The hillbilly trope for Trump supporters is counterproductive.
Wealthy white, black folks and Latinos did just as much to get Trump into power.
The liberal elitism so many of y'all cling to will only hurt the left even more.
liberals are fucking stupid too….
but watch a jan 6 video and tell me they’re not mostly rednecks.
also, the election was heavily rigged, your stats are from a lie.

Huh, never really considered that.
Do you think the levels of "caricaturization" (my phone doesn't like that one, so I mean turning the "enemy" into caricatures) and satire directly correlate to feelings of fear or loss of control, maybe? Those in power don't seem to use satire much, if at all.
So yeah, I agree that it's probably counterproductive, but it also seems to be a somewhat instinctual response, and therefore it should probably be guarded against in particular. Unless I'm overlooking some hidden benefits that aren't just racist to some extent...
That's a perfectly cromulent word. Me? I use toonification
Trump cannot play golf and care about egg prices same time. Priorities, you know ...?
we'e on the verge of a bleed-from-your-ass pandemic like we haven't seen in more than a hundred years because of American farming practices, and all Americans care about is the price of eggs
Sorry....what?
How about you tell me where I lost you, and I'll fill you in.
Why am I going to bleed from my ass?
I think they were referring to the new pandemic part.
Well our health is in the hands of an anti-vaxxer with brain worms who' s floating some pretty fucking stupid ideas. So that makes our populace a lot more vulnerable to disease. So a new pandemic is back on the table.
Yea but bleed from the ass pandemic?
The risk is higher yes, the way you stated that made it seem like there was something beginning to spread or that was very imminent... Like if the most recent bird flu had jumped to humans. That's why I was asking. Definitely agree there is more risk, but I wasn't sure if there was something going on we weren't aware of.
The recent bird flu has jumped to humans. Last I read, a few people have died from it.
The big news would be the first case of human to human spread, which has not occurred yet to our knowledge.
I'm seeing a lot of "could" and "might" and hearsay, but ya, unless it goes from human to human I am not that concerned... Just because there are so many other things more pressing to be concerned about, not that it's something that should be ignored or anything.
there are so many other things more pressing to be concerned about
Can you show your work?
But let's not move the goalposts. I'm not saying there is nothing more pressing; I am saying that this is more pressing than the price of eggs. In fact, this is more important than having a domestic egg industry at all.
I just googled "bird flu transfer to humans"
