The MAGA who regret voting for Trump, will 100% vote for the next Trump regardless of how much of a racist bigot he is.
They haven't actually learned their lesson. They're just mad they're getting hurt too.
These people didn't vote FOR Trump, they voted AGAINST vulnerable communities.

Indeed. The moderates who wail "all views matter" have clearly never been in a room with someone who wants them dead merely for existing.
It's Popper's paradox of tolerance writ large, but they're too insulated by privilege (and lacking in basic empathy) to understand.
'centrists' are the extremists.
im tired of this lie that murdering disabled ppl, persecuting lgbt+ ppl, being racist xenophobic shitbags is all just perfectly reasonable, normal, moderate grown-up politics.
you ppl are disgusting and insane.
Water privatisation has failed. South East Water spent more on shareholder dividends than on infrastructure. Now the taps aren't working in Kent and Sussex.
Tell Emma Reynolds and Ofwat, bring South East Water into public ownership immediately.

The United States was literally founded by fundamentalist religious (Christian) extremists and capitalist ventures built on slavery, genocide, and ecological exploitation - all rooted in Eurocentric YT supremacy and patriarchy.
We either dismantle this entire rotten system or go extinct.
Not that I've seen, sadly. But these things are never straightforward at the best of times. Sigh. At least we still have some beautiful art β€οΈ

Trans people are under attack.
They are trying to make them going out in public illegal.
They are taking away their licenses.
If you cannot see that the moment you unpeople one demographic, you create a gray area for every other demographic, you're beyond hope.
Trans rights are human rights.
True. Adaptation is a dark art at the best of times. A wonderful challenge, though. It would be incredible to see how such things as the different branches of metapsychics could be translated to screen.

Like Las Vegas, Dubai to me truly feels like something out of ancient myth, e.g. the island of the Lotus Eaters.
An opulent but superficial "paradise" built on and supported by slaves, while those who partake of its riches drift unknowing and uncaring into a coma of stoned-out apathy.
Labours attitudes towards water companies is one of the starkest examples of how they'll do anything to protect the status quo.
The case for water nationalisation is so bloody obvious to everyone - yet they'll do anything they can to keep the failed privatisation experiment.
War does not lead to the liberation and safety of women and girls.
Violence and bloodshed driven by old men and the patriarchy will never be the path to freedom for women and girls.
The system is rigged against us.
The patriarchy must fall.
Wow.
The Green Party aren't just in second place on 21%.
They are FIVE points ahead of Labour.
The Gorton and Denton by-election is convincing Labour voters the Greens aren't a wasted vote.
And they're just 2 points behind Reform!
MPsβ basic salary to rise to Β£110,000 by end of parliament, watchdog says.
This should be accompanied by a total ban on second jobs, which in most cases is a corporate bribe. Must end all conflict of interests.
Being a MP is a full time job. MPs must act exclusively as MPs.
It's fascinating to watch cooler Labour heads like Sadiq Khan and Andy Burnham say that comparing the Greens and Reform together is a terrible tactic.
Yet Labour ministers are hourly on shows keeping up the same narrative.
The Green Party and Reform are completely the opposite!
The choice is stark. Reform are the party of foreign wars and high bills.
The Greens want de-escalation and energy security through renewables. Solar and wind prices don't fluctuate when rogue US presidents launch illegal bombing campaigns.
I also came across this wonderful album inspired by the Galactic Milieu trilogy. Pure 90s nostalgia and some really quite poignant themes: soundcloud.com/simonthebad

Did you see the announcement about Nick Dudman's proposed adaption? Even if it never gets made, there's some truly incredible concept art in the reel.

I feel sadness and anger in equal measure, but above all I feel frustration with a system that allows such evil and pain.
Because as Caitlin puts it:
βThe world will never know peace until we cease to allow such creatures to rule over usβ

Still do. Nevermind the expansive world building, the ginormous and complex cast, the mystery and intrigue and diversity of ideas all converging in such a dazzling tapestry, it's also, hands down, the most sublime example of a full-circle narrative paradox I've ever encountered.

Farage cannot cope with his own unpopularity. At all.
With the mediaβs help and huge foreign donations, his ego has been massaged into such a state of entitlement that he thinks heβs answerable to no one and simply owed power.
Itβs become a national imperative to prove him wrong.
