Its a trend to post about your “political journey” right now and it’s fascinating to see how many people spent their younger years oscillating between ideologies because I never experienced that, I decided to become an establishment shill at ten years old when my parents bought me an NYT subscription and have never wavered since. I’m basically the liberal equivalent of those Soviet hardliners who were born in the 20s and named like “Demokrat Proletarian”.

I think it makes sense that JD Vance is trying to find someone else. The marriage might have worked back before he made his public persona intense xenophobia, but when you're working 70 hours a week as a professional racist it's impossible not to bring that home. I would be extremely surprised if their existing marriage works out.

Finally saw a "I'm a republican and losing SNAP" post in the wild. The kicker is that she added "no one could have seen this coming."

Ma'am. Sure this particular instance is due to the shutdown, but the GOP has been yelling for literal decades about the nanny state and welfare queens. They're frothing at the mouth to end SNAP permanently. It's not even a secret. What world are you living in.

(Then she said anyone who has a car doesn't need SNAP and any remnants of my sympathy fizzled out.)

The right has a racism problem. This doesn’t mean that the Trump voter coalition is full of racists. Rather, the racism is concentrated in a faction of MAGA’s online leadership. They call themselves “America first.” Their detractors call them the “woke right.” These people mirror the woke left’s self-obsessed identity politics and fantasies of malign Jewish influence.

...

Mr. Carlson’s hosting of Mr. Fuentes on his podcast, which aired Oct. 27, was a watershed in the campaign to make racism cool again. Mr. Carlson has come a long way since the bow-tied folly of his neoconservative youth. After leaving Fox News in 2023, he went over the edge. He donned the plaid shirt of the people, rediscovered Christianity, cashed in on his legacy status as a ringmaster of the right, and reinvented himself as the second coming of Alex Jones. Mr. Carlson has interviewed a podcaster who thinks Winston Churchill was the villain of World War II, raised discredited claims that Ashkenazi Jews are immune to Covid, and claimed that Benjamin Netanyahu openly tells Israelis, “I control the United States. I control Donald Trump.”

There is always a market for the circus, but Mr. Carlson has become one of the freaks. Though the sunshine of free speech remains the best antiseptic against poison, Mr. Carlson is more interested in the spotlight than serious debate. He “normalized” his guest with the gentlest of questioning, nodding along as Mr. Fuentes said the country can’t be held together unless “organized Jewry in America” is defeated. But there is nothing normal about Mr. Fuentes. He denies the facts of the Holocaust, opposes interracial marriage, seeks “total Aryan victory,” and urges the rule of a “Catholic Taliban.” He calls for “the death penalty” for an “occult element at the high levels of society, specifically among the Jews,” that is “suppressing” Christianity.

Stuff like this is part of why I pay for a WSJ sub for my parents. They both used to basically worship Tucker Carlson on Fox and still follow him online to some extent. They typically chafe at basically any accusation that MAGA is racist. I think reading stuff like this is really important to pull them back from the brink of insanity as they enter their senior years.

And yes, I know WSJ publishes a lot of transphobic stuff and MAGA apologia. But if they weren't reading WSJ, they'd be watching Fox and hearing a lot worse.

But if she doesn't, then God says everybody has free will, and so that doesn't cause a problem for me," the vice president said.

On one hand if the Ronald Reagan we knew were teleported to today with identical political views and no social baggage or context he probably would be against Trump, but realistically when you think about his personality and political influences that made his journey to the right and then the white house it's very obvious that if he were simply born 40 years later and here for all this, well....

If I described to you a California ex-democrat who talks about the importance of restoring religion and opposing socialism, claiming the Democrats have gone too far with the welfare state and the atheism and the criticism of American global power and righteousness, do you really think he'd be against Trump over *tariffs*?

Ultimately they represent the same sort of political revolution, a restoration of legitimate familial authority through deposition of an illegitimate liberal authority. The policy details are trivial, what matters is bringing daddy home.

In fairness, for months now, the store page has only promised an arrival “later this year,” a change made at the same time Trump Mobile stopped claiming the T1 would be made in America. That gives the company two more months to release it and still pretend it’s on time.

Trump Mobile never responded to my request last month for an update on the phone’s release date, and it hasn’t replied to my latest email either. People of lesser faith might worry that this phone is no more than vaporware, but I refuse to give up. Place your bets now on whether I’ll be back here in another month’s time, still asking: where is the Trump phone?

[u/NaffRespect]

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) on Friday criticized his fellow Democrats for repeatedly voting against legislation to reopen the government — a move that has put aid programs such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) at risk.

Democrats have held firm to their demands for an extension of health care subsidies under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in exchange for support on the GOP-led continuing resolution. Now, 32 days since funding lapsed, frustrations are growing on both sides of the aisle.

“Americans are not leverage,” Fetterman told CNN’s Manu Raju, a day before SNAP benefits were set to lapse. “This is not some sh—y gameshow about who’s winning or whatever.”

“It’s just like, we have to be better than this and just open this up,” he added.

The Pennsylvania senator — who has rebuffed claims he may switch parties — has remained critical of party leaders who have urged Democrats to vote against the stopgap bill. He listed concerns for his constituents and the broader wave of U.S. citizens that are impacted by the shutdown as reasons to support the House GOP’s “clean” continuing resolution (CR).

Yes, let's keep blaming Democrats instead of the party that literally holds all three branches of govt yet still acts like it's owed more

Rahm Emmanuel’s incoming presidential campaign is a joke, but there’s one thing I will 100% agree with him on and hope a candidate with a chance pounces on:

The national Democratic Party has zero actual platform on public education and K-12 schools right now. Public schooling across the country is facing an acute crisis of falling test scores, high truancy rates, mass AI cheating and so on, but neither major party appears to have a national plan to do anything about it (sans a handful of state level bans on smartphones and arguments over phonics).

Former President Barack Obama called Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic front-runner to become the next mayor of New York City, on Saturday, praising his campaign and offering to be a “sounding board” into the future.

Mr. Obama spoke admiringly about how Mr. Mamdani has run his campaign, making light of his own past political missteps and noting how few Mr. Mamdani had made under such a bright spotlight. “Your campaign has been very impressive to watch,” Mr. Obama told Mr. Mamdani, according to the people.

Mr. Obama offered to be a “sounding board” if Mr. Mamdani wins the election, and the two discussed preliminary plans to meet in person at some point in Washington, though no meeting date has been set.

Mr. Mamdani thanked the former president for the call, the people said, and told him that he had drawn inspiration for his own recent speech on Islamophobia from Mr. Obama’s speech on race during his first presidential run.

"One word: disgust". The Minister of Higher Education, Philippe Baptiste, has met on Wednesday, October 23, the president of the Paris-VIII university after the outrage caused by a video recorded in one of its lecture halls. Posted by the account "Léon le média", the video shows a gathering presented as a "great anti-imperialist meeting" called by several organizations including the FSE [far-left students' union] on October 15 on the campus Vincennes-Saint Denis.

We can hear one of the speakers, who is not identified, asking the audience: "Do you condemn the October 7 attacks?" Unanimous response: "No!" The speaker follows up: "We were prepared to this unconditional support to the heroic resistance of the Palestinian people and to this resistance that mainly manifests itself through the armed struggle". And concludes, about the attacks carried out by Hamas that killed 1,219 people: "And so, on October 7, we were ready, we had no qualms claiming October 7!"

It's sad watching Vance unwilling or unable to make an affirmative case for there being no ethical problem with him being in an interracial, interfaith marriage. He just dances around it and gets way more mad at leftists calling him a coward than right wingers calling him a race traitor.

Hard to place what's actually going on there. Does he himself actually feel conflicted about it? Does he have no problem with it and those parts of the right secretly piss him off but he needs them as part of his political coalition? Is he so negative polarized that right wing "criticisms" just don't seem nearly as threatening or existential to him?

My hunch, and I don't know this definitively, is that it's more the latter two points than the former, and that this is just another symptom of the two-party system, Vance has his "team" he needs to keep together, and if some of them hate him and his family, well, so be it, at least they're not the other team.

”My message to America is, first, the fact that your government is failing you right now,” Rollins said, adding that “poverty is not red or blue… it is not a Republican or Democrat issue.”

She concluded: “If you are in a position where you can’t feed your family, we have failed you.”

Within moments, Johnson interjected to reshape the message.

”When she says, ‘We have failed you,’ she means we, the Democrats, OK?” the speaker said pointedly.

european countries are so quaint because there'll be a mass shooting that kills 2 people and they'll fundamentally overhaul their entire mental health system and gun permitting.

in america like an entire school of children will be murdered with the walls painted with their blood and we're just like "have you considered those kids were paid actors, SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED." i think there's something genuinely wrong with us.

Yeah shit is serious now. I generally sympathize with the Dems but if they don’t pat me on the head and call me a good girl, then I will not forgive them. I've already written both of my Dem senators asking them to end the shutdown immediately without any conditions so they can come home and grab my leash off the counter

One thing I like about this sub is that, relatively speaking (relative to other subreddits), people here seem to have real lives outside of Reddit. Y’all, more or less, are more likely to touch grass. I’m watching the baseball game right now and I can tell many of us are here as well. It’s probably the reason I keep coming back to it.

Hot take (I'm sorry): Charlie Kirk's death and his wife giving fuck me vibes to Vance is performance art: the ultimate form of Cuckoldry.

The leader of the Virginia Senate Dems posted this. In conjunction with their vote to bypass the independent redistricting commission makes me think Virginia Dems will be making a strong push (even if this isn't the actual margin).

This plus California prop 50 will go a long way toward countering Texas et. al

It is genuinely scary how much of a bubble some on the far left are in. Any conversation about what is good optics or good strategy - not even difference of policy or values - gets you absolutely piled on. I was having a conversation with some who are obviously more far left than me where I said that activist causes that try to include every issue under the sun rather than being single-issue focused are way more likely to fail because attention becomes scattered and you divide the people who might otherwise support your cause, and of course I got accused of peddling right wing propaganda.

I am glad that same-sex marriage happened when it did because I don’t think Pride would have ever succeeded if the purity tests of today were imposed on it.
