  • Now with Trump a little less than two months from taking power, and giving Ukraine to Russia, Russia is flooding the field, daring NATO to step in, knowing they will not, this is going to be incredibly painful to watch, but not even in the same universe as the pain Ukrainians have and will be feeling at being abandoned by the western world that calls itself FREE. In the end it will come down to Russia being willing to go to war over Ukraine and the Western Free World not. Europe is nowhere, unwilling, and incapable of taking on Russia without the majority of will and support coming from The United States.



  • Do you think roaming bands of “Progressives”, egged on by Bernie Sanders, AOC, and The Squad, marching on main streets in ever major city in the country (and the world), and taking over university commons from coast to coast, threatening, badgering, attacking, and running off Jewish students, in defense of Islamic Jihadi terrorists seeing to kill half the Jewish population in the world in Israel, while screaming “From The River To The Sea” scared the bejeesus out of just Middle America, or all of it?

    Union or not, Working Class or not, having the “Leftist” mask slip so publicly, calling for what amounts to the end of one of the United States closest allies, chanting antisemitic slogans, in service of an Arab and Persian Islamic holy war, against the Jews, wasn’t the winner on national Television sets, all day and night, every day and night, from spring to summer, during an election year.

    I mean, who knew, right?



  • to answer this honestly more than dips the toe into racist stereotypes, and i’d like to have the honest conversation but will suffice to say, the guys i know (and this isn’t limited to that small group) appreciate strength, and a heavy hand from their government, almost above all other things.

    it would have been advantageous for democrats to have pointed out that, by and large, the nations from which a majority have immigrated from, are corrupt, and dangerous to the point where a living wage is unattainable, and the organs of state either could not or would not keep them and their families safe.

    that is what the united states can offer, with a government of by and for the people. now we fall considerably short of this, all the time, and have since the founding fathers, but we have an engine of economy, and relative comparative safety which continue to draw latino immigrants, legal and otherwise.

    it’s in pointing out the benefits, of a free egalitarian secular representative accountable democracy, which drew they and their families here in the first place, and explain, in detail, how corruption that the MAGA world was threatening, and displayed during Trump’s first term, would destroy all that they had come to this country for in the first place.











  • There is no argument for Republicanism, there is only racist authoritarianism and the complete destruction of egalitarian secular Democratic institutions.

    Lying is all they have, and for half of the American electorate, it’s enough.

    It won’t be enough in the long run when they start dying and their children have to work in the mines again, but for a brief shining moment before that (a million dead from a mismanaged and purposefully sandbagged viral pandemic response aside) they will bathe in the belief their white christian righteous superiority.



  • “grip” wasn’t what drew republicans to trump in the first place, it was the authoritarian racism, and he’s still got plenty of that, so they’re going to support him again, because republicans realized that they could never win on their arguments in a secular egalitarian democracy, which is why they’ve sought to tear it asunder since the civil rights act, with the southern strategy in 1966. trump isn’t a symptom, maga was always the goal.
