You mean the part where people were killed and several others injured by a violent mob of right-wing extremists who were rioting over something that literally doesn't exist? Also: you're new here so I'll grant you some leeway, but check your sources before tossing around idiocy like that - I...

From the article you posted: "No one has been injured during these attacks" I know this is a completely foreign concept to people festering with a regressive ideological core, but "property" is not human lives, and "vandalism" is not "violence". [removed] But if you think you can get away with...

[removed] People either categorically proclaiming right-wing ideology as their motivation, or discovered to have done so explicitly due to right wing ideology adherence or indoctrination by right wing ideological elements, perform acts of domestic terrorism at least several times a year and...

My fault, I should have cropped out more of your post, because what I was responding to was just the sentence "The most dangerous thing to do is to expect the GOP to be incapable of a swivel to DeSantis or the like." I meant to focus on it being interesting to me that even baked into that...

Wait... what? That's kind of literally what I just said: that a particular model has been set for what the right expects of their candidates, and that model is Trump shaped - so whoever ends up being the new poster boy, be it DeSantis or whomever else, is going to have to present themselves in...

Hint: it's not the klan, and you don't show up on a wanted list when you're dead or already in custody.

*slow blink* I'm sorry I know this is a complete aside, but... there are people alive who actually think the great man theory is... even remotely viable? I can't even wrap my head around that, heh.

Though, even that is interesting: you'll note that one of the first things people say DeSantis is that he's "like Trump but competent" - so even if the GOP swivels to another human being, can the GOP pivot away from the role model? "Unflinching narcissist man-child psychotic regressive lunatic...

...happening" is the point. In the US as of 2022 right-wing extremist violence is the number one domestic terrorism threat - and in fact, it's the *only* domestic terrorism threat. There is no left-wing extremist violence in the US, full stop. That you have to go back to the 70s to try and find...

I mean, that's the narrative the the armchair intellectuals and media pundits like to foster, but the truth is: no. Some of us recognized that Trump is the single greatest Republican presidential candidate in 40 years, in that he is literally everything about US 'conservatism' made manifest into...

Liz Cheney is the quintessential modern day "but the trains ran on time" argument - I mean sure, the holocaust and all, but those train schedules! She's an absolute abhorrent political ghoul with one of the most consistent track records of immoral values and anti-American voting in the entire...

...Rs would pretend to try to ban it, Ds would pretend to not want them to do that, and everyone benefited massively from it. But they fucked up and *actually* did something about it, and now it's going to end up being decided with finality and they killed their golden goose. It's utter...

Culturally I agree, but that doesn't change the fact that to Democrats and Republicans themselves (as in, elected officials in the Senate and Congress) it still holds true. Elected representatives don't behave like bitter enemies waging an ideological war over the future of the human race - to...

...rights and human decency and endorse wage slavery, which created the issue of the vanishing middle class. Republicans are the ones trying to eradicate history or rewrite it more delicately. Those people vote for the problem. Those people *are* the problem. Democrats have fuck-all to do with it.

...base went into a sufficient froth over it, and even then they would just pay lip service to caring like they do with abortion, but never actually *do* anything about it. Don't forget: Ds and Rs are not enemies, they are rival teams - Republicans are like the Packers, and Democrats are the...

I mean, not to get too childish about it but you *literally* started attacking me personally and failed to engage with anything I said from your very first reply to me so I don't know what you're complaining about since that's the tone you set for this exchange. You started this thread with an...

OK good point there, that was a poorly worded sentence in terms of erroneously bridging together two adjacent but unrelated concepts.

...conditions of rural dwellers nor the political realities about their situation are things you have called into question. So, neither you nor *anybody* else in this thread have made an intelligible argument against any of the things I've said, you've only cried and clawed at your eyes over...

OK, which part of the election map I posted that shows precisely that is not true? *I noticed a typo in my original quote, I omitted the word 'rural' and didn't catch it. That should have read "every single rural county and district in the state is Republican" OK, which part of the vote...

Um, nope - it is literally how I said it is. Seems a bit of a wobble has come into some of the Southern districts around Pueblo, I'll grant you that, but it's factually accurate to say that: A. the districts in the Denver/Boulder/Ft Collins triangle are the regions that are Democrat. B. The rest...
