We have 0% interest in Canada, but the way people tell it our Liberals and Trudeau specifically has never done anything good for anyone.

No need to apologize if you ask me.

I guess we’ll see.

In the US system capping the house makes no sense. If the lower chamber represents the population, and the upper the states, capping the house just forces the house to more reflect the states more and dilutes the individual power of people in more populated states. The result is a right lean, since right leaning states are less populated overall. Gross.

Nah, the GOP are trying to future proof themselves from criticism. They’re banking on rose colored glasses being on for pre-Trump republicans.

Provocative headline, good read.

On a less serious note, does the small Nazi in us have an even smaller Nazi inside them?

This is an important observation that I wish more people would make. Conservative groups constantly pick at the fringes of behaviour to justify their policy positions.

You see if everywhere once you know to look.

This city should not exist.

I don’t put my fast food experience on my resume, it was 25 years ago, but I have brought it up in interviews to talk about team work and pressure, and to demonstrate that I’ve been learning and improving for 25 years.

Indeed, as I said in another thread my conservative relatives are too busy “protecting” their kids from trans people in under 8 sports to stop and think about whether or not its right to slap their own kids for minor misbehaviour.

They’re basically that Seymour Skinner meme. They go to college, don’t grow as people at all, then stand around like:

“Did I learn nothing from my time here? No, it’s the educated who are wrong”

Right? What does he thinks the VP does exactly?

This is how fascists win, by being free from consequences.

Facists love the law, as a tool to absolve themselves and make their facism legal, while lending legitimacy to their attacks on opponents.

This is a good read: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/dec/22/america-fascism-legal-phase

Excerpt:

For a far-right party to become viable in a democracy, it must present a face it can defend as moderate, and cultivate an ambiguous relationship to the extreme views and statements of its most explicit members. It must maintain a pretense of the rule of law, characteristically by projecting its own violations of it on to its opponents. In the case of the takeover of the mainstream rightwing party by a far-right anti-democratic movement, the pretense must be stronger. The movement must contend with members of that party who are faithful to procedural elements of democracy, such as the principle of one voter one vote, or that the loser of a fair election give up power – in the United States today, figures such as Adam Kinzinger and Elizabeth Cheney. A fascist social and political party faces pressure both to mask its connection to and to cultivate violent racist supporters, as well as its inherently anti-democratic agenda.

And because there weren’t consequences on Trump, he’ll do it again. Trump is working on it right now, soft or violent, legal or extra legal, he’s working on it.

Not weird at all.
