My whole family is from western PA (western Appalachia on this map), and they always called themselves midwesterners my entire life. Sounds crazy, but western PA is the beginning of the Midwest

One argument I tried to make to centrist, right-leaning folks during 2024 was that if you really hate street protest and unrest and chaos, then you should absolutely not vote for Donald Trump, because he 100% guarantees more.

So, where is the largest remaining antebellum plantation house now?

I don't think it's fully appreciated just how much Trumpism is a celebration of ignorance. Trump not only never learns but proactively avoids it. It's a braindead movement from the top down.

Yet if someone suggests that he can survive with $999 million, that is “jealousy”

these people hate DEI because they would be unemployable in any system where they couldn’t rely on favoritism and nepotism

Congress literally created an Alien Terrorist Removal Court for the expeditious removal of aliens who are designated as terrorists, under a preponderance of evidence standard.

Bernie Sanders grilling RFK Jr for selling anti-vaccination onesies is the energy I needed today.

legitimately our best case scenario for the next four years is that Trump gets pushback, backs down and declares victory

the more times that happens the better for everyone

also it demonstrates once again the value of pushing back on absolutely everything

The Spiderman meme, obviously

This is a screenshot from the other site that shows an image of Bishop Budde. The text, from an account named Ben Garrett, reads: Do not commit the sin of empathy. This snake is God's enemy and your too. She hates God and His people. You need to properly hate in response.

Probably time to talk about fascism and moral inversion huh
