Godspeed you are inspiring me to vote straight R and L and make sure not a single rino gets in charge.

Color revolutions usually need a deep sort of divide that can be exploited by a foreign or domestic adversary. People forget that the Soviet union helped create the first color style revolution in Iran it's just color revolutions make it so a nation can be In play for a map.
It's just color revolutions can often flip in ways that are unexpected. Sometimes you could have a regime you color revolution fall into rival hands either through shrewd political plays or outright invasion. Innother cases color revolutions can result in unexpected factions taking control. Think for example in Iran where the Islamic radicals quickly and swiftly purged the communists once they got into power and forced everyone else to bow down.

That's not what you said. You said:
Color revolutions only succeed when a huge majority of a country's population is fed up with the government and the people are socially connected enough that violence is not desired.

And that is not what happened in the Orange Revolution. Nor did it happen with the Rose Revolution, although that at least did have protests against the government, but I don't think they represented the majority, let alone huge majority. What you're talking about is if a foreign power co-opted a movement already representing the majority of the people. Not astroturfing movements from the start and using them as a cover for them to enact regime changes via things like fake claims of rigged elections.

So MAGA Republicans are good looking fella's that women and gay men think their butts are hot?

my wife feels strongly about my butt being attractive, and although gay friends have never seriously made a pass at me, I can think of at least one who confided with a shared friend that he was a little disappointed I'm as fiercely hetero as I am

I don’t really care about squirrels. I think the story is complete lunacy though, and I love the meme that Trump is somehow this tender animal protector.

Yeah, that's what I got from the ads and what my mom was saying.

Mom voted third party for the senate and my dad just hates Sherrod Brown.

This senate race pretty much determines if Democrats are going to have a chance at keeping the senate. They're already going to lose West Virginia because Manchin retired and it's not looking good for them in Montana with Tester so their best hope is flipping Texas and winning the Presidency which means that Walz would have control. They lose one other race, which the likeliest is this race, then they have no chance of flipping the senate even if they win the presidency. Only thing is that I have a feeling that if he does lose, Brown is not going to disappear even though he's 71 years old. It wouldn't surprise me if he tries to take a crack at the Governor's position in 2026.

Demoralize a democrat as much as you can, if that's represented in a squirrel then go be it. They will stay home if they're demoralized enough: talk about gaza, talk about all the money spent on the campaign, talk about liz cheney and george bush and shit. Whenever they obviously lie keep referring back to those ugly lies at every turn. Make them so demoralized and buck broken to the point at which the turnout falls into nothing.

You don't attack them or even convince them that they're wrong just demoralize so they don't turnout to vote.

That's what i've been doing. I've been larping as a disillusioned democrat on Twitter who supports Cornel West and mentions Kamala's support for the genocide with articles pointing her support, Tim Walz's support, and others.

Libertarian party cleansed of anarchists and leftists
Click to expand...
I agree on cleansing the leftist wing, but the anarchists are a large part of the reason Trump has gained so much traction in Libertarian circles. They're the ones who got Trump to speak at the LNC and start talking about freeing Ross Ulbricht and appointing libertarians to positions in his administration.

Purging the anarchists would just lead to the party appointing a gay race communist every year instead of just this one, as ironic as that may sound.

In retrospective, I will miss Joe. I know that this was a one off and there will never be another President like him.
Every press conference and speech was a special thing.
Every one had these unique and wholesome moments where we all could come together and enjoy a short moment of happiness as the president slowly but surely goes insane.
Just a shame about the whole corrupt apparatus around him running the entire western world into the ground face first at a speed that saw 4 years do more damage than the previous 20.

Also, here is the obligatory "imagine if this was the other way around and Trump said that" line.

Just early voted in the great Garden State :semperfidelis:

I’m genuinely convinced the polls “corrected” to the flat center to avoid as much scrutiny as possible. “Oh Trump won? Well as you see we were saying it’s anyone’s race.”

Nate Silver thinks so too, he called out some pollsters by name as having no balls - his actual words too - “no balls” which was refreshing tbh. He called this effect “herding.”

am i retarded? that second graph seems to show that based on more 'racist' categorization, the US would be considered more white than it is now? is it because we didn't consider mexicans non-white or something?
Click to expand...
Older classifications counted Hispanics and Indians as white, and mixed-race wasn't an option until 2000. It's even worse than it looks because middle easterners/north africans were still "white" in 2017, when this was written. Link: https://www.coopercenter.org/research/will-whites-be-minority-2040

I don't deny that the US white majority will be a minority eventually but is it me or is the "forever" part fearmongering a little? Sure if the left wins they will make sure that they'll flood the country until everywhere is solid blue, but this implies that America at some point wont collapse, hispanics and blacks will never have a negative population to the point where whites would outbreed them. I mean I bet back then people thought that a white majority would be forever and never change, so why can't the same happen in reverse?

You're forgetting that only the US white population is being told to never have kids, and sterilize them with puberty blockers if they do. Only majority-white towns are being flooded with hatians. Black towns in the Arkansas delta can stay black but white towns in Ohio need to be enriched. Only whites get killed in the streets with no consequence.

Also, the USA and a few other countries are all that whites have. Our race doesn't have a reserve like the Congo or northern India where tens of millions of us live in permanent poverty, have ten kids each so that eight survive, and send five of those on boats to invade other countries. If the birth rate of second generation Latinos drops below replacement they'll just keep sending more from other continents.

Note that it's anarchists just as much as leftists who are the reason Libertarianism is associated with the age of consent and child pornography, rather than Anarchism. Which I am not quick to forgive them for any more than the leftists.
