Can you think of a single movie in which there is a video from the government denouncing its political opponents playing on a loop in public spaces in which that government was the good guy?

A new Noem video is being played at airports trashing Democrats.

I mean that’s fine, but there’s no such thing as a leader that can take over for Schumer or Jeffries and fix this.

I desperately need you to understand the actual problem here instead of pretending Trump is the way he is because of Schumer and his hallucinated voters.

I can only be both if we could achieve the utopia with their wealth, and we can’t. You can’t buy food with shares of Tesla

Conservatives are wrathful because they perceive that society won’t let them kill people they don’t like. I’m wrathful because they’re killing people they don’t like and I want to prove them right.

I have no interest in watching ai slop. Does he want to bet me on whether I set foot in a movie theater again?

Obama won a lot of swing voters.

The real problem with chasing the base in a presidential general is that you can’t win the election doing that. I don’t care about running up the numbers in blue states.

No don’t you see that the US congress would be much more representative if it had all the exact same people in it but they had different letters after their name? Someone like Jeffries would never be able to assemble a coalition of all the left of center parties to attain leadership.. well shit.

The problem is that putting up a popular artist that they like isn’t good enough.

When I see who’s playing the SB I think “hey a talented artist that sells a lot of records” but to them he’s purposefully chosen to make them mad, so anything to mollify them has to make the libs mad.

Here’s my point:

1) Pick the biggest 3 things happening in politics right now

2) Ask yourself if you went back in time 6 months and told your past self about them, does past you go “I believe those would be the big issues we face”

News cycles move fast and reality goes with it.
