One of the lowest points in US history - the president going on unhinged white supremacist rants in public appearance after public appearance, targeting a specific ethnic group - but because it’s Trump our political class is incapable of perceiving what it is and reacting appropriately

Trump is so debasing to republicans that their only way to deal with him is by playing stupid. this shit is so embarrassing, honestly

I'm not really into Hazbin Hotel or Smiling Friends for pretty much exact opposite reasons. I need a "this porridge is just right" adult cartoon.

Finished my first Priest in Legion Remix

I hate this sort of meme. “The only difference between the parties is whether the power to destroy human civilization rests in the hands of leaders who think gays, women, and black people should have their rights acknowledged.” Even if true, how is Rainbow B-52 not infinitely preferable?

The Iron Law of Trump is "No matter how bad you think it is, it's worse" and it's never failed once.

It’s never too late to stop falling for it again

Biden: Hey Jack, here's a rambling but true anecdote from Scranton Trump: I met with him, Governor Shoes-on-feet, guy with brown shoes, black shoes, such crazy colors The Press: That first guy has dementia

“Why has virtually every country in the world seen an abrupt rise in extremist politics, especially on the far-right, starting at approximately the same date the iPhone was released” The most important question in politics but maybe not a hard one

A movie you've seen more than seven times with a gif:

A guildmate got me an art piece of my Nightborne as a plushy! Art by @aleklah.bsky.social - such a cute li'l murderdoll!

There is almost nothing in Tolkien as pervasive as his love for the small and vulnerable, for the meek and the gentle. These are not the values of these thugs and they do not have any claim to them.

Unfortunately being in her 70s probably will hurt Mills and not Collins because every human being alive holds Democrats to higher standards than Republicans whether they realize it or not.

Excuse me?

It is 2025 and I am watching new Homestuck content

なでなでのとりこになっちゃったイーブイ

Their are two political parties in this country. One of them hates LGBT people and the other is the Democrats. 98% of voters would accept this as an accurate analysis and the other 2% would fly into a rant about why it's not.

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"

rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words

Take it from some who teaches about drone strikes, “I shed no tear for that guy” and “this is bad, it shouldn’t have happened” can be normal reactions to have simultaneously. Opposition to political violence isn’t about personal sympathy for an individual target per se, it’s about society.

I remain steadfastly opposed to gun violence, even when the victim is one of the most soulless contributors to our social and moral rot.

The most aggressively child-free person I knew just announced she's having a kid. Like, I know personal anecdotes =/= data, but this kind of affirms what I've always thought about the "child-free" movement, that it's not worth being so gung-ho about it because you might change your mind!

You never see a piece about how rural America needs to learn to tolerate the city folk or Donald Trump needs to respect the dignity of the office or anything like that because *everyone knows they won’t f’ing do it.* The reward for trying, however imperfectly, to be good is to be told you’re bad.

Since 2018 i've lived by a very firm rule of "don't get invested in democratic primaries in places you don't live" and it has yet to steer me wrong

Every single poll for the past 15 years shows cringe middle class suburbanites being the most supportive of lgbt rights and progressive policy in general but lol getting anyone on this site to admit that

So like 60% of the dreams I've ever had in my life have taken place in this house

I went to college with a Catholic anime fan, he wrote fanfics about his favourite waifus converting to Catholicism. At the time I thought it was the most bizarre manifestation of autism I'd ever seen. Now it's an entire type of Internet Guy.

Weird how there are multiple news stories about how Bluesky is kind of rude to centrists and almost no news stories about how Twitter is now so racist it would make a Klan rally blush.

Part of the problem with omnicause shit is that it flattens everything to being as important as everything else until you’re coming up with some twisted logic for why having a different opinion at the margins on AI means you’re on the wrong side of trans rights or something.

Kind of wild to me how excited so many people are about Homestuck being "back." I was super into Homestuck for a long time but like it had one of the worst fall-offs in quality I've ever seen? Do people not remember this or are they just choosing to ignore it?

Maher does what most centrist media has been doing: every fringe opinion tweeted out by some rando is a direct representation of the official Dem policy platform, but things Trump says with his own mouth are not official policy positions of the Republican party. It's an entirely untenable situation.

I'm afraid you don't mean it. Again.

We are ruled by criminals. How is that working out for us? Be gay and fund the IRS.

Had a dream last night that two prominent Lib Politics Twitter posters started dating, which I feel is pretty solid evidence I need to spend less time on that goddamn website.

I am a transsexual liberal academic in training on a New England college campus who thinks the Great Satan Drumpf should be impeached and thrown in jail. Or, as it is known on BlueSky, “far right.”

Hey, remember this? You probably don’t because it was grudgingly celebrated for 24 hours then never mentioned again because it went against the narrative that random communist shitposters did more for trans people than Sarah McBride. Good times.

the core of my politics is that Republicans are evil. I support politicians who understand that regardless of whether they are leftists or centrists

I did the thing with my incredibly poor MS Paint skills

Yes! I am a centrist insofar as I am not as far left as the left-most ideological flank (capitalist instead of socialist, etc) but I think "centrist" is better used to describe people who try to "good people on both sides" extremist viewpoints while acting "above" them, see: most legacy journalists.

I've had a rule since ~2018 to not get invested in Democratic primaries outside of where I live, since people on the Internet get way too insane and wrapped up in it. That said, I'm glad Cuomo lost. Kicking sexual abusers to the curb is more important than petty centrist/leftist catfighting.

Cuomo spent the whole campaign trashing the Democratic Party while Mamdani never shied away from being a Democrat. For both centrists and leftists it's an important lesson: if you want to win a party primary you should outwardly like the party.

Bonus Discworld QOTD, from The Wee Free Men “Nac Mac Feegle! The Wee Free Men! Nae king! Nae quin! Nae laird! Nae master! We willna' be fooled again!”

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

Finished chapters 3 and 4 of Deltarune. I love these guys so much. Has there ever been a pair that more perfectly matches each others freak?

I think a lot of hard left accounts on here don’t fully realize the extent to which the center-left genuinely believes they made a good faith effort to reach out which was met with rejection, betrayal, and libel. You may not think it accurate or fair, but the belief is sincerely held.

My new Tangent “Daddy Politics" is about the psychodynamic and cognitive-linguistic reasons everyone hates freedom and wants to be vigorously spanked like a bad little girl. Up now on Patreon: www.patreon.com/contrapoints...

God the new contrapoints video is great, love when she goes full lib.

Got my Emblemcon commission of Leo and Beruka back from @hanjyuus.bsky.social - I love it, thank you so much!

In the same way that the brand of Christianity that Trump’s most zealous followers practice is an anti-Christian heresy that actually disdains many core tenets of Christianity, Trumpist patriotism is anti-American in a very deep and fundamental way.
