Another gun loving Republican blaming others for their crime ridden cities. Memphis and Nashville have more murders per Capita than San Fran and Chicago. Rednecks, booze, and guns are a deadly mix.
Yeah, if they would ever nominate a woman it would likely be some White Nationalist election denier participate in the coup and insurrection like her. Being a social media hate and propaganda spreader like her is a bonus. Work credentials don't matter as long as you are willing to plead the fifth, and not tell the truth.
How the Right Became the Left and the Left Became the Right https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/02/opinion/left-right-reversal.html excerpt: One of the master keys to understanding our era is seeing all the ways in which conservatives and progressives have traded attitudes and impulses. The populist right’s attitude toward American institutions has the flavor of the 1970s — skeptical, pessimistic, paranoid — while the mainstream, MSNBC-watching left has a strange new respect for the F.B.I. and C.I.A. The online right likes transgression for its own sake, while cultural progressivism dabbles in censorship and worries that the First Amendment goes too far. Trumpian conservatism flirts with postmodernism and channels Michel Foucault; its progressive rivals are institutionalist, moralistic, confident in official narratives and establishment credentials. These reversals are especially evident in a pair of prominent headlines from the last week. If you had been told at any point from, say, 1970 to 2005 that a disturbed-seeming man living in the Bay Area with a history of involvement with nudist activists and the hemp jewelry trade had allegedly followed his paranoid political delusions into a plan to assault an important national politician, the reasonable assumption would have been that his delusions belonged to the farthest reaches of the left and therefore his target was probably some notable Republican. By the same token, if you had been told in George W. Bush’s presidency that a trove of government documents would reveal the Department of Homeland Security essentially trying to collude with major corporations to regulate speech it considers dangerous or subversive, an effort extending from foreign threats to domestic ones, you would have assumed that this was all Republican overreach, a new McCarthyism — and that progressives would be up in arms against it. In our world, though, things are otherwise. The man who allegedly attacked Paul Pelosi while hunting the speaker of the House did, seemingly, belong to left-wing culture, Left Coast culture in the not-so-distant past. But at some point in his unhappy trajectory, he passed over to the paranoias of the extreme right — probably not in some semi-rational radicalization process in which he watched too many attack ads against Nancy Pelosi but more likely in a dreamlike way, the nightmares of QAnon matching his mental state better than the paranoias of the left. His journey’s violent endpoint was singular and extreme, but this kind of left-to-right migration has more normal correlatives: the New Age-QAnon overlap, the Covid-era migration of formerly left-wing skeptics of Big Pharma onto right-wing shows and platforms, the way that all doubts about the medical establishment are now coded as right-wing, Trumpy, populist. And the political right’s response to the Pelosi attack reflects these shifts as well. The ethos of Fox Mulder in “The X-Files,” “Trust no one,” is a now dominant value on the right, which in this case encouraged a swift leap from reasonable questions about the details of the assault, based on inaccurate initial reports, to a very specific narrative about a gay assignation that the cops and the Pelosis were presumably covering up. As of this writing, several public references to this theory from prominent conservatives have been deleted. But the cover-up narrative will probably survive indefinitely as a reference point, an underground “truth,” like the left-wing conspiracies of old. One of those deleted tweets belonged to Elon Musk, the new impresario of Twitter, and it inevitably became an exhibit in the case for liberal panic over his takeover: What could be more indicative of the platform’s imminent descent into a democracy-destroying hellscape than conspiracy theories spread by the Chief Twit himself? But the alternative to Musk’s reign was clarified by the second recent illustration of our left-right reversal: a story from The Intercept, by Lee Fang and Ken Klippenstein, detailing the Department of Homeland Security’s migration into the social-media surveillance and the pressure the department has tried to exert on internet companies to flag and censor content along lines favored by the national security bureaucracy. more at the link
I am so sick of the ads, they don't sway me, they just make me look at them as lies, lies and more lies. They used to be just "spins" on the hald truth`s, now there just downright complete lies.........if one of those ad`s makes someone change there mind then I question the person voting
lies and ridiculous fear mongering…I just roll my eyes you’d think people would be tired of always being told to be scared of something everyone is a rapist and murderer…white people have it so hard regarding racism…they’re putting fentanyl in Halloween candy yawn
Wait the left now believes in the importance of traditional and religious values as the backbone of society?
So ya the far right has a century long history of playing victim to people's reactions to edgelord takes. And we've consistently been shown that when the right advocates for "free speech" it purely from a motivational factor of just having their speech bullhorned. It's a common theme even in online communities. The political communities like in reddit that most harp on "left censorship" are the most active in moderation of comments in their subreddit.
STFU Ted, you pathetic POS. You and your buddies in the GOP don't give a damn about anyone but the wealthy. When was the last minimum wage increase in Texas? It was back in 2009 Ted!! Thirteen years ago Ted!!!!! 13 years!!!! Do you really think $7.25 goes as far as it did back in 2009? Do you care? What sense does it make for some business to pay their workers less an hour than some customer pays for a hamburger, fries, and a coke? Be better! Texans deserve to work with more dignity than that. It's inexcusable when these companies raise their prices year after year, yet the people doing the work don't matter to our lawmakers.
