I think that’s actually a worse scenario. Trump, while evil, doesn’t really have the focus or energy to fully enact the entire range of bullshit he could/people say he will. If Vance takes over, his billionaire puppeteers are in full control and he’ll enthusiastically continue on with Project 2025. If there’s an election in 2028, he gets to run with the advantages of being the incumbent President instead of a VP taking over from his predecessor.
As I said to my Mom earlier today: White nazis? That’s no problem for them. Black nazis? That’s where they draw the line.
Habits, familiarity, convenience, complacency
With everything else, yeah, that tracks
Yeah, I probably should’ve put won in quotes, but I’d argue there’s still a small difference between running as the incumbent and the situation with Clinton. Not that it really fucking matters now.
So where do you think the lines would get drawn? West Coast and New England + New York are the obvious ones to do their own thing. Pennsylvania cuts off the DMV area from New York/New England, unless we go on a county level and excise just the area around Philly to keep the whole northeast Atlantic together.
Is Chicago just left as an island in the Midwest? The red staters certainly won’t want it, and without it Illinois basically is a red state. RIP to the other midwest and southern cities too.
Colorado and New Mexico together would be quite fucked being landlocked in a sea of red otherwise.
Congratulations to Hawaii on its regained independence I guess. Alaska would probably be offered up to Putin as a thank you gift from Trump.
Do you think all the red states stay together as a single entity? Texas is an obvious candidate to decide to fuck off on its own, possibly Florida as well. But would South Carolina really care all that much to stay tied to Montana, for example, or vice versa?
Though to be fair, Biden won the (practically uncontested) primaries in 2024 and probably would have gotten his shit stomped in just as hard
Bold of you to assume I have my shit together enough to do any of this. Sounds nice though, and I wish you all the best.
Like: pretty much everything
Dislike: wish there was more activity in the D&D comms
I once got fired for changing the title of my personal homepage of our ticketing software to “Fuck this fucking shithole”. Bosses found out when they cloned my account for testing while I was on vacation.
In their defense, it was pretty stupid of me to do that. In my defense, fuck that fucking shithole.
Dr first is the syntax I subscribe to
He had a good thing bringing UBI into the national conversation, other than that he comes off very disingenuous and self-interested to me, and lacks the qualifications for the positions he has run for.
*Can someone explain the downvotes?
Cuz fuck him, that’s why
Can confirm, gave Uncle my life savings and it’s so well hidden even I don’t know where it is!
I also strip off “m.” leading URLs…
Bless you kind netizen
This is the real trickle down economics. Lobbying leads to lax regulation on companies leads to influencers exploiting the system for gain as well.
Instructions unclear, I put on the brain washing machine then hit head with hammer, clothes don’t smell any different though
Anyone concerned with whether the democrats “who we serve” page mentioned men specifically was unlikely to vote for a woman of color anyway.
