U.S. Politics, November 2022: “I don’t know, you hear the same things I do”

a lot of the pundits don't wanna admit this but maybe, just maybe, Trumpism is a losing strategy which only succeeded in 2016 thanks to the Dems running their least popular candidate ever AND Comey putting his thumb on the scale 10 days before the election AND electoral college magic where the loser is actually the winner, because whatever political gravity the GOP has due to economic or incumbent factors sure as hell seems to get wiped out now when the actual elections take place. in fact I am starting to think that yelling about litter boxes in schools may actually turn voters off more than listing pronouns in your bio

"Swollen in head, weak in legs, sharp in tongue but empty in belly."

Lao Tzu

It seems to me like Trump accomplished nothing he wanted to and botched the COVID response horribly - got impeached twice, encouraged a coup, tried to bully officials to say he won the election... I don't know if its a losing strategy but it is certainly a crappy one

xposts Surprised he doesn't call him "Rhonda Santis"

if he gives him a nickname it's gonna be something stupid that also makes zero sense like "River Rat Ron"

DiLooooooooser

Di Sanpro

DeSanchez

Rhonda is good

"Rhonda Santa Claws spelled like the sharp things cats scratch you with"

"Very mean animals, those cats, very bad"

DiCrappedhispants

we love Florida don't we folks? But we don't like Rhonda do we? That's what I call him. He looks like a Rhonda doesn't he? From what I hear he's not a nice guy.

Wrong DeSantis

The last line of this tweet made me laugh.

You just have to look at the freakazoids who work for Tucker Carlson or hang out around Stephen Miller to see that "better educated" & "more urban" young Republicans, precisely because they live in liberal milieu are the most extreme reactionaries. Read some fucking Lovecraft!

genuine lol!

I've seen "Rhonda Santis" as a trending topic on Twitter already. If he started doing that it would stick for sure.

I endorse this message

Just got my first post-general election email appeal from Warnock - expecting 16,000 more in the next month

I've got two from him already today!

Every email I get is

'crying'
'Amazing news'
'Terrible news'
'Neanderthal, you ain't done shit'
'Proud of Neanderthal'
'The world is ending, $5 could change that'
'Devastated'
'Exhilarated'
'Horny'
'Let me explain'

James Carville: "Andy, you are my shit-list, big time."

*ON*

this guy wants him to run

Wrong Way Rhonda is still blabbing about 'The Woke' - I guess it worked for him so he's gonna keep at it

Gonna say it: maybe changing the asshole’s name to a female version of the name isn’t the best strategy, iykwim. I know it’s just stupid but really, we have to do better than associate weakness and stupidity with women.

Plus Rhonda is a kickass name, don’t let anyone tell you differently.

Who is this "we"? I'm not gonna language police the Trump chuds. Whatever acts of fratricide and cannibalism they get up to are their own business.

I know you don’t like me, but people are doing it in this thread.

Only one so far. If it becomes a thing here, I'll stand with you and say folks should cut that bullshit out. But I have different standards of behavior for myself and for the knuckle-walkers. I want them to savage each other in as unappealing-to-normal-humans a manner as possible.

yes, was just extended riffage on Trumpy possible nicknames

fwiw i agree with you unperson, felt like the riffage was more extensive than y’all did, but it’s chill obviously.

it doesn't get much closer than this

I need you to find me 62 votes

in an unfortunate turn of events for Adam Frisch, under Colorado law any election within 0.01% must be decided by a gunfight at high noon

Wow the Boebert and Lake faces are super close

for some reason this infographic is kind of cracking me up

^^^ amazing

looks like there will be an automatic recount of the Frisch / Boebert race, unless one of them widens their lead

I need to see an infographic of the infographic trends! at what points in the day yesterday were influencers promoting and retweeting infographics? How far up our own asses can we go??!
