    Between this, JD Vance’s “racist lies for the greater good” stance and the right’s desire to make it illegal for doctor groups to endorse evidence based medicine for trans people the GOP has just gone into full fascist propaganda mode.

      Well, your first two sentences are actually valid when you divorce them from the current context and remarry it with the reality of the bad stuff being ads, paid misinformation, and general enshittification 🤷

          That much is true, of course. Everywhere including his own ramblings do that, though, so that’s not really characteristic of Google specifically 🤷

      And then Vance is President? I’m not sure that’s better, all the same horrible views, somewhat more coherent, has no idea how a human behaves, is on the record that if he’d been Pence he’d have helped with the coup

      The terrifying thing is that thanks to the electoral college and FPTP, he has as good a chance as Kamala despite being grossly unpopular

      We need reform but as long as we keep pretending that the Republican party is a legitimate political party, that’s not gonna happen

        Part of why I get pissed by people saying they aren’t voting/are voting third party this election. It NEEDS to be overwhelmingly Harris so the Supreme Court gets scared about giving it to the GoP. If Harris loses, there is no future election, and people who were all, “Harris is just as evil I’m not voting/voting 3rd party” will be among the people rounded up and thrown into concentration camps. Morals don’t matter shit when you get forced to work to death

        It’s either make sure it’s overwhelming, or stop aiming to off Trump and instead take out the republicans on the SC - At least 4 of them. And I doubt the latter will happen, so it NEEDS to be an overwhelming Dem victory

    This reminds me of a girl I went to school with in like 2nd grade. She had clearly just learned the word “sue,” and proceeded to run around the playground shrieking “I’ll sue you!” at the other children.

    See, this is an example of why he likes Putin. If you publish negative stories about Putin, regardless of truth, you’re going to fall out a window. Trump wants that.

    We do live in a world where simply mentioning the bad shit people do can get you in trouble.

    Over on another forum site I mentioned that border security in Egypt made a British 15 year old girl strip in an airport and I received a 3 day ban off admins for “Inciting hatred based on identity or religion”.

    I never mentioned religion or any identity. I just said “Egypt made a 15 year old girl strip naked in an airport and that was a pretty shitty thing to do.”
