“I deserve all the Nobel prizes in a most bigly way! Literature, Art Of The Deal is a masterpiece! Very good. Math and economics, I knew exactly how much to borrow from the Saudis! Frankly I’m very smart. Physics, medicine, who needs that woke crap? Bleach cures everything! I’m pretty sure I’m the greatest man who ever lived. All real Americans think the Nobel Prize should just be called the Trump Prize, believe me.”

I predicted back in 2000 that the net would become a big complex system of cable channels, you pay for every site you visit. It’s sure AF going that way.

Something wonderful is gone forever. Thanks America.

Food history fascinates me. I’m just that nerdy.

There will never be another meaningful election in the United States, ever again. It will be like Russia, the Correct Party always wins.

Don’t worry, they’ll take that funding out of Medicare, education, transportation, etc.

It’s going away. Along with Social Security, Medicare, and public schools and libraries.

This is what you chose, America. Praise Jesus and get back to work.

This is a dictatorship. The law only applies to non-MAGA.

Republicans win in that scenario. Every time. Just accept it.

It’s not social media per se. It’s capitalism. The Internet was this vast frontier, where you could meet anyone. Little communities formed, we all just talked, and self-regulated any bad behavior. It was a gift economy, we all freely shared knowledge, files, culture.

In the past 20 or so years, economies of scale took over. Corporations bought up the server space and aggressively shut down small communities. Community is discouraged, keep scrolling and click on the ads! Marketing killed the internet.

Get used to it. The United States of America has become something we won’t recognize.

“freedom is on the march”

And Americans ate it up like the crummy greasy fast food most of them live on.

And he will continue to do it. He’s king. Republicans in Congress will loudly support his violence, while Democrats will express moderate concern.

Derpy MAGAs in the coal states will say it’s the greatest genius bigly move ever.

Mark my words, the military will overthrow local government, someplace. The administration will declare the city “failed,” and appoint a private corporation to govern.

And Fox will still bend the knee. Republicans just can’t help themselves. They follow the loudest bully and revel in his abuse.

This is the new fascist America. I’m surprised they didn’t just make shit up.

It’s the No True Scotsman fallacy. Sorry, a plurality of Americans are megachurch evangelicals. Their leadership is in bed with MAGA, which makes them complicit.

In the United States, evangelical Christianity is the dominant religion, and MAGA is part of their doctrine.

Republican policy is all about killing anyone who isn’t young, fit, and productive. And it’s working.

Right from the Cheney playbook.
