    "Tweet Less. Listen More." is a Hamilton reference which makes me want to die.

      But like, "talk less, smile more" was the statement that was meant to tell you Burr's big character flaw. Why would they adopt that line as a good thing

      Like, Hamilton's dogshit, but if you're going to engage with it, at least do it better than that

        Bud I don't know what to tell you, these are idiots who will quote "Immigrants get shit done" out of nowhere and sound like insanely racist dipshits

          Oh I know. Like, remember that bit from Knives Out where the guy quoting that line was meant to make you cringe?

          Like, I know they engage with this on a really surface level, I just get so frustrated each time I see it, especially in a context like this where you'd imagine there'd be a bit of a vetting process to make sure the messaging was right. Fuck, it's not even surface level- Burr has an entire song where he explicitly talks about this being his flaw, it's right there explicitly in the text why would you adopt that line uggggghhhhh

          I have said it a thousand times, if Trump had half a brain he could be personally gassing brown people while Xeni Xardin eats his ass.

          Like, just think about this: he passing some "Medicare for White People", acted paternalistic and properly started a war with Iran. He would be 80% vote intention everywhere.

          Of course, first get lean and change your hairstyle for bald+beard.

          Mfer can't even do fascism right

            Exactly. Coulda done Huey Long, but he keeps talking about what he's TRYING to do so he keeps fucking himself in the courts.

          Y'all talk like we haven't already had a few of them. It's just our fascists like to serve for 4 or 8 years.

              It's why I always crack up when people say that fascism COULD come to the US. We have had fascism for a long time. Nazis took a lot of our policies and amped them up.

                  Yeah it was insanely frustrating in 2015 posting about ICE doing midnight raids and no one paying any attention to it. It's all about respectability with Americans, not so much about fascism.

                      Literally Operation W*tback took place in 1954 where tons of Mexican migrants (and US citizens of Mexican descent) were deported en masse but someone please blow smoke up my ass about this Greatest Generation garbage

      I think the tide is already swinging back to Trump's favor as the botched COVID response becomes more distant

        Trump outraised Biden in July and reached a billion First (I think could be wrong about the being first thing) and the swing state numbers jumped for trump last month. Biden is fucked

      What’s even worse is that they would have considered Bernie Sanders if it was him vs Trump

      0% of the people who are cool with Trump strictly due to his tax cuts regardless of how he handled COVID or anything else he’s done would have actually considered Bernie had he been the Dem candidate. I have a libertarian friend who “likes Bernie” but he also thinks AOC is determined to destroy America. These types of people literally only care about their bag.

      You realize if Trump beats Biden/Harris it won’t be because they didn’t run far enough to the left it’ll be because Trump did a good enough job of planting the idea that under a Biden/Harris administration every city and suburban town would have its own CHAZ and section 8 housing would be mandatory in every neighborhood around the country. Kamala being a cop is a feature for the majority of the electorate right now, including the Democratic base. America is basically a massive death cult at the end of the day.
