This must be the American equivalent of when a Reform MP criticized Churchill

If evil is being defeated, why is she still alive?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

Because she is a different being than the being that was defeated.

She's still a little bitch.

Quite tasteless but it is MTG.

I wonder what the Catholic Trumpers here in Louisiana will think of her saying that?

I'm gonna have to ask some.

Don't worry, cognitive dissonance will save them as usual

She has neither the warmth or depth.

(I didn't come up with this)

She's a proper troglodyte. Almost identical to those clay caveman reconstructions you see.

Georgia elects horrible people: news at 11 (but only the executive branch approved news agencies, everyone else has been locked out to preserve alternative fact distribution)

I wonder if there's a country or group of countries that will save Americans that are still decent human beings?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I'd love to know because I want to GTFO of here asap

I'm guessing that this is pretty straightforward politicking. A lot of the populist-right crowd in the US has historically been adamantly Protestant. Catholics were also a big issue for the KKK, too.

Her district is Georgia's 14th:

Hmm.

Yeah, it's mostly not very Catholic, but Whitfield County is a notable exception. Gordon County, which is also somewhat-Catholic, isn't in her district.

Looks like Whitfield County has a population of 103,687, so maybe an eighth of her constituents.

https://www.politico.com/2024-election/results/georgia/

And it looks like that county had the weakest support for Trump of all the counties in her district (though it was still pretty overwhelmingly pro-Trump, 71.9% in favor of Trump versus 27.5% for Harris).

EDIT: Might irritate some of the MAGA crowd elsewhere in the US, though. And probably not the sort of thing that'd go over well with the right in Poland...

Having seen how the world treats Russian citizens, no.

But that is later, after things get worse. Fur now there are plenty of options for those who have money, or are brave, or talented or some combination. Everyone else here will suffer through it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I have no money or talent (according to the mainstream) so I guess I'll just got fuck myself

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

There are dozens of us, I’m thinking when it gets really bad I’ll start a twelve step support group on how to deal with the fallout

The way things are going, it's getting harder and harder to see the good in America. I know not everyone is like what we see in the news, but there's clearly enough to allow things to keep happening. I feel sorry for the regular people in America.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It is a very slim minority of very loud people who are actually evil, who have inveigled a regrettably large number of people who are not necessarily evil but are short slighted and easily manipulated into acting against their own self interest.

Being an American does kinda suck these days though as a result.

Yeah, I feel like I have to add in a disclaimer now whenever I tell someone I’m American. ‘Oh and btw Fuck Trump!’ lol
