US tries to force open the Strait of Hormuz as the UAE comes under attack in a test of Iran truce

>They very much recognize that their voting base isn't just dumb enough to vote away their own rights and livelihood but to even hand over wads of cash for additional scams. I mean, this is a group of people who equate literacy, numeracy, actual peer reviewed medicine, and actual peer reviewed science with being "liberal". They aren't just stupid, they are *maliciously* stupid. They revel in it. Being an unrepentant dumbass is a badge of honor, something to be proud of because it means they aren't "woke". At the same time, they are the most intellectually insecure whoresons to have been pushed out of a birth canal. They feel personally attacked when all of the shit they refused to learn or spent considerable effort unlearning refutes whatever nonsensical bullshit they've decided will be they hill the die on. Which is horrible in and of itself but it gets worse when one considers they are not content to just be maladjusted morons. No, they have to destroy facts and discovery at their sources because their simple little brains have just enough folds to recognize both as threats to their egos. These people would drag us back to the goddamn dark ages for nothing beyond spite and pride. >Even the "no tax on overtime" thing was just on the overtime pay itself and over a certain number of hours or something (?). I forget That itself had caveats and the f****** morons we both work with were very, very keen to overlook them. No tax on OT has a long list of who does and doesn't qualify for that tax break based entirely on their industry, their position, and what they are classified as. Something that will shock literally no one who can read above the 4th grade, *most* hourly positions do not qualify for that tax break. And the most f****** frustrating part of that is trying to explain that to the disphit collective and being told, "Well, Trump said"... Yes, a conman who is such a pathological liar his entire team of attorneys had to be present at all times when trying to represent him because he was known for lying to them individually is clearly on the up and up and his (poorly spoken) promises clearly carry far more weight than what the actual text of the f****** tax bill says. F*** man, we have truly done a disservice to ourselves protecting these imbeciles from themselves for the last 40+ years. At any other point in our history, they would have self eliminated through their arrogance and their own breathtaking incompetence in everything they do beyond occupying space and consuming resources.

I still can't believe that's their strategy. Those f****** dinosaurs in leadership need to go.

I sure as shit blame ever voter and every non-voter who could have but did not vote for Hillary Clinton.

Every voter had a choice: Trump or not Trump. So if you're one of the people who decided to not vote, you made a choice: youre not a powerless pawn or something. And you made the exact choice that the GOP wanted you to make. How's that going so far? Is your protest vote causing the wealthy to lose power? Things getting better? Adults understand we just have to work within the system we have. Petulant kids sit on the sidelines waiting for their own personal perfect candidate.

Bro about 1/3 of the voters still think Donald is doing a wonderful job even as they complain about prices and the war. How do you reach people who refused to change?

I think your framing is off here. The right in the US understands how to deliver some basic shit for their base. Look at the insane stuff they get up to just to please them, big parts of what key voter blocks inside the GOP demand. I am trying really hard to think up on issues the right has, that they would just basically tell parts of the electorate to f*** off over. You don't see that sort of political malpractice of them too often, at least not right before elections. Trump is pretty unique in that way. The right has a lot of pretty contradictory groups, them all showing up elections (or not) has reasons. Let's face it, Harris lost because she wasn't prepared to break with Biden's course on Gaza. If she simply had delivered the bare minimum for the base, you wouldn't whine about the people that stayed home right now. You can't have it both ways, if progressive/left electorate matters, you can't ignore them with the excuse they don't matter in the grand scheme of things. It would really help if you look at what happened in the last presidential election beyond complaints that people didn't show up for your candidate. Look what MAGA accomplished (even if astroturfed by big money), the democratic party needs a renewal like that. Out with the old, in with the new. Remember HOPE in the Obama years? How the energy felt after occupy wallstreet movement? There was real expectation for change towards the better. You need that, not 'vote for us because it's a two party system duh'. What are you even trying to argue here, come on.

Are you saying even when running against Hitler, the establishment won't say what the world can see out of polical expediency?

I get it, you would rather light the world on fire than stop helping Israel commit mass murder.
