US Politics, March 2023: "We want our own safe space, and we deserve it"

but the kids, the kids!

the Defund & Socialist kids look like they're finally seeing things clearly for the first time

“Culturally I identify with Pepin County, Wisconsin.”

Huge lol at this tweet: I’m from, like, all the swing states.

So he's saying he was born Floridian but ... identifies as Rust Belt? Sounds pretty woke, DeSantis.

"My pronouns are 'youse' and 'yinz'."

lol

I would also love a good explainer on how, why and when someone decided blue-collar white guys in Pennsylvania are the ur-Americans. It's Biden's whole shtick too obviously.

pittsburgs got the soot covered iron workers and phillys got the yelling across the street guys, the two types of working class whites

I think all of your questions might be answered by listening to Billy Joel's "Allentown".

Will we ever have a Mummer President?

I bet Gritty could get elected nationally.

Tipsy, it's an old trope but I think this is where it became employed tactically:

Yeah and even older than that, it was part of Nixon's whole "silent majority" pitch. I just think it's funny that specifically white working-class Pennsylvania gets elevated to this mythical status. As a Penn State grad with an ex-father-in-law who was central casting for the type it feels like such a weird reductive idea of "America."

They're all Archie Bunker, just transposed to a state with winnable electoral votes

if only trump can stop world war 3 and he's going to be in prison after Tuesday then what?

this would be hilarious, please let it happen

One of the risks of putting Trump in jail pending trial is that Proud Boys and others may make a serious attempt to break him out of jail.

If you think I'm being sensationalistic, remember that a lot of folks said something like January 6 was impossible.

I’m just surprised De Santis didn’t t try to cover all the swing states. “I carry on the legacy of my Arizonan/Georgian/Michigan/North Carolinan/Pennsylvanian/Ohioan” ancestors.”

my presidential run biopic will say this

If you think I'm being sensationalistic

Peddling the idea that Trump will be held in jail pending trial is completely sensationalistic. Won't happen. Crazy to suggest it will.

he won’t be held in jail if he’s convicted of anything is my expectation

no president of the country, former or current, will ever be in jail a day

The dreams people had of Nixon.

good morning!

I’m going full resistance lib this week

why not treat yrself

full resistance libs will spend all week complaining about Merrick Garland and being upset that Trump isn't in handcuffs

I hear the Marshal of the Supreme Court is making his move.

Thurgood?

I heard trump is going to be executed at Guantanamo by a military commission headed by JFK Jr

But if you buy a $80 commemorative gold coin which will only increase in value in the future, it helps him to take back America

Also snowflake libs literally melt if you show them his golden visage

Would like to see the texts Ginny Thomas is sending right now

Didn't realize McConnell has been mia since he took a fall a bit back ...

Waiting for someone to flip him over probably

lol

ha ha, zackly!

but they always do. :(

Trump really ramping up on DeSantis today, because of that Monmouth Poll showing DeSantis losing ground. Another poll or two like that and I wonder if DeSantis decides now is not actually his moment.

https://www.monmouth.edu/polling-institute/reports/monmouthpoll_us_032123_2/

good, could he quit ruining the lives of trans and gay people, and minorities?

Alas, he probably has more power to ruin lives as governor of Florida than he would as a national political figure.

Florida's rightward lurch and compliant legislature means that he can actually make his hateful policies real - as a presidential candidate (or even president) his power would likely be seriously diluted. Even Trump (an odious creature whose soul is full of eels) could only encode so much hate nationwide, due to individual states' sovereignty and the retarding power of the congress

and the retards in his party

sorry

The flipside for DeSantis obv is, waiting-your-turn is not at all a reliable path. (Joe Biden notwithstanding, I guess.) His visibility is probably higher right now than it's ever been or maybe ever will be. Serving out his second term leaves him open to any vulnerabilities that come up during it, and also voters might feel like he's already old news if he doesn't run.

To be clear, I think DeSantis shouldn't ever run for anything again, so even though I'd enjoy parts of him and Trump beating each other up, I'm all in favor of him not running.

I'm feeling a little smug about my November 2022 prediction, i.e. he peaked, it's downhill from there

Yeah who the fuck knows what 2028 will bring, it’s kinda now or never for him I think

lol maybe he leverages a veep slot out of it, can you imagine?
