One of my close relatives, an admin in the public university system, has been getting a 10k bonus every year for 3 years for essentially writing DEI propaganda for pre-K to high school, and teaching it to prospective teachers and providing it as curriculum. She was told as soon as Trump looked serious that the entire grant program would 100% poof away if he was elected, and they announced it was shuttering as soon as he became the nominee.

She's been in my ear a lot telling me that this is the work of a LITERAL NAZI REGIME. I wish I could say more but basically, these program funding cuts are hitting in the right places IMO. A LOT of people (mostly women with multiple college degrees in Bullshit) seriously aren't really true believers and only follow the money. They're total pawns for whoever you feel our overlords are.

They like the cushy jobs with work that's all about having the right vibe and being correct, and not so much about, you know, actual labor. The reaction has been universal from these women in my life: "Oh no! No more easy money for telling children to be gay? I don't want to have to get a real job! Why did evil Trump take away the golden calf? I've got my Masters in Creative Writing and I liked organizing Drag Queen Story Night!" (Real example)
I’m going to miss the Gold Star DEI trained badge image our company made us put in our email signature. I was very fond of mine that I purposefully bitcrushed to the point of illegibility
 
Not true. The tide in Europe is definitely turning, you’d only need to look at the EU’s two largest economies (France and Germany) to notice a clear, noticeable shift to a conservatism similar to Trump’s. Italy has already done this, it’s no coincidence that their Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni was the only EU leader invited to Trump’s inauguration.

Trump showed Europe that it was possible to be elected, and the usually centrist European establishment is scared to bits. If anything, the political scenery in Europe is progressively getting closer to what it was before WWII.
Honestly, I have seen Europeans with Trump like politics making noise in Europe, but when the actual elections come around, they never seem to grab the true power needed to do anything, either because of election rules in the country, or folks in France, Germany, and elsewhere heeding the call of “we fought the Nazis before. And now it’s time to fight the Nazis once again.”
 
Hispanic is the most useless descriptive term for a people ever.
Dubya is Hispanic because he can speak Spanish.
Even universities aknowledge that "hispanic" is a made up term by political-types. You want to know how many "hispancis" actually define themselves as that? Fucking nobody. Latinos in general ascribe themselves to their country of origin before ever claiming to be hispanics/latino/ect. Mostly because they don't view themselves as a single culture or people. There's Asian level of hate between countries/ethnicities south of the US.
 
Based Gentoo Black Man weighs in



In 2 years, Trump will be 80 years old.

If he plays his cards right, JD Vance should do a lot of "shadowing" so that he can take over and run for prez after Trump's mandate. Both seem to be pretty much aligned so that should make things easier.
Vance is having the ultimate apprenticeship experience. He still has to learn to commit fully imo. I didnt like that he didnt understand why it was important to pardon/ commute all the J6ers. That it was entrapment and you cant let the deepstate intel agencies dictate reality.

Im hopefully Vance seems like a quick learner and has the baseline attributes to be Trump's Thomas Jefferson.
 
Seeing those big tech CEOs at the inaugration (Musk, Zuckerberg, Altman, Bezos, that Google pajeet), anyone else think Trump should keep their distance from them? I'm just highly skeptical of these techbros. I mean, these people were democrats not too long ago. I mean, just see how quickly Elon revealed himself to be a snake on Christmas. I feel like they're trying to turn USA into a hyper capitalist Blade Runner-esque society and the occasional "tranny bad" is just a bone thrown to keep people distracted from the kind of dystopian stuff they have planned in the background.

What about Poland? They're pretty protectionist. But a lot former Soviet bloc countries generally are.

Seeing Trump sign so many EOs only reinforces what I believe, that being that any politician who tells you "it's not that easy" just wants sit on their fucking hands and get paid for it.

It's so lygmover sisters. I bet her (his?) fibromyalgia is already kicking in at the thought of having to work like any normal individual.
 
I don't agree at all. Vance is another politician who will shift with the political winds when Trump is no longer around to lead the Republican party.

I hate to say it, but I don't see how this movement lasts beyond Trump. It is his uniqueness in American politics that has allowed him to achieve what he has, but it also means that he's virtually irreplaceable.
Vance grew up with a single druggie mom in one of the if not the poorest part of America.

I strongly doubt he's part of the political swamp.

Hell, I hope you're right. But I think the likeliest post-Trump scenario is a Republican party wearing the trappings of MAGA like a skin suit and then governing like the Mitt Romney cucks that they are deep down.
 
Hi-Points are cheap but they are actually pretty decent in terms of reliably going bang
Dude, a friend of a friend had one so my experience is from over a decade ago and literally messing with one once, but I remember the edges of everything looked like it got deburred with a cutoff wheel on an angle grinder and the slide wouldn’t come off without removing press pins.

It was VERY wtf.
 
Freeing Ross Ulbricht is the ultimate W in my book. I'm on the Trump train for life now. I'm genuinely taken aback that this wasn't just political posturing that went nowhere. I thought for sure Ross would die in prison. Trump saved his life and I will never forget it.
Trump also pardoned Rod Blagojevich, old governor of Illinois ( Arguably when it was at it's most based solely because of him ) so I knew he had the heart but if you didn't know about that or Blago's situation you would have never thought.

I think what happened to Vance is he listened to the people telling him to ally with the swamp. Then he tried to dabble with them and realized that they are a bunch of alcoholics, sex addicts, and bums who do not care about the vulgaris. Vance had two options: turn into some Dan Crenshaw creature or die with values.

He probably thought of Trump in terms of how DC swamp things talked about him. Then Vance met Trump and realized he's actually an affable dude who knows what he's doing about as much as any other bastard in DC - except Trump does actually give a shit about the vulgaris, which Vance is.
 
People are already trying to argue that for the first while they all develop female, making everyone female. I don't consider it to be an especially good argument, myself.

It's not even true. We first develop as an undifferentiated, sexless fetus until we're exposed to the right hormones at the right time.

To put it formally, we develop as neuter, with a urogenital duct and two promordial ducts called the wolffian and mullerian ducts. A Y chromosome with an active SRY gene causes the mullerian duct to atrophy and the wolffian duct to develop into the penis and related tubes, while the gonads to descend and develop into the testes. The absence of that SRY gene (with, possibly, physiological changes initiated by X-inactivation in the first week of foetal development) causes the wolffian duct to atrophy and the mullerian duct to develop into the vaginal canal and uterus, while the gonads rise higher into the abdomen and develop into the ovaries. The pop-science belief that we start out as female is derived from the fact that male development requires the SRY gene to be present, but the absence of the SRY gene in a genetic male - a rare disorder that has had a couple of high profile cases recently - doesn't turn a man into a woman, because the presence of extra genetic information on the Y, which isn't inactivated by the X, also determines a range of other systemic differentiations which cause the body to masculinise over time.
 
It's not my fault he did the complete opposite thing to the right thing. Is it a bad thing to want someone to do the complete opposite of the bad thing that they did? Can I only ask for small marginal improvements? We want to lock up the people poisoning the Volk, not set them free.
Yes, but he was convicted for being white. Nignogs get away with the same and a slap on the wrist. The judge expressly stated this. The release of one idiot lolbert is a lesser evil than letting the whites get ten times harsher sentences because of gibsmedat dindu nuffin.
What about Poland? They're pretty protectionist. But a lot former Soviet bloc countries generally are.
Just elected turbogay far left government. Romania removed the "far right" candidate after he won the first round. AfD is getting banned.

The EU is doing all it can to crush anything to the right of Pol Pot.

I also think the voting base has mostly broken the illusion that old Republicans and Democrats were against each other, and that up until recently it was pretty much a uniparty that took turns being red or blue colored.

I do not think Mitt Romney types will get the same votes anymore for the foreseeable future, people are very tired of do-nothing politicians while the nation is struggling

Also what a lot of people are forgetting is the Trump admin is making a concerted effort to hire non-political normies to important government positions BY NOMINATION, specifically those that are America First.

This means after Trump the US government will probably be absolutely littered with normal people that don't exist to globohomo
