    -Countless corruption scandals in a Republican cabinet will be considered unremarkable but the absence of them in a Dem cabinet won't be considered at all.
    -Republicans can pretend to blow a mic or hang a Mike and no one will care

    You may have noticed I've changed my terminology somewhat.

    The reason being that the use of certain names in combination with certain keywords causes certain eyes and ears to perk up. And the eyes and ears can cast their gaze back into the past. Life is hard without the internet. Better not to poke the bear too much.

    Well, the liberal media sets the rules ...

    An addendum to this post. In Nevada, where you can vote "none of the above," 17,o00 voters voted for Trump and then marked "none of the above" in all the other races on the ballot.

    I don’t doubt many people went along with Trump because they feel economic pain. More than a few Germans in the 30s disliked the social changes the Nazis promised but the price of schnitzel was so out of control they felt compelled to just go with it.

    And whenever we studied WWII in high school, nobody was sympathetic to them for that. Not even the most reactionary good ole boys, the ones we all knew would never crack open a book once they had diploma in hand, thought that was a defensible position.

    If your point of view is that you don’t believe in subjugating women and minorities but you stand to profit from those that do, I’m not sure why I’m supposed to feel a whole lot better about you.

    Oh, and I drive a 15-year-old car into the ground four nights a week delivering food as a side hustle to afford rent and medicine, so anybody that wants to write me off as elitist can line up for a dick punch.

    You must be not just an elitist but a coastal elite.
    Your tent is small.
    I think I have this right.
    Am I missing anything?

    I dunno, maybe try not telling others to get over how they feel about a monumental moment in their life?

    Maybe start there?

    Maybe let us grieve about our neighbors who now face mass deportations or forced birth or loss of affordable health care or a slew of other atrocities?

    The responses of Trumpists and their apologists:

    These are negligible compared to the price of eggs.
    If you’re worried about the complications of pregnancy, don’t open your legs.
    If you’re worried about people who might get deported, you might be guilty of harboring guilty people.

    But remember, children: Trump is the Christian in this. If Jesus were alive today, he’d vote for Trump.

    My favorite I read here was the cost of season tickets. That's Biden's fault. And why you should vote for Trump. Jesus Fucking Christ.
