@GeePawHill Republicans, not MAGA types, push for at least two of three. Lindsey Graham specifically. It's about oil! Kurdistan and Syria have oil too. And Khuzestan that Saddam raided. The US started to secretly back him in hope he shares some spoils.
@Helgi @GeePawHill Yeah, in truth this is Project 2025's baby. They want control over all the oil resources in the west.
That said, the OP is still right. The DOJ is defying subpoenas and redacting like crazy on the bits they do release. Whatever is in there would very possibly break Project 2025 and Trump. Unfortunately, since the entire US government is compromised, it's uncertain if we'll ever get to find out just what is in there besides the obvious (and we need the proof on the obvious)

@benroyce I have a feeling election polls must be unsettling to them.
which is strange because I'm under the impression that:
A) fascism is comfortable and on the rise
B) republicans seem comfortable
C) democrats seem comfortable ignoring it
D) progressives seem depressed
E) no viable challengers have arisen@risottobias @GeePawHill @benroyce
There's one huge 'but'.
But, the orange cockwomble is going above and beyond in reminding his 'base' that, to be completely honest, their basic needs are not being included, much less even of any importance, whatsoever, to orange and his vision of America.
Now, for the "all in" MAGA majority, only a death of someone REALLY close, where the fault is completely obvious, would knock them out of the groove, but the more cynical, more educated, they might. Especially if they rely on the ACA. (Living in a deep red state, Self employed, small business owner, gig/hospitality worker). These people are the ones who are capable of understanding that, what is happening in one state, can very easily happen in every state. The ones who have recently started or are trying to start, a family. He might not need child care today, but he will, and he .knows that once a right or benefit is taken away, getting it back, close to impossible. -

i agree with everything except
"only a death of someone REALLY close, where the fault is completely obvious, would knock them out of the groove"
this does apply to many
but don't underestimate the millions of MAGA who wouldn't even blink at that
some would sacrifice everything in this world- their family, their livelihood, everything
as long as dear leader abuses those they hate in their bigotry
absolutely nothing else is more important to them

@benroyce @risottobias @GeePawHill I know, but, I lived in Tennessee, which as far as political philosophy is about as far right as you can get, and the majority of the people (besides the obscenely rich) were decent, hard working, extremely naive and trusting of their elected officials. In addition, computer literacy was extremely low, hell, basic literacy was not universal.
And, the biggest problem "if it was good enough for my pa, and my grandpa, it's good enough for me". -

Somebody recently commented on the podcast where non-Maga offspring talk to their Maga parents.
They went through a rather distressing exchange where the kids eventually sort of said so what if Trump bombed a shopping mall I was in wouldn’t do you have a reaction and they said no because Trump would have a reason.
They should’ve asked if they would not say anything if they were bombed in their home

@benroyce @Darkphoenix @risottobias @GeePawHill We've already seen that some antivaxxers who've lost their own children to measles *still* can't acknowledge they were wrong and *still* won't vaccinate their surviving children. Of course a MAGA true believer would be sad about losing a close family member to state violence, but they'd manage to explain it away as an unfortunate accident or even somehow necessary for the betterment of MAGA USA.

War in Venezuela. War in Greenland. War in Iran.
The Epstein files must be so much worse than we'd imagined.
@GeePawHill And he hasn't finished yet - but nothing comes equal to a good, old diversionary tactic and apparently, it works... 🫤

@GeePawHill (Iran is most probably its own thing, but yes)

@LaVi invece il treno dopo è arrivato a grandate praticamente in orario, e dovrebbe essere appena arrivato a Borghi con meno di 5 minuti di ritardo (a Camerlata erano 4)
ora vediamo se ce la fa ad affrontare la Discesa

@raccoon if it works anything like floating point numbers on computers, an NB cannot be gay. The argument goes like this: NBs would map to NaNs, and gay attraction would follow similar rules to equality between numbers, and since NaN != NaN, an NB cannot be gay.
(NOTE: this is nonsense computer humo(ur), no offensive intent to NBs was intended in this joke.)

@alorenzi perché tra gli anni 50 e oggi i sistemi per la regolazione del traffico ferroviario hanno introdotto un po' di sistemi di sicurezza che fanno comodo per evitare che i treni si schiantino
(e/o per far passare treni più ravvicinati, riducendo comunque il rischio di schianti, che ok, serve alle ferrovie per guadagnare di più, ma nella situazione delle ferrovie lombarde non fa neanche schifo ai pendolari)

@valhalla finché funziona perché no. Adesso sarà un groviglio di microservizi su kuberneres 1.18 (versione di quando era partito il progetto).

@Xibanya there's a trope subversion in your case because arguably the tsundere secret admirer is arguably your senpai, but I don't think I have ever seen a «notice me, kōhai» in an anime or manga.
