Wait until the roll out next week's ad featuring stills from the opening party scene from Gone with the Wind.

Vidalia, Vidalia
Girl won't you tell me why
Sweet Vidalia
You always got to make me cry

This has the potential to fuck things up. Badly.

In the bathroom stalls, in the Senate halls....be cruel or be cast out

I debated whether to stick this here or on the religion thread. But really, if JD Vance moves one combo meal away from the presidency, this tidal wave of white Christian nationalism is going to sweep up everyone whether they’ve given a moment’s thought to religion or not.

If you have ever wondered why people like @Hermes and I are so strident in our warnings about these people, it’s because we’ve seen this kind of thinking from the inside, the roots of what has grown into this monstrous perversion of religion.

These people are determined to rule everywhere from the town council to 1600 Pennsylvania. And if are not submitting to white men, you are the enemy. Trump says this stuff to get in good with these guys. They believe it down to their bones.

Everything goes back to white Christian men should rule over all. Everything.

There are lots of Christians, even conservative ones, who would reject this when it is all laid out at once. But there are lots of them eager to see it happen. And there are plenty of other conservative Christians softening the ground, unwittingly or not, for these ideas to take root.

 

I want these mouth-breathers to spell out where they got the idea that a majority of illegal immigrants are committing crimes in the U.S.

Then I want them to show me that illegal immigrants have a higher crime rate than U.S. citizens in general. (Because it's been documented that the opposite is true.)

I want them to show me these things, or really, STFU about immigrants. Period.

 

So one of the more bizarre subplots of North Carolina's unhinged gubernatorial race is that a Raleigh trust fundee is using his familial wealth to fund a super PAC called Americans for Prosparody that's been doing anti-Mark Robinson parody ads on social media and with mobile billboards in the state's larger cities.

Today, apparently, began a $1 million ad buy for an AI generated video of Robinson saying things he actually wrote in the past - mostly on Facebook.

It might be the strangest political ad I've ever seen.
