"We scream about freedom while we vote for fascists. We call ourselves 'pro-life' while cheering on the death penalty, forced birth, and militarized police. We are a country of contradictions, yes—but mostly, we are a country of assholes."

Kid Rock is mad because "8 Mile" was supposed to be his story....

I think I figured out who they really life "Stan" is.

We just need Eminem to confirm.

Is Stan Kid Rock? 🤣😂😭

Psst, kid, cowboy hats are the most ridiculous fashion statement on the planet… especially for soft, doughy, beta male cucks like you who were born in suburban Michigan.

Watch the space. MTG will be first in line when it comes to complaining that there won't be a 2028 election.

Those folks would rather starve if it meant Blacks and Latinos could eat, too.

The deep south mentality has not changed. The 70s-00s was the southern hospitality version of it.

I think it’s moreso her Klan constituency has their stormtroopers and are on to the next agenda items like food costs.

It’s not that the racists don’t have same material concerns, they just really think step 1 is white power.

Step 2 so why is healthcare so expensive?

MTG is softening the way someone looking to run for a statewide/national ofc does.

She'll never be a Dem, but she will be less MAGA more centrist now-2028.

Even she knows beyond Trump, MAGA is not sustainable. They're tired of him. He's putting limits on their power. They ran for the power.

Maybe read what I wrote before getting offended. YOU misunderstood the point. I made.

We don't know each other. So I will be polite and mute. Folks already saw what I did to Kid Rock and that wasn't personal. Imagine what I'm like when it gets personal!

1. I'm a he

2. I think you were so focused on the point you were trying to make that you didn't receive that I was basically agreeing with you lol.

3. Have a great weekend.

There's something I want to point out in how we interpret information differently and generationally. This person had a valid point, if the second paragraph (sentence) of my OP was the point. It wasn’t, but that is whT she took from it. My point was in the last sentence. I had to tell her. FYI.
akstaggers.bsky.social
Sharing this because I think it is a good learning tool to see how we filter what others mean though our own eyes. You thought I meant her positions because I said she wasn't going to be a Dem and softening. My point was she's looking for higher office and more power, she'll say anything for it.

The problem with being either far right or far left is you end up creating a circle. MTG is in that circle. She will ping pong between far right and far left positions.

Seems you got distracted by my first sentence and thought I was speaking on political positions. I was not. FAR from it.

My point was about the quest for power---which is how I ended my post "they ran for the power."

Congress has secded ALL its power to Trump and certain members don't like it.

This might be controversial to say, but maybe the country does need to grind to a screeching halt. Like a quarantine halt for ppl to remember our govt workers. What if POTUS couldn't fly to play golf because all govt workers were in a class action suit after he said he may not pay them?

I blame the Dems who have MAGA in their own family, friend set, skinfolk and won't talk to them, but think that people who are in the skin that MAGA hates have a "moral responsibility" to and actual can get through to them. There are TOO many of those.

Fox News, OAN, Newsmax, News Nation had reporters in Portland on the ground 24/7 in the summer of 2020.

They have literally no one filming the peaceful streets because that would be antithetical to the story they wanted to tell. So they just take his word for it.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

I fell asleep during Dateline so I'm pissed! Woke up w/spilled juice all over the place, lost headphones and my tablet somehow ended up behind the couch. But NO...

The 1st thing I see is Kid Rock CHOOSING to look like the whole trailer park when I know different. Sis, I got time this morning!
akstaggers.bsky.social
He's MAGA, they created, believe in and live by the one drop rule. His son is Black. Every time they see that young man not with Kid Rock, he's Black and subject to all the racisms and potential harms that come when white people don't mind their own business. And KNOW they never had "the talk."

He needs to not flaunt the sacred Detroit logo.
No one wants to see that on him.

MAGA=Make Argentina Great Again

Right. The fact that in 1994, the mother of his children (a BW) said all 3 were his when, in fact, only 1 was has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the fact that he is a bitter racist now with a particular disdain for Black women. None at all!
akstaggers.bsky.social
And giving $20 billion in our tax dollars to Argentina whose prez was performing on stage.

But, Trump will NOT pay:
Military
TSA workers
Air Traffic Controllers
All the people who make his food (which, IMO, would get paid first! I read "Bullwhip Days.")

Think I will recommend that book next.
