Political Memes

They don't deserve a warm welcome. If we welcome them because they finally realized Trump is bad now... Then that's rewarding people for changing their mind because it directly affected them (which is a stupid way to make decisions). Na they need to be shamed and roasted and they should be willing to accept that because if they truly understand that Trump is bad, they should understand how fucking stupid they were. They brought this upon us.

We only welcome them if and only if they over correct.

I.e. they start actively campaigning against Trump, publicly and without hesitation.

Because if they don't, they'll likely come out in 2026 and vote Republican again. And in the likely event that Trump goes for a third term, they'll just be racist again.

I'd say this is an incorrect usage of the format and is really pushing the narrative too strongly from the guy.

It’s a fantastic format from a docuseries on David Beckham.

On October 4th, the documentary series BECKHAM about the life and career of the British football player David Beckham premiered on Netflix. During an interview with Beckham's wife Victoria, "Posh Spice" of the Spice Girls band, Victoria tells the interviewer that both she and her husband came from working-class families, with David interrupting and telling her to be honest, with Victoria reluctantly admitting that her father had a Rolls-Royce:

- [Victoria] We both come from families that worked really hard. Both of our parents work really hard. We're very working, working class.
- [David] Be honest.
- [V] I am being honest!
- [D] Be honest.
- [V] I am being honest!
- [D] What car did your dad drive you to school in?
- [V] So, my dad did-
- [D] No. One answer. What car was it?
- [V] It's not a simple answer because-
- [D] What car did your dad drive you to school in?
- [V] It depends…
- [D] No, no, no, no, no.
- [V] Okay, In the 80s, my dad had a Rolls-Royce.
- [D] Thank you.

Hey, I'll add another one: being forced to by your family

I've had my parents strongly tell me who to not vote. Bullshit like "We aren't telling you who to vote. You're an adult, and I believe you can make the decision yourself. I am only telling you not to vote Korčok, because that would be stupid. But I believe you aren't that stupid."

But hey, my father was also annoyed for me going there on my own, rather than with my mother at once (he didn't vote), because we're a family and must go everywhere together.
Sigh

If there's any Slovakian reading this, yeah, I voted for Korčok.

Over the last few decades the GOP gradually dropped any pretense of morality taking the easiest path possible for coalition building: assembling the stupid, bigoted, gullible and conspiratorial, the least empathetic, the overworked and underinformed. They left conservative ideology back in the 80s and have won only by preying on these people’s weaknesses.

Until this year however, they managed to have enough 'adults in the room' to keep big business on their side so you gotta think big business this week is shitting their pants with the realization that the base has now fully overrun the party.

Not all Republicans are racist, but all of them don't think racism is a disqualifying factor. Which makes them just as bad.

And some are even both.
