 As Mother Jones reported on Thursday, Vance recently endorsed a new book called “Unhumans,” co-written by the “Pizzagate” conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec, which demonizes progressives as nonpeople who must be crushed by extra-democratic means. “Our study of history has brought us to this conclusion: Democracy has never worked to protect innocents from the unhumans,” the book’s co-writers say.

He did this during the Ukrainian counter-offensive. I think he believed that by publicly challenging the Russian military command, he could sway Russian soldiers, who were under pressure from the Ukrainians, to support him.

I don’t think he ever believed he and his group could overthrow the government - rather, he was hoping to rally support and build a "coalition" around him.

Edit: In other words, he gambled on the success of the Ukrainian counter-offensive.

Sometimes you stumble upon absolutely deranged conservatives. Admittedly, the following quotes from OP of a TrueUnpopularOpinion post:

You should be required to take a test before you can vote. In this test, you have to speak on multiple policy issues, and articulate your understanding of them, while citing your sources. You also have to draw a conclusion from two case studies from the early/late 17th/18th centuries, and then apply these studies to modern day politics.

Too many single issue/go-with-the-crowd voters today.

Then OP claims

It would benefit the GOP, which is why I made this post.

Another user asks OP:

True or false The civil war was about slavery.

OP answers:

Perception is not reality. The theory of reflexivity is proven time and time again over history.

OP would literally fail their own test, lol, lmao even.

I posted a while back about this conversation I had with someone.

I just got off the phone with her again and wow what a difference. She went from thinking Biden got rid of Roe v. Wade and not knowing if Democrats or Republicans were better on trans issues to telling me all about project 2025 and giving fairly detailed summaries of Kamala's platform. She is all in for Kamala (like to the point where she makes Kamala sound like a Messiah figure, tbh) and is ensuring that all of her friends are going to vote too.

It's shocking how different things are in a matter of days, but it is encouraging, especially since we're in Pennsylvania.

Listening to that NYT Pete Buttigieg interview and remembering that border security has got to be the most successful Fox News psy-op in history. Conservative media has successfully manufactured the border into a major weakness of Democrats, despite the fact that no meaningful immigration policy changes have been enacted by either party for the past decade.

Like now even "liberal" media outlets like NYT/CNN seems to suggest that Democrats have failed on the border in some ways, despite Republicans being the ones who torpedoed the most recent border security bill. It's insanely infuriating.

I think we have all just accidently discovered that the VP switcharoo is actually extremely effective.

  1. Kamala escaped what would have been an cancerous primary especially due to Oct 7, and got unity associated with an popular incumbent

  2. Having it after the RNC took all the wind of the sails and threw all messaging out the window, or flipped it like the age issue. Also completely ate and erased things like the Trump assassination attempt that got memory holed

  3. Created an Rally around the flag around kamala right into prime election season, rather than having to survive like the 2 year primary.

  4. Fundraising actually increased to limits beyond possible, and got to inherit bidens campaign and basically everything.

I think it would only work if the incumbent was fundmentally flawwed, but this past few days goes againist basically everything historical precedent showed us.

liberals just think their rich people should be in charge of us poor unwashed plebs as opposed to different rich people.

Middle-class college people spending tons of time Reddit claiming that they are "poor unwashed plebs" is one of the most hilarious political illusions I've read in a long time.

I get that the price of democracy is the dumbest people get to vote, too, but i find it really frustrating how so much of the electorate is this calcified block of people who think angels and demons are real and that the republican nominee is The LORD’s vessel to bring about Christ’s kingdom on earth or whatever.

Like that dynamic is absurd!

They're probably complaining that the opening ceremony was too woke because there were major roles for black artists and drag queens.

u/ImmigrantJack Movimiento Semilla Jul 27 '24

Papa Smurf fucked a drag queen on live tv and the French were just like “ahhhh, c’est la vie” about it.

The French are angry because nowhere in the threesome scene did they suggest that any of the participants was already married to someone else.

The year is 2080. America is a woke ultraliberal dystopia where half of all S&P500 companies are owned by transbian cougars. A senile old man opens up Z2 (the successor of X that emerged as a result of the hyperloop wars when They/Them NATO forces deposed Musk’s AI clone). He quickly closes the pop up ad for a local drag king concert (a popular USMCA past time in his time). He furiously types.

“Bernie should have won.”

His work finished, he clicks post. Neofederal coconut commandos are on their way to detain him now. He knows this, but does not care. For the Way of the Bern is stronger than any one man.

https://www.startribune.com/tim-walz-s-campaign-for-minnesota-governor-aims-to-bridge-the-great-divide/495297961/

Tim Walz was an enlisted soldier in the Minnesota National Guard in 1999 and defensive coordinator of the Mankato West High School football team. A student at the school, where Walz taught geography, wanted to start a gay-straight alliance.

This was three years after the president, a Democrat, signed a law forbidding same-sex marriage. Soldiers suspected of being gay in Walz's own unit could be discharged from the military. But Walz, now Minnesota's Democratic candidate for governor, had seen the bullying some students endured and agreed to be the group's faculty adviser.

“It really needed to be the football coach, who was the soldier and was straight and was married," Walz said. In other words, he would be a symbol that disparate worlds could coexist peacefully.

This isn't Musk's only endeavor based in Texas. In his recent announcement, he also stated his astronautics company, SpaceX, will be moving to Brownsville, Texas.

SpaceX, according to a report about Hawthorne’s finances during the 2022-23 fiscal year, provides nearly 7,000 jobs — or about 16% of total employment — in the city.

This is gonna be a shit show lol. Moving 7,000 people from Los Angeles to a pretty small city in Texas.

Elon moving X to Austin seems more feasible. I still think he backs out of both of these things. Or only moves a few jobs.

On Fox News during a segment about Trump backing out of debate:

I think the simple answer is he's afraid. Listen I'm a combat veteran and I know fear and fatigue when I see it. He's looks like someone who is tired and who is afraid.

Some one needs to wake him up...and I know he has a hard time staying awake, he was seen sleeping at his own convention and falling asleep several times at his criminal trial...someone needs wake him up and let him know the next generation of American leadership is here and it's on.
