These people are crazy and very dangerous. I hope Americans - and especially American media - can stop bothsidering Joe and unhinged fascist craziness like this.

    But Joe didn't stop the genocide!

    You know, by acting unilaterally... In a foreign country over which he has no authority... Mired by centuries of dissent...

    he could have stopped all military aid and placed sanctions to the maximal extent of presidential authority and pressured congress into doing what he alone can't. he hasn't even denounced the genocide. the CIA has couped countries for much less bad things, why not now?

    "Ok, so he did stop the genocide. But he didn't stop it fast enough! Oh, the same day you say? Well he didn't stop it from happening in the first place!"

    You can't argue with people who aren't really arguing.

    It's not the average American you have to worry about .... it's the corporate controlled media companies that are pushing this narrative.

    If you opened up the stage for people to speak up, they wouldn't want any of the people that are in place right now.

    The media and the establishment are the ones who drive the narratives because they are the ones with all the money and control.

    So average people aren't deciding on wanting someone like Trump ... it's corporate heads and wealthy backers who are promoting, advertising and pushing this narrative because that's what they want.

    If these stories didn't sell, the media wouldn't run them. Yes, they should be objective and stop being culpable in this ongoing assault on American democracy... but they're serving a market.

    They're not serving a market ... they're serving a master.

    The general media is not an independent entity that does things to make a bit of money ... they are a tool that is used by corporations and the wealthy elite to corral people into a certain mindset and beliefs ... that eventually lead everyone into electing only those people that are marketed to them.

    "It’s never gonna get any better. Don’t look for it. Be happy with what you got. Because the owners of this country don't want that. I'm talking about the real owners now, the real owners, the big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions. Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought and paid for the senate, the congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls." - George Carlin

    I didn't read the article, but I watched the "rally."

    It's been a while since all this shit gave me the chills. That is, or rather should be, legitimately very, very concerning language...

    History doesn't repeat, but it rhymes. Let's punch it in the throat before it can finish this bar.

    Yeah that's what the Catholic Church told us in Québec during the great darkness. (La Grande Noirceur) That if we didn't vote for the then leader of the Union Nationale party, Maurice Duplessis, we would go to hell.

    The Catholic Church was promptly kicked out when the boomer generation finally reached voting age and the silent revolution began.

    There's no way either outcome in the 2024 election will resolve without at least some sort of attacks from the far-right, and I can't imagine what would happen after a Trump victory. The fate of the nation hangs by a silver thread.

    Oh really? So why hasn't God smote the Democrats already? Why is retribution always an in-the-future threat?

    I hate my country, the UK, for its crimes against humanity. We've done some shitty, shitty stuff; stuff that makes you sick. But nothing, nothing makes me more embarrassed than the thought that the USA was our mistake. We created the worst mistake in history.

    The "pastor" commanding everyone to worship the golden calf is worried about "demonic forces." Look in the mirror.

    it's a pet peeve when religious folk make claims that are in fact testable hypotheses. Like we could measure various metrics of "god's wrath" in relation to regions of voting preference. Poverty, famine, disease, mortality, natural disasters.

    Oh yeah? Well remember that one time he flooded New Orleans and that other time he sent a hurricane to New York and those fires in California and literally nowhere else on the planet has ever had catastrophic weather in the history of ever?

    I’m always confused on this. Is god supposed to be directly effecting people and their lives or is it supposed to be free will?

    As long as they rely on God to do it, I'm ok with that. If the almighty smiter has the need to break its divine silence to punish me, not much I can do.

    However, if they try the whole "God is working through my human hands" bullshit, I'm calling swat

    You know, at first I thought like, if they are going to worship a god, surely there must be a better choice.

    Then I remembered these people also believe in the Old Testament god, and it made sense.

    You'd think the old one had seen something like this coming and made royal succession a cardinal sin.
