Don’t be ridiculous. Musk is part of the oligarchs controlling Trump.

Almost as if some rich foreign power has spent decades and billions of rubles to fertilise the ground for them.

Don’t underestimate the lots and lots of Russia money involved.

Unsure who you are referring to.

You are a presidential term too late. In this term he doesn’t have to distract anybody, because he knows he can do whatever he wants without any repercussions. He doesn’t do distractions anymore.

Lots of Americans especially.

He has been insane his entire life. He just is at a point now where it gets to unfold much more freely than it ever has, because he has been crowned de facto king of everything.

It was about incels spouting misogyny and all other imaginable forms of bigotry. It served as yet another fascism pipeline for a lot of kids.

This is America.

This is the internet.

I switched to it a couple of years ago, with the expectation that I had to resort to google in more complex search instances. But very soon I found out that ddg did the job, and my “alternative” google searches did not turn up anything better, quite the contrary in fact, and I haven’t been back since.

That is definitely what will happen if they surrender though.

It is actually 62%. For some reason they rounded the real number down in OP’s link.

No, it would not get him more votes. The main problem for the Democrats are that a lot of non-Trump voters doesn’t vote at all, not that they are suddenly going to turn Trump voters. There has been a consistent non-Trump majority since 2016 after all.

I think the main problem for the Democrats are apathy and people not voting at all, rather than people actually voting for Trump. The Trump voters will be the same, but they will actually vote.

Yeah but “putting a conservative amount of jelly on your toast” has nothing to do with being a conservationist, because “a conservative amount of government” isn’t what exist or has historically existed.

I think your analogy is fundamentally flawed, because just because the words (“conservative amount of jelly” and “being a political conservative”) are same, they don’t have anything else in common.

It is like when Republicans claim that the US isn’t a democracy, because they are afraid it means support for the Democrats. Two different words with different meanings.

Those are positions I consider conservative, and hold myself, that aren’t reflected in current Republican policy.

None of those are specific to conservatism, and I would say some of the opposites of those position, like opposition to gay marriage and abortion, has historically always been part of conservatism.

More interestingly would be to learn what specific conservative policies you subscribe to. Policies which you don’t think exists in other ideologies.

There is not a lot to laugh about with flat earthers. The theory stems from Christian fundamentalism, and it is tightly connected to the christofascist movements trying to coup the USA at the moment.

And no, they are not going to give up their beliefs, because they didn’t come by them through rational thought, so rational thought isn’t going to disprove it for them.

That is only because the cats sense that you don’t like them. If you actually liked them they behave pretty much as you experience dogs does to you.

Apparently it is a popular American myth.

You are being written off as a Trump bootlicker because you parrot Trump propaganda. Perhaps fixing your need to regurgitate Trump propaganda should be the first thing that needs fixing?
