"We face a race that tests if this country we cherish shall perish from the earth and if our earth shall perish from this country"

Huh?

For those that are wondering, this is referring to page 678 in project 2025 wherein Donald Trump will relocate the United States to the moon.

It's poetry, if it doesn't make sense it must mean you're unsophisticated ;)

I love this feature on your substack, but I realize I'm white knuckling my phone as I read a lot of the quotes because I'm thinking "I can't believe they want us to believe this, nobody's this fucking stupid", but I just drove to my usual diner for a quick burger and some Euphoric Recall and saw 3 Harris for Prez signs. So I was off by at least 3.

I thought the same thing. Then I turned on the TV.

“Set me up with an equivalent if Doug Emhoff”. Yep. Every woman lives to have a man who bangs the babysitter.

That's just socialism, you're sharing your husband with the working class.

In a nutshell, plaintively, I ask, in sympathy with podcaster Daryll Cooper "how are these not deal breakers?"

It’s entirely possible that the Democrats believe what their media is telling them. The feedback is deafening. Which is as it is intended to be.

I think there are a lot of people who think "They have to say this so people dumber than me vote correctly". I hear that sort of rhetoric all the time from smart people, it's just their elitism and condescension, one stark example was with the Covid pandemic "they have to fudge the truth or the unwashed masses won't get the vaccine". They of course end up getting fooled as well but I think many aren't believing the stuff 100% but think that telling lies is justified in the pursuit of some greater good.

Psychologists, the honest ones of which there are few, tell us that people will hear and see the same thing and have a completely different interpretation that is filtered by their own psychology. I think some of us have transcended that flaw... that tendency for our psychology to cloud and filter what is clear facts, truth and reality. But the Democrat party is overrepresented in those that have not.

Paul Simon must have been a psychologist back in the early 1970s:

"Still a man hears what he wants to hear, and disregards the rest"

Absolutely. I’ll put somewhat subtle comments on leftist articles and get likes. There is no self awareness.

They want to believe it. That’s enough

I'm somewhat fascinated by them picking Oprah to speak. She's a self-made billionaire, if anything repudiates their points about institutional racism and white supremacy it's her.

I think we started to sink lower in losing the country to the radical collectivists when we lost Rush Limbaugh, and no conservative politician or media personality had both the intellectually honesty and boldness to repeat terms like "Femi-Nazi" to negative brand the insane communist left like they negative brand the patriotic working class with terms like "fascist".

What we see is the politics of fear winning. The establishment that has taken control of the media and money can exploit their upset Twitter mobs of mostly raging females along with their low-T male lapdogs to threaten both media people and politicians on the right with a loss in likes, followers, clicks and ad revenue... and to keep what they have, these people shrink into compliant sissies while they fake a facade of opposition.

If Trump and the Republicans lose this election, it will not be Trump's fault. It will be the age-old repeat of tyranny exploiting greed and fear of weak people... especially the weak people that call themselves conservatives and Republicans.

Brad and present company excluded of course.

They aren’t just exploiting the greed and fear of weak people. They deliberately created the greed and fear in order to exploit it.

“We have Oprah, they have the My Pillow Guy. Vote accordingly.”

Because you should always base your vote on which side has the biggest celebrity 😐

'“Why Kamala Harris’ New Politics of Joy Is the Best Way to Fight Fascism” — Rolling Stone headline'

Do they cite https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_Through_Joy?

It is interesting to note how casually & intentionally the Democrats are normalising the notion that the choice of the people must be denied – in the interests of democracy, of course.

It's so hilarious because the reporter probably really thought she had a better answer.
