So not only does Trump have his largest average lead yet in the primary as of today, but in the vast majority of the recent general election polls he's now doing better against Biden than DeSantis. I have to say it's kind of fun to see Meatball imploding even before officially announcing, especially since his stans on Twitter and Reddit have big Elizabeth Warren energy from the 2020 primaries.

Was Tucker really not allowed to say certain things at Fox? He pretty much was doing the blood and soil thing already.

O'Reilly pretty much disappeared after he was let go from Fox, it might be different for Tucker but it's unlikely to go better for him.

It was kind of fun seeing chuds take multiple Ls today. They're so fucking mad.

Makes DeSantis' chances less likely at least.

Fascism is especially popular with young people? I can't agree.

He is probably among the least cash-rich of the extremely wealthy, nearly all of his wealth is tied up in overinflated stocks and he's been exposing himself as an idiot daily ever since he bought Twitter to the point that the myth of his genius has collapsed even in sectors that used to constantly blow smoke up his ass. It's unlikely that he'll stop being rich altogether but I could definitely see him get to just "regular" uber-wealthy.

Hasn't the second one made over a billion dollars now? Sure it won't end up as highest grossing movie of all-time but it's still going to make a shit ton of money.

My twitter is having trouble loading tweets, I keep getting error messages and it looks like I'm not alone.

~3,000 outages reported in the last hour compared to a baseline of 14.

People like Matt Walsh and Chris Rufo who have spearheaded the Republican anti-trans movement were doing a victory lap early in the day yesterday about how their efforts have made attacking transpeople (especially kids) a winning issue for Republicans and now have to backtrack.

Having a good time seeing all those smug anti-trans chuds on Twitter having to eat shit after they were so confident that attacking trans kids was going to be a winning strategy. Get fucked.

We make fun of the Democrats so much here that we sometimes forget that the GOP are just as capable of fumbling the bag. What an absolute embarrassing night for them.

Boebert might actually lose lmao

I can't wait for Trump to destroy DeSantis' career.

He is panicking for sure. Twitter was unprofitable before he bought it, and now he has $1 billion/year in debt interest payments that he has to cover. He was forced to buy it so he definitely realizes how bad a deal it was, and if advertisers are fleeing it's looking worse by the day.

MTG for both funniest and most likely.

Here's a reddit comment explaining what the Vox article gets wrong

TLDR: Vox treats a simple majority as an overwhelming majority, when in the former case almost as many people "win" as "lose". If you change the benchmark to 75%, the affluent get their way twice as often with policies they support and are successful at stopping nearly all policies that they're strongly against. Strong support among high-income Americans roughly doubles the probability that a policy will be adopted; strong support among the middle class has essentially no effect.

PS: I also find it kind of ridiculous to put the affluent and the middle class on an equal playing ground like Vox does, given that the latter is so much larger than the former. Even if Vox is right it's still really bad.

My brother who's still a bit of an enlightened centrist is trying to pull the "Fuck Bolsonaro he's the bigger evil but damn you know your country's fucked when your savior is a guy who got jailed for massive corruption."

Put bluntly, if conservatives want to save the country they are going to have to rebuild and in a sense re-found it, and that means getting used to the idea of wielding power, not despising it.

Ah yes, conservatives are famous for hating to wield power.
