really bad instincts is my guess

this is a strategy that worked in like the 70s to maybe the 90s when there were a lot more swing voters

yeah his little podcast with fascist freaks will likely do more damage imo

i think he's banking on democratic primary voters not caring much about trans people. sadly, it's not a complete insane premise. but this is downstream of a set of really bad political instincts that will lead to his destruction in other ways

Sam 👁️ @samthenightowl.bsky.social · 21h

this triangulation shtick he's doing is weird since he's gonna have to explain this to democratic primary voters. and right wingers won't care regardless

yeah it's crazy to see that she's consistently bucking the republican establishment but her right-wing bonafides allow her to get away with it unharmed

i remember the puzzle place on PBS (which, fun fact, was produced by the Los Angeles affiliate of PBS first) and it was literally just a bunch of muppets of different ethnicities negotiating life in a diverse society in the mid 1990s. peak woke. we gotta go back

Trump: "The problem with Vietnam, we, you know, we stopped fighting to win. We would've won easy. We would've won Afghanistan easy. We would've won every war easy. But we got politically correct. 'Oh, let's take it easy.' We're not politically correct anymore, just so you understand."

Modelos are smooth as hell tho and it's clear why they've become like the #1 beer in america now

Sam 👁️ @samthenightowl.bsky.social · 5d

i got turned onto them when the dad of a good friend of mine from high school would occasionally offer me some when i'd go to their barbecues and stuff. i'm a beer casual tbh but they're really good. i won't turn down a modelo but i wish they'd get me drunker faster lol

Sam 👁️ @samthenightowl.bsky.social · 5d

i think the earliest most americans would willingly go back to is the 90s and even then you still gotta deal with stuff like the insane homophobia and gang violence

the article on this encyclopedia is gonna have by far the longest list of edits and the most detailed talk page imaginable

Sam 👁️ @samthenightowl.bsky.social · 6d

this is not gonna work because "grokipedia" doesn't even roll off the tongue well

grimm ☀️ @mugrimm.bsky.social · 6d

It's like wookipedia for guys who contribute to wookipedia.
