I never watched Loose Change (had to google it), but most of the jobbers I've met were InfoWars types. More self-issued license plates than liberals. Maybe just because I'm in Kansas, tho. Even if it is Leftist Kansas. That said, there's always an undercurrent of this on the extremes of both sides. Shit, they're everywhere. Teamsters' politics has similar theorists: TDU. I'm sympathetic to their positions, but sometimes I mean really: come on.I love how everyone's pretending that whole "loose change/911 was an inside job" thing never happened and liberal conspiracy theorists are new.
The defining phrase of my political consciousness is "no drama Obama". This has been one hella rabbit hole.
I wasn't asleep during the Bush years, I was just... y'know... pro-Bush at the time. At least now we can definitively say that he wasn't the worst ever. Edit: I'm NOT young enough for you to circle dot this
In four words Reagan owns a sitting president. It's amazing how a moment can swing or solidify things. I recall this being everywhere: If you're gonna wear a helmet, it better look cool or you're screwed.
But nobody. Ever. In the history of mankind. Has been as owned as Quayle was by Bensen:
Although I'm acutely aware that people have always been jerks to each other, it's nice to see the footage.
There's an interesting season of painting a person as a one dimensional character - Clinton is so power mad she'll sacrifice anything, including another person's life, to push her global agenda - Trump is some enigmatic combination of idiot savant, a lord of mastering the message and literally nothing else. Once those characters are cast into the story, this supporting cast springs up - one of which is the truth seeking conspiracy theorist. But it doesn't seem to set in until the main character is dangerous. Trump didn't get his conspiracy theorist until he won the white house.
As one of Hubski's resident Trump-haters, I've waded through some beautifully-raked muck. But as time goes on, I think that I'm finally getting an idea of what's plausible, and what's not, in the land of Trumpmania. That said, I'm wrong all the time! Not just about this Trump crap, either. And I'm cool with that, as long as you guys can forgive me for it. What I know beyond a shadow of a doubt? This president is fucking stupid, the Russian government/intelligence knew it, and that creates some opportunities. Yes, the f-word was necessary, sorry. Obama was no saint, but I can't imagine how secure he feels about his legacy in contrast to the new "competition".[Mensch] is a mirror for the left’s Hitchcockian fantasies and an avatar of our political dysfunction, a symbol of how far off the deep end one has to travel to reach a land beyond believability
I get the feeling that Obama would've lost to Trump in 2012 if Trump would follow the same strategy: put down the "establishment" and the other candidate by making sickly and twisted claims that none of his becoming-brainwashed supporters would (want to) dispute.Obama was no saint, but I can't imagine how secure he feels about his legacy in contrast to the new "competition".
I think another four years of "stirring the pot" was crucial to Trump and co.'s success. The right-wing media managed to really get that accomplished quite well. In fact, that's pretty much all that the GOP has done, unless we're counting "fuck over their constituents so badly that the over-correction may destroy us all". Edit: Liberals are but the lesser of two evils at this moment in history, and there as many (effective) options. One of our founding fathers warned us against it, I forget who. Not very respectful of me. Nor is not even going to Google right now. And certainly not then loosely guessing Hamilton and going back to coding.
