Trump Derangement Syndrome - Orange man bad. Read the OP! (ᴛʜɪs ᴛʜʀᴇᴀᴅ ɪs ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴋɪᴡɪ ғᴀʀᴍs ʀᴇᴠɪᴇᴡs ɴᴏᴡ) 🗿🗿🗿🗿

The real tragedy for these democrats if Trump wins isn't that he gets another term. It's that millions of people were terrified and jewed en masse by the usual suspects into supporting a dead (possibly literally) candidate because he has a D after his name instead of voting third party and attempting to affect real change in the system.

Third party isn't the answer. Forcing the Democrats to answer for their behavior these past 30 years is. Every time there's a democrat primary, there are plenty of young candidates with fresh ideas but the establishment forces an ancient runner-up from some past election down everyone's throats. The one big exception to this rule was Obama, but he was groomed by the establishment and co-oped quickly. But in almost all other races, what did we have? Al Gore - former vice president. John Kerry - aging senator who was last relevant when he sold out his country in the 60's. Hillary Clinton - lost in 08 and had to settle for Secretary of State. Joe Biden - another former vice president and someone who is well known for being wrong on every issue for 40 years. And who do the socialists drag out every four years? Bernie Sanders, Bernie Sanders, Bernie Sanders. It's almost as pathetic as the lolbertarians and Ron Paul.

This is not what a healthy political party looks like, this is what an entrenched political class looks like. The Democrats have plenty of fresh faces with fresh ideas. They even have some young socialists like Cortez, who I personally hate to death but she is still a politician with huge amounts of potential for those inclined to agree with her. But every primary they're pushed aside, and effectively treated as interns at worst and spokesmen at best. The Democrats NEED to invest in a new generation of candidates, but for 30 years the trash from the 60's have run the show.

Meanwhile, the Republicans - while still electing old candidates I'll grant you - regularly have party shakeups. Reagan was not Nixon, Bushes were certainly not Reagan, and Trump is none of the above (really more like a moderate democrat from the 60's; the Republicans just 10 years ago would never have been so focused on securing union jobs and instead were "lol free trade is a suicide pact"). Constant renewal of their politics, policies, and priorities. That's what healthy political parties look like. When Republicans lose, they don't double down but instead start looking for an outlier that will shake off a few electoral college votes from off the Democrat tree. But what do Democrats do when they lose? They double down and start talking about voter suppression, when they should be talking about voter disinterest and considering who among their roster is a fresh new face. For the Presidency. Not the Vice Presidency, like they're doing with Harris, and certainly not some minor congressional seat. Actually letting the excited and enthusiastic aspects of the party lead their election campaign forward.

If I were a democrat, I'd be fucking livid with what had been done to my party.
 
Just three more days until Election Day now, people.
I just hope we don't have to wait a month for all the fraudulent ballots to get counted. The polls are starting to trend upwards like in 2016 but with the new voting laws in NC, PA, etc. it's looking like we'll need a landslide on election day to cut off the fraud before it happens.
 
I love the TS drama about her master "tapes" - it ain't the 1960s anymore... her "masters" are probably a digital file and she's a lying bitch, it will have been a contract stipulation that she had no say over the "master" recordings...
lotta musicians make that mistake

and her father was a major shareholder in the label she was signed to and would have received a letter for the shareholder votes on the purchase of the label and his shares being sold on or transferred
afaik it's not literally meant to be the physical media of the recordings, but the ownership of the IP of the recordings
like how people in radio still say "cart number" even though carts haven't been a thing for about 20 years
 
Trump may be the biggest victory for the Republican party yet in recent memory.

I can't see them revamping their newly adopted style anytime soon, especially with how the Democrats treated them the past four years.
If Trump loses, expect to hear a lot of “Trumpism never worked/was a fluke” from the GOP talking heads. They ultimately want to be like the Democrats, with secure elections and a “managed decline” of the United States. The latter of which is indeed official policy of our state department. I go to enough MIC product seminars to know that. Always talking about the new wunderwaffe tank or stealth jet that ultimately won’t fight a single real war, but will get the right parties a fat contract for a while. And as I'm sitting there listening to these people talk about this shit, all I can think of is "How are we going to get replacement parts in a shooting war with China, who makes those parts? How many can we build per month? Can we build enough to replace combat losses? How many will China build in a month?" and so on. And the answer to all those questions is "Shut up, the entire point of this is to pretend we can actually fight a war with China." If China invaded Taiwan in between election day and inauguration, do you know what the US would do? Let Taiwan go. Why? Because it's not worth collapsing the entire house of cards that NATO and its pacific allies have built up for themselves. And it's not because China is unstoppable or all this was inevitable, but because actually being ready for a shooting war isn't in anyone's interests. Nobody wants to take that seriously, except maybe Trump who actually wants our industrial base to come back to the US.

And if he loses, expect all the talk to be that we must ACCEPT that the United States is no longer a superpower, or no longer the only superpower. That China has its sphere of influence and we must accept it. That it is simply INEVITABLE for China and India to steal our technology, our industry, our high paying jobs because it's their turn in the sun and we can only hope to be happy in their shadow. The Republicans will HAPPILY go back to "the consequences of globalism are inevitable because muh free trade" idiocy after Trump, because that's the comfort zone of Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, and Mitch McConnell. They spent the years between Reagan and Trump happy to sell out our country's superpower status and distract their base with evangelical noise, muh Ronald Reagan, and BLESS OUR TROOPS patriotism while sending them to die in order to further British and French foreign policy in the Middle East THAT'S OVER A HUNDRED FUCKING YEARS OLD. That's the Republican Party. A party of con artists and senile Cold Warriors. And if you think only four years of Trump can change any of that, you have not been paying attention these past four years because Trump was hindered at every turn by these same people among his own fucking staff. We've only had small victories thus far, and there's too much overconfidence among Trump's hardcore who are going to be in for a rude awakening when Trump's memory is only ever used by establishment republicans as nostaglia bait - exactly like Reagan was - while they "manage the decline" all the way to the United States' eventual grave, right beside the British.
 
I have learned more about Taylor Swift from this thread then back when I was a fan back during my teenage years and she was still writing break up songs.
Everything I know about Taylor Swift, I learned from the Russell Greer thread.

Meanwhile most Trump supporters are sitting in their living rooms and probably willing to have a chat with these people over a beer or some Whose Line.

But the second you let them into your house they'll start shitting on your sofa, breaking your shit, and trying to light the drapes on fire because you're a Nazi and their righteous anger must be satisfied.
There is just no talking to them any more. Not even the older ones, who used to have some basic reasoning skills, common sense, and skepticism of the media, and who I could have talked with about our disagreements years before. Can't do it now; start pointing out an obvious lie in the media, or ask what they think of the big Middle East peace deal, and they get as agitated as the demented old man they're voting for. They're gone, and I don't know if they're ever coming back, or what will finally shock them out of it.

The young ones, though--I've generally liked older Millenials, and think they get a bad rap. But the younger Millennials and Zoomers are truly lost generations. Not every single one of them, mind you, but as a group? They're fucked.

He also cultivates some healthy habits very few people credit him for. He doesn't drink or smoke, and despite the jokes about him eating McD's every day, his diet seems to be pretty healthy. Add to that that he's a germaphobe, and unless he has a stroke or some other internal issue he should be hanging on for a while.

And before the TDS squad starts praying for that... let us all remember his father died aged 93 of pneumonia, and his mother died age 88 of... old age.
All that golf he plays, that the left constantly complains about? It gets him outside, engaged in physical activity in the sun and fresh air. Which is good for him anyway, but thanks to that I'll also bet he wasn't Vitamin D deficient when Corona-chan stopped by.

If I were a democrat, I'd be fucking livid with what had been done to my party.
Yeah, I fucking am. Especially after these last four years, when it's become patently obvious that not only did the DNC not learn a single goddamned thing from Trump's first victory, but they arrogantly assumed there was absolutely nothing they needed to learn. As far as they're concerned, it wasn't a failure of their message or candidate that cost them the election, but rather a moral and intellectual failure on the part of the voters who chose Trump instead.

Watching the DNC and its supporters in action these last four years has given me flashbacks to growing up with a Narcissist. They can do no wrong; the fault always lies with others; they engage in black-and-white thinking in which they are all good and their opponents all bad; they put their wants over others' genuine, expressed needs; and they will rewrite history, make up stories, and gaslight the fuck out of you if you question them.

So fuck 'em. I'm done.
 
De La Soul made an anti-Trump anthem that sounds generic and lame as you can expect.

How can a classic rap group that made one of the best debut rap albums in history go from making this?


To this?


It’s insane to see old school rap artists continue to chase trends like profiting off of anti-Trump screeds, while Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Ice Cube are trying to make progress.
Their last good album was 25 years ago, and they really never did release any solid albums, they were always mediocre efforts with a couple/few decent tracks. Like most New York rappers they were buoyed by the NYC media machine pushing them to the front regardless of quality. But all the magazines and MTV says they're tops! Then you try to listen to the promoted album and you discover that it would have been better for to issue a single containing those one or two good songs and then blow their brains out.

For a project that is supposedly important they sure chose the saddest production possible. Not sending their best.

Digital and tape are not mutually exclusive. I don't know how often DAT is used anymore, but throughout the '90s and into the early '00s it was common. It was digital and it was tape, and it was the dominant form of master storage for a long time. Even reels were used into the '90s. Tape hasn't been gone that long, though maybe long enough to where her masters have never touched tape. Maybe...
 
@HumanHive

Does that mean me saying that if these urban cities would vote Republican, their problems would be fixed over time was wishful thinking?

Fuck, I sound like a shill.
 
I find it funny how all my local media outlets say a Biden victory would be a major setback to brazilian trade relations, yet they openly cheer for him to win the US election.
They'd rather see the country going down in flames than giving either Bolsonaro or Trump a victory. This is the point we have reached.

Come to think of it, I don't see much TDS online from Brazil. Euros, Aussies and Leafs definitely, they're incessant with their smugness, but barely any from those in Latin/South America, Africa or Asia.

Only Brazilian friend I know is pro-enviornment and hates the current leader, but is anti-SJW and thinks Trump's smart from what she's seen. Dunno if that's a common thought or the minority there. Big country after all.

First off can these faggots stop saying we live in a democracy, we live in a republic god dammit. Second off all these twitter historians always make incredibly vague comparisons to Hitler that could be applied to any politician with an enthusiastic base, and this dude is very conveniently ignoring all of the race riots democrats incited and continue to incite. Where's the literary and cultural base for someone like Hitler to ride on, and where was the depression and social unrest in 2016 for trump to capitalize on to get elected. These tards always ignore the surrounding factors that allowed hitler to rise to power, including the fact that there were a number of political parties in the weimaraner republic that would've been considered extreme today besides the natsoc party. Ironically what democracts have done the last year has been more comparable to the natsoc tactics, but I wouldn't stoop to their level.

There isn't much TDS from Brazil because they're more busy dealing with Bolsonaro Derangement Syndrome, an affliction almost as extreme. Same shit with any Latin American country governed by a right-winger, like Chile, Uruguay and Ecuador.
Mind you, there is also Bolsonaro Enslavement Syndrome to counter-balance it. I want nothing to do with those people who think he's the second coming of Jesus.

There is a bit of overlap between Bolsonaro fans and Trump fans, but not that much between these two and anti-SJW's. Gotta remember not everyone is a fan of brash populists. Several right-wing pages I follow on Instagram either loathe Bolsonaro but love Trump, or loves them both. There's also a fair share who think both are clueless rubes, but are certainly not left-wingers in any way. All left-wingers and the media (I repeat myself) hate them both with a passion.

It's a bit complicated. There will always be a tint of anti-Americanism in left-wing politics because muh imperialism.

And to think some commies thought then Chavez and Maduro was the second coming of Jesus but then they'll said it wasn't real communism while Venezuela was screwed. I prefer Bolsonaro Enslavement Synrome instead of Maduro Enslavement Syndrome.

Looks like De La Soul wants to outdone the Dixie Chicks.

If this guy wants to attempt to save face when Trump wins again, he can say this was a late april fool's joke. Because the fat dude isn't a Medusa gorgon and is not being modest at all. But that's implying the left can meme. 🚬
