Lulu Books is a self-publishing outfit that, unlike its competitors iUniverse and xLibris, charges nothing for a manuscript to be uploaded and turned into a book. The books are printed on-demand. There is no editing or quality control of any kind. Notice how it costs $22 for a 130-page book? The author probably gets about $5 of that (far better than a conventional publisher's royalty, to be sure). The rest is spent on the expensive print-on-demand process.

Harris is a worse candidate than Biden but it needs to be reminded for normies why she is so terrible. The media is going through a full propaganda blitz for her after months of even Dems starting to doubt Biden's chances. I am not going to doompost yet, but it depends really on if the Trump campaign can successfully make it clear to the public that Harris is simply unelectable as effectively as Biden proved he was unelectable himself during the debate, hopefully with some help from Harris herself. If he can succeed in that, I won't be so worried.

These braindead apes crying about Project 2025 are actually driving me insane. None of them have actually read it, and none of them understand that it's just the most recent version of the Mandate for Leadership that the Heritage Foundation has been putting out every election since Reagan. The only actual policy suggestions they cry about are the ones that would require Congress to pass. The other ones are reddit-tier "Trump is going to force women to have babies and it will be illegal to be queer" fanfiction.

I don’t get it. Everything seems like a gigantic lie or conspiracy but it’s all so retarded that it makes no sense.

I think the key thing is to just notice that it doesn't make sense. See when they are lying and when fake narratives are put out. See that most people seem to fall for it because they don't know enough basic facts about reality. That they just listen to the story they are told to think is reality.

The annoying thing is that it's really easy to try and wonder what is really going on, but even when you notice bullshit and lies. There's plenty of times none of us know enough to really understand. Which is why it's easy to go down the conspiracy theory route. The problem is they lie so much that there's always things we don't know.

If Trump loses to this candidate under these circumstances, I believe I will finally be ready to admit that voting is fake and gay and grind up a bottle of doompills and snort them

I think the truly scary thing will be if he legitimately loses. That the 1984 propaganda state is really here. People are literally just NPCs programmed what to think. The propaganda campaign is just beginning. I'm sure we all know people where we try and discuss politics or current events and they seemingly don't know basic facts yet have strong convictions in their opinions, held on an emotional level. You mention something you assume everyone knows as it is so plainly true and uncontroversial and the person has never heard of it and treats it with suspicious.

This isn't the best example but one that sticks out to me. I was discussing Biden to someone a while ago and mentioned how bad Karine Jean-Pierre was to someone. They were confused as to what I was talking about. They literally live in a world where they had never seen how fucking awful and retarded she is. The person is a professional academic in the field of politics.

I spoke to someone the other day who somehow avoided ever seeing the Trump getting shot video. That suppression of him looking good, the video and the photo actually worked. They also shrugged it off as no big deal and nothing. So we can wonder about people passionate for Ukraine, but not knowing about the coup, the civil war, the minsk agreements or expansion of NATO issues. The problem goes far far worse than that. People don't even know basics of current events in their own countries.

I watched a wholesome video the other day of Trump with a young man dressed as him. Signing a note, being warm and friendly. That side of Trump doesn't exist to so many people as they will never see anything positive about him, just people telling them he's the devil. Just look at the people saying the shooting was fake. A big part of it is the Trump they have been educated to think exists would never act like that in the moment. So they don't believe it. They think he's some evil, mean petty man who demands an extra scope of Ice cream and throws spaghetti at the wall having immature temper tantrums.

On the bright side, if enough of us survive the initial purges and manage to salvage some guns, we could probably take over a small central American nation with ease after they've emptied all their gutter trash northward.

Feedback loop. Trump winning seemed slightly less certain, and if it seems slightly less certain for us it's likely to make never Trumpers very uncertain, which overall makes the voting odds uncertain, which makes Trump winning seem uncertain, and if it seems very uncertain for us then for never Trumpers...

I've made a point to completely ignore Project 2025. No clue what it is. Trump's website says Agenda 47. Seems decent.

Also the news are going with "Vance was a bad choice and according to sources close to political science the GOP are freaking out."

She has done nothing but fuck up the few tasks she was handed. The border is a huge one. She has failed miserably.

Democrat voters want all restrictions on migration lifted. They made it clear during four straight years of TDS hysteria that there is no restriction on immigration, not even requiring visibly sick, unidentified nationals clearly not from Mexico to stay outside of America, that they think is acceptable, and Kamala has delivered in spades. Open borders is what they want, open borders is what they got, and they're going to reward Kamala for it in November.

I think a lot of people are forgetting Kamala's win condition isn't be more popular then Trump. Her win condition is to simply not be such a fuck up that when the million misplaced Kamala ballots show up at 2AM the voters can plug their ears and shut their eyes and call the win plausible.

That's why Joe had to go. A senile potato beating the populist funny Orange Man was too implausible.

Extremely fun idea, very likely to not happen. Even behind the scenes, I don't think their pride would let them work with the person who owns the basket of deplorables.

However... their spite. Spite is an entirely different matter. I don't know Jill that well, but she seems exceptional enough to do some stupid shit like this. Cunt got herself her own theme song, so she will DEFINITELY miss the perks.

Oh to be a fly on the wall to figure out how the Elite got Jill (and to a lesser extent Hunter) to fall in line and give up their power. I can't wait until Jill goes full scorched earth and backstabs the DNC.

I was totally rooting for Biden and Jill to stay in the race just out of sheer stubbornness, hilarity, and spite for Jill, even though deep down I knew it wasn’t happening. Kamala might be less popular than a coconut, but the media will paint her as the “savior of democracy,” and how cool she is fooling the general public.

As I've stated before, it’s way more believable if Kamala ends up with "record-breaking voter numbers." Why? Because she’s younger than Trump, not Trump, and her image can be polished to perfection by the media as its been done with others in the past. Anyone who questions that is instantly labeled sexist and racist. She’d have to say something so outrageous that even the media can't spin it to get into real trouble. So, Trump’s got to play high-stakes now, calculating every move to beat the DNCs rigging on election day.
