Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?

Remember at the beginning of the pandemic when shit looked like it was getting real and all the woke shit looked like it was disappearing for a month or two. Naturally, people figured out that they were just going to be trapped in their homes for a while and they started to get fat fucking unemployment checks and Woke was back on the menu, in the biggest possible way.

Yeah, except there's one tiny, tiny problem: if they're not hardcore believers, where do they tend to get their news? From sources that are "reputable."
The more likely reason that there's all the "Cancel Culture" articles is alternatively for simple narrative control. The media knows that all they have to do is say the same thing enough times and people who just want to grill will believe it, so that they can go back to their comfortable lives without having to think too hard.
The difference between the Fundies and Woke is the Fundies never had the full court backing of Big Tech, Academia, and nearly all other reputable organizations simultaneously.

Now you know why Democrats want to make Texas blue: because people like Abbott make their blood boil.

Abbott is idiotic about inviting California businesses into Texas, though. They're not going to abandon their faith because they move.

I’m pretty sure all parties know it’s about taxes and the bottom line.

I actually stocked on distilled because you can guarantee it will never be contaminated. And if you‘re concerned about the nutrient loss, keep a few things of salt and baking soda nearby and mix in 1/4 tsp every couple glasses.

The "reputable" sources don't nearly have as much traction with younger audiences than you think they do: most of their demo is 45+. I'm not going to sugarcoat it and say people will just magically stop reading NYT or watching CNN, but I tend to be optimistic that most people at least tend to blame the government in power for poor economic performance, and not the guys with no power. The Democrats would literally need to create a booming economy like the mid to late 90's in order to credibly perpetuate their nonsense.
Okay, let me ask you this: why wouldn't they have tried to shape the narrative earlier and not at the moment when it started to become a problem for their image? Modern left-wing "cancel culture" has been around for at least seven years, but they're only writing articles now, when people are increasingly starting to notice. If they wanted to shape a narrative prospectively, they would've started churning out articles years ago and not when people are starting to notice and call them out for their shittiness.
And again, as I've repeated like five times already, the insidiousness and pervasive nature of the modern left will make swinging the pendulum back take even longer because they've proliferated so much, but that doesn't mean the swing back won't happen.

People are way too scared of China. Not that I'm saying they're not assholes because they totally are, just that they're a massive paper tiger that has way to many external and internal problems to replace America as the global hegemon. The same could be said about Russia.

There are plenty of grifters on the left too. I remember Trump's Twitter had the same 6 or so accounts constantly shitting on him on every single tweet he made. Brooklyn Dad and some Asian doctor were the ones I remember.

I hope you're right, because if there's one thing I doom on it's the rise of China. It might be all fake paper tiger bullshit but it's pretty hard to deny especially in the last year or so that China only looks stronger and stronger while America is reeling. Like we obviously know Chinese coof numbers are bullshit for example but the important part is they didn't paralyze their country with continuing retarded lockdowns that they're only just starting to get out of now. It might end up like the Soviet Union looking powerful and enduring next to the US in chaos and seemingly on the verge of collapse from the late 60s through the 70s but I don't want to get complacent about it. Especially when China has much more influence in the US than the Soviets ever did.

Russiaphobia was total nonsense (and a contributing red pill) for two reasons:
1. The Left were the ones whining about McCarthyism the loudest. Arthur Miller's The Crucible, anyone?
2. By definition, former-Soviet states are second world powers. Anyone who glances at Russia honestly can see that they are a gas station with the GDP of Italy, has stagnant population growth, and has to tard-wrangle Chechnyan Islamists.
Russiagate came from Clinton who held a grudge over the failure of the Russian Reset, where when she offered to reset relations, she held a button that actually meant overload. Obama was no fan of them either when they suddenly annexed Crimea and he couldn't do shit about it. Russia's aims are pretty much pragmatic concerns over securing Moscow and trying to maintain whatever relationships they have over the few allies they have left.
China is different. They are expanding into Africa to get the rare earth minerals necessary to make the smartphones that Silicon Valley sells to the world and shoulder the ecological burdens manufacturing entails. Also, their businessmen are banging African chicks, so if they don't mind half-breeds, it helps alleviate their fucked-up demographics. Their students, upon coming into the US for technical training, observe SJWs in their native habitat. They don't even have to be committing corporate espionage to gain contempt for Diversity & Inclusion. Whether COVID was a fumble or intentional low-yield bioterror attack doesn't matter as it completely destabilized major sections of the US economy and the psychology of the Boomers. Part of how the Soviet Union fell apart was they thought Reagan was building the Star Wars program and tried to compete. China looks at us and see Biden calling their enslavement of the Uyghurs as "a cultural difference." The US was able to present strength in the 80s. I can't say we can present strength now. If anything, the US's fetishization of weakness is now endemic to our culture.
