When you celebrate Independence Day, remember:Academia is filled with professors like the University of Minnesota’s Melanie Yazzie, who openly preach the destruction of America.

“I hope you seek to dismantle the United States.”

Why do you insist on specifying Neoliberalism. We all know you aren’t talking about classical liberals or the now near extinct social liberals

G.K. Chesterton said that “when men choose not to believe in God, they do not thereafter believe in nothing, they then become capable of believing in anything.” But do libshits really believe in voodoo?

I wish more people knew about Chesterton.

I'm scared that I might not be able to afford doing things I wanted to just because of what this admin has done. It's making me really reconsider staying in the country if I'm being honest, something I genuinely never thought of a year ago.

You should actually leave the US and move somewhere else, you will be much happier living wherever you decide to move and the rest of us here will be much happier without you in our country. It's a win-win for everybody.

And with that, the Republican vote has been fractured and Democrats will take back control of all three branches of government.

Welcome back! I missed your robotic droning something fierce, I must admit. Do you have an updated timetable for the Newsome Reich, or are you sticking with the ground invasion of Iran which started Friday?

Is anyone else noticing an increase of the non-right calling for sabotage….? Simple statements like “hit the train yards not the streets” but still, it has certainly spiked

I hope they’re all just drunk from the three-day weekend. But if not, the hysteria will be funny either way. There is just no losing as a spectator

@Fatpacks i am curious is this some elaborate troll? You have the most horrible and peanut brained takes ever, and i struggle to see what logic allows you to arrive at your predictions.

If it is rage bait,you have certainly done a good job.

Now fuck off.

Fatpacks you seem more optimistic than me honestly,

The best I think Dems will do in the Senate, and they may squeak 220ish seats in the House

Pretty obvious to anyone with a working brain cell what I'm talking about. I'm afraid you're going to have to find someone else to argue semantics with.

Don't tell our thread mascot to fuck off. He is like a compass that points south, just interpret his post the opposite of what he says, and he is usually pretty spot on.

Nah I didn’t want to argue semantics I was just curious why you felt the need to always specifiy when we all know what you’re talking about, that’s all. No offense meant

The best indicator of how an election turns out are the events directly before the election. If you want numbers, maybe 6-4 weeks prior or less.

People whose job it is to plot strategy will eat this up no doubt. But for us normal citizens? There is more hope guessing the lottery numbers.

Have a leftover burger or hot dog. Crack a beer. Chillax.

Im still not fully over when our president declared a ceasefire via twitter without the consent of the 2 nations involved then told all the news channels to cut footage of the 2 areas in question.

For all we know the 2 places could be bombing each other daily but because we dont have AP or Reuters to confirm it how would we know its not just people on twitter making up shit?

I think we full live in a "post truth" era where there is no such thing as objectivity anymore and people will believe whatever is most expeditious or advantageous or easy in the moment without any consideration for the past or future to inform the action.

Whats objective fact now? a peer reviwed paper? you trust that acedimia isent beholden to the grant distributors and funding allocaters? Major news sources? All have been compromised. The consensus off the masses? its all manufactured, people dont meet and communicate en mass in real life so all online communication can be monitored and manipulated or even silenced.

take the trump tweet or the CNN article, either way you get the lie you wish to believe without anyway to verify yourself..

it’s all fake and gay just like polling, your just as well off reading bird signs or a sheep’s entrails for predictions.

Yep, it's really hard to guess anything far out. Hell, for 3 months after the last election everyone was still saying harris (lol) was going to be their nom in 2028. I guess in theory it's still possible, but no.

Elon's trying to throw a wrench in it all for sure. I think the best, and probably most likely outcome of his little party will be a wet fart that doesn't do anything even in midterms.

are you retarded? both of those places have internet and people who upload stuff. Why do you rely on AP and Reuters to report news? Just look at social media

Can you really call a reverse oracle "ragebait" if his purpose is for us to steer away from the worst outcome each time? Have a little faith in him, man!

You still have another year and a half to go through for the midterms and there's still a lot more yet to come. If you're so sure that the benefits are going away and that we'll be going into fascism, enact your plan to move to China so you can teach English at the schools. I think that's pretty solid if you ask me.
