute shitload of willfully uninformed and intentionally ignorant people in this fucking country, and it’s only getting worse 🫠

      Bait him? Just let him talk long enough. “I got a plan, folks. Not gonna name names, but a man, big man, strong man, he came to me, tears in his eyes, he said to me, he said, when are you gonna do something to finally fix this place up? And I told him, I got a winner, I said. A big, beautiful final solution.”

    This is Trump saying that your vote actually does matter. Act accordingly, don’t fall for the useful idiots on here telling you otherwise.

    He is pandering to his Christo-fascist base.

    And yeah, he seems to prioritize that because it encompasses WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE… and those people are stupid af and programmed to follow their designated authority, unfortunately.

    That’s a big turnaround from the promise that he’d be the best LGBT president ever.

    Interest payments are at a trillion a year on the country’s debt. Better worry about how many genders there are.

      That’s exactly why this is a favorite political issue now.

      Abortion has also been very reliable for decades.

      These are “small ticket” issues that aren’t financially lucrative, and they’d rather have this argument than discussion of our military invasions, the FED, wages, universal healthcare, and other “big ticket” issues.
