Cuomo Announces Plan To Govern New York City As Independent https://theonion.com/cuomo-announces-plan-to-govern-new-york-city-as-independent/

Wow it turns out the entire country is not permanently reactionary because Trump won an election by 1.5%

Normal People Don’t Want This Shit is running away with the vote tonight

This is going to get spun as a "thermostatic shift" chart, but it should be properly interpreted as a "information environment is broken" chart.

In 2024, voters didn't know what Trump would do, and so they shifted towards him based on vibes. Now they are finding out, and they hate it.

Agreed. Love her personality and fighting spirit, but not her affection for the far left. It will be an anchor around her neck.

Have been on airplanes, and out of news range, since early this afternoon.

And just now turning on news of election results. Wow wow wow.

(Showing restraint by not going into relentless "Dems in disarray" "Need a new message" MSM drumbeat.)

Congrats to all who stood up and stood together.

I hope these people can build on their success so that things don't flip again at the next election.

Either that, or it will encourage them to more strongly embrace Trump's anti-democratic authoritarianism.

And without setting up a dictatorship.

this is the most successful a CIA officer has been at toppling a government in years.

Normal politicians need to start making the case for government. You'd think it doesn't need to be argued for, but cynical attitudes toward government have only grown since Reagan's sarcastic: "I'm from the government and I'm here to help."

They aren't necessarily against those things, but when you capitalize them, it's an Orwellian indoctrination program. Look up "Motte and Bailey Fallacy".

That's it, the National Guard will now be appearing in every major city.

Yeah, it was a required course. I actually hated it because it was so subjective. I preferred to calculate numbers that could not be disputed. It's why I now discourage people from getting MBAs. Better to take a few finance and accounting courses and call it done.

A Confederacy of Toddlers The Trump administration is a regime of troubled children.

Brilliant article about our current infantile leadership, with a nice call to action towards the end by @radiofreetom.bsky.social:

Does an MBA count?

Damn, this poll is brutal! And it’s going to get worse…

The only folks still supporting Trump are MAGA Republicans, and even that won’t last much longer once the fact that Trump is just fine leaving them hungry really sets in.
#VoteDemToday

Those were Biden eggs, which were inferior and not worth the high premium that Trump eggs deserve.

I thought that was a tornado pictured and I thought "no shit it crashed".

People can be so willfully oblivious.

I wasn't aware they had any principles remaining

This is brilliant

As contemptuous as I am of Trump, I don't think he believes this. Just like I didn't think he put his pants on backwards a few years ago like all of Twitter believed. Some things are too ridiculous, even for Trump.

There's a good chunk that CAN read, but don't. What do we call that? Non-literate? Anti-literate?

What Democrats need now is to increase, not decrease, the number of votes they get.

They should try to make the tent bigger, not smaller.

They ought to stand for greater material wealth, not lesser material wealth.

They must welcome people, not turn people away.

Politics solved. Credit please.

Here you go:

I gave you a direct quote from the article.

"Claiming only people with some sort of advanced degree"

Your critical thinking skills have failed you if you think that I said that.

I agree that many people are unwilling to take even this minimal step.
