The future of the GOP is overt inceldom.
Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”
Nick Fuentes: “The number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”

In these uncertain times there is something comforting in how utterly predictable some things still are.
Imagine a President bulldozing 1/3 of our Historic White House pocketing $300 million and that doesn’t even crack the top 100 most destructive, vile, disgusting things he’s done, yet here we are

Like Trump, their capacity for vice is intuitive, instinctual, pre-reflective. As natural as breathing.

Honestly shocked none of these companies haven’t named themselves Panopticon. We’ve already got Palantir.

Conspiracy cultures have all come together. This, and the biggest-scale redistribution of wealth from bottom to the top in human history, are why so many people are going off the deep end.

Now every time a new Knights of the Seven Kingdoms ep drops all my brain can think is some version of “Knights of the the seven inches flacid in winter”. This is not a complaint, just an observation.

It’s also super funny to watch the right try to make a moral argument of any sort at this point. Sorry my dudes, that ship has sailed, caught fire and sank.
so funny to see republicans complaining about this as if they have not been pulling this shit for 15 years.

I worry that folks don’t realize just how normalized this stuff is on the right at this point. Southern strategy is done, we’re back to people openly defending overt racism, and have been for a while. I think the self-denial is strong for those whose jobs depend on pretending it ain’t so.
President Donald Trump went on a wild social media posting spree late Thursday night and into Friday morning, one that included a video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes.
