    The early 2000s Republicans are the same people as 2025 Republicans.

    Some of them changed their beliefs. They moved right - or were moved right by an incredibly effective decades-long propaganda campaign.

    And some of them didn’t change their beliefs at all - they’re simply more emboldened to express beliefs that weren’t acceptable twenty years ago.

    Give it twenty more years and Democrats will be where Republicans are now.







  • It’s a horrible thing Trump won.

    But it was pretty much inevitable.

    The Biden administration was weak, cowardly, and incompetent. It didn’t understand - or refused to admit - how bad the US economy really was and how many people were struggling and suffering.

    The student loan debacle exemplified the Biden administration’s “strategy” on the economy, the environment, everything - make a half-ass attempt to slightly improve things, give up at the first challenge, and pat yourself on the back for trying.

    The economic failures of the Weimar Republic pushed Germany into the arms of a fascist who promised security and prosperity.

    The economic failures of the Biden administration did the same for America.
