US Joe Biden News Megathread - The Other Biden Derangement Syndrome Thread (with a side order of Fauci Derangement Syndrome)

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?

Off topic but earlier you discounted the importance of Twitter as an influence on people. Why does the democrat party seemingly tailor their policies to what is most popular on Twitter that day if Twitter isn't that important?

Because most of them use it and it is such a reliable echo chamber they get high on their own farts. No, seriously. That is legit the reason. I have peers working for them that have been trying for years now to get them to stop doing it to no avail.

At this point there are enough people still trapped there that literally millions of Americans will be no more than 2 to 3 steps removed from someone who was actually fucking there, either as part of the military side of the evac or a citizen living in Afgahnistan. People are morons, but they'll still believe their wife's cousin over a fucking news anchor.

To explain one of the knock-on effects of importance for keeping this clusterfuck going: Whenever a large group of the general populace sit up and take notice, a section of them will never sit back down. Its newly minted ideological partisans, always in opposition to the group that caused them to take notice. This is very important when you pair it with the fact the overwhelming majority of people get their news through word-of-mouth.

It creates a feedback loop that can keep this shit going for years. Someone takes notice, has the revelation his once cozy world is actually -fucked-, and now they cannot go back to how they were. This person will now listen to everything they can, voraciously eating up information, and then -spreading that information- to those in his social circle. They become lotus points of information, spreading out from them and far more able to start the rippling word-of-mouth. This wakes up more people, and it just becomes a perpetuating cycle both keeping the issue going and making more hardened opposition to whatever got the populace's attention.

Right, a few things:
1: Life is NOT stable. Prices are increasing, there's a rent clusterfuck approaching, the country is deeply riven by division. The normies are noticing things are getting more expensive.
2: Media does not distract as well as you think. Circuses only work to lull the populace into a sense of security. Anything which makes them Take Notice pops that, and as a preventative circus can do jack and shit to STOP a problem.
3: Apathy is what prevents people from Taking Notice, it again is a preventative not a cure.
4: Come on, we have covered this you and I. The Flag Wavers voted Trump and already hate Biden. They are not going to suddenly forgive a massive clusterfuck any more than Labour would forgive Tories on the queens birthday.
5: Kamala is hated by the other three factions in the cabal... and those factions are the ones the media is loyal to.
6: Dems already blew their load. They blew every load they had.
7: You describe people of every day and age. And just like every age before us, if those people are roused from their pleasant obliviousness they get pissed and -stay- pissed until whatever roused them dies.

Again, not picking you apart, I'm just going to place my 'lack-of-faith-in-humanity' tracing paper over your experience and draw some lines, listed for ease, not reddit arrogance.

1. Inflation is going up, and here's why that's a good thing. "Here's why that's a good thing" is a meme for a reason
2. January 6th, 2 (3?) impeachments, russian piss tapes, grab em by the pussy, Hillary Emails, Podesta is a pedo, hunters laptop, foreign policy ignored during the debates, soft-ball questions to Biden...
3. Fair enough
4. You're right, we've done that bit.
5. The enemy of my enemy must be my friend. Does Joe have more enemies than Kamala has friends
6. I don't believe they have, but i AM a conspiracy theorist retard, and would not put a false-flag (at worst) or over-highlighting a natural problem (at best) to recharge their balls, ready to blow more loads.
7. I can't think of a time in my life time that this has occurred in the west, physically or metaphorically. The closest example would be Saville as a scapegoat? Maybe?

No, Fox news will not carry Biden's water for him. And two, who honestly cares about terrorism (at least for the time being)? There hasn't been a major terrorist attack around the globe in quite some time never mind in the United States. Everyone is fixated on COVID.

Not to play devils advocate, but im totally going to play devils advocate. Fox news??!?! those alt-right Trump supporters?

As for your previous arguments regarding what essentially the people will do regarding the current administration, I don't agree that people will just do nothing at least in the long run. For the time being there's going to be a lot of foot dragging sure, but I can't see this situation simply vanishing into thin air as if nothing happened not unless both Republicans and our supposed foreign allies want this to disappear. The only actual question is, will this be damning enough for people to not support the Left in 2022. I say yes though for additional reasons.

The left won't be supported in 2022 no matter what, that isn't the long-term or big picture game. 2022 goes to repubs, repubs win in 2024, dems win in 2028, ready to roll out the great reset. I honestly believe this.

The administration doesn't have a monopoly on information, I think that's what you are fundamentally not grasping. Only ~28% of the U.S. trusts the media, and that is -overwhelmingly- Democrats. And not just Democrats, but the hardened core of democrats.

Only 28% of America trust the media, according to the media? I won't disagree though, you're closer to the numbers than I am.

That leaves ~70% who don't give two fucks about the media. That is a LOT of the center who is not getting their news just out of the headlines. Instead, it's filtered to them through other people. And unlike the hardened core of either side, they aren't going to just reject one side of the narrative. Normally, they just ignore both sides, but when their attention is gained they instead listen to both and usually gravitate towards whichever one pisses them off the most because that's the side presented to them most fervently.

So let me set the exact order of events that occurs here. The Biden Admin hits the 31st and fully pulls out. He claims everyone who wanted out is out, nobody left, a perfect job. Then, inevitably because this is a giant clusterfuck, people who aren't complete fucking NPCs find out this isn't true. They mention it, begin to spread it among their circles. Aaaand right there done. Because word-of-mouth is how 70% of people get their trusted news. And since they were already Interested, that is going to spread like -wildfire-.

I would give this a rainbow, but I'm a pessimist so a rainbow may be a little too much. You have a lot of faith in the people, and that's good and I hope that faith pays off, for both of us. I just can't get on board the idea that the same braindead wingnuts who have believe some right old horse shit, would now not believe in blatant horse-shit. Again, COVID, how many times did we see "X isn't going to happen, it's a conspiracy theory" only for X to happen? And every time, and even now, people are believing the same old horse shit. Maybe politically motivated people are more open-minded?

Good fucking luck convincing every single center person that it's a "Qanon, Trump supporting, Alt-right Nazi, Anti-vaxx conspiracy [theory]" when it's already wild in the population. That kind of mind terminating bullshit only works when the populace doesn't care. We crossed that bridge already, they care.

You're closer to the ground than I am on this topic and a lot more experienced/knowledgeable in general. I'll wait in anticipation to see what happens.

A hundred years ago a woman journalist actually had herself committed to an asylum then wrote a book on the deplorable conditions within the asylum, which got a lot of attention on those institutions. Similarly, Geraldo Rivera (of all people) and Co. went inside Willowbrook and got that shit shut down. They got in using a stolen key.

Can we get more of that stuff, please? Watch this to hear Geraldo say "retarded."

We have a "belt" of sorts that runs along the lower center of the state, side to side, that goes blue consistently plus one county that always does because Birmingham (biggest city) and its metro area. The belt also encompasses Montgomery, the capital. So big shockers there.

And it can’t be stated enough, Roy Moore is in fact a proper dipshit.

I don't have faith in people. People suck and are fucking sheep. What I have is a pretty encyclopedic knowledge of group psychology, historical trends, a significant batch of raw data, and the accumulated work of hundreds of people more intelligent than I to lean on.

I don't have faith in humanity, I have an understanding of humanity.

To round this off then, because i gotta westy, what are your predictions for the near-term (the next seven days) regarding the Afghan pull out and Biden's popularity/approach?

Thanks for the back-n-forth, always a pleasure.

 

[TaterFarmer]

What has really been bugging me is the rumours that the G7 meeting only took 12 minutes.

That is a really short time for a meeting of 7 leaders, unless there is nothing to talk about and there is already consensus on everything. I find it unlikely that there was nothing to talk about since at least 5 of the countries are openly worried about having citizens left behind enemy lines.

This can surely not help diplomatic relations between US and the other G7 members.

I'm guessing it was 10 min waiting for Biden to finally get on the line, then they said they wanted an extension, and he said "Nope, not gonna happen. C'mon man." And they all were all accidentally disconnected by the totz smert diversity tech team.

That's... harder to answer. I do less well with the day by day than the larger picture. It depends on how badly the Admin fucks up. It's not technically impossible they pull it off, but anyone who seriously suggests they will deserve the biggest fucking rainbow in the world. More likely, they fuck something up royally and even his hardened support starts peeling off,.

Agree. They are so addicted to Twitter that they don't realize 90% of the population isn't on Twitter and 95% isn't active on Twitter.

Even in that subpopulation of those that are active on Twitter, 10% of the users make 80% of the Tweets.

Twitter Is Not America

A new Pew study finds a gulf between the general population and Twitter users.

www.theatlantic.com

But Pew’s methodology was able to capture another layer of distortion: The Twitter of the platform’s fanatics is very different from the norm. In other words, Media Twitter is not Median Twitter.

First, Pew split up the Twitter users it surveyed into two groups: the top 10 percent most active users and the bottom 90 percent. Among that less-active group, the median user had tweeted twice total and had 19 followers. Most had never tweeted about politics, not even about Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey’s meeting with Donald Trump.

Then there were the top 10 percent most active users. This group was remarkably different; its members tweeted a median of 138 times a month, and 81 percent used Twitter more than once a day. These Twitter power users were much more likely to be women: 65 percent versus 48 percent for the less-active group. They were also more likely to tweet about politics, though there were not huge attitudinal differences between heavy and light users.

Mark Millar Allegedly Told “95% Of The Comic-Book Audience Is Not On Twitter”, Says Statistic "Must Be Mind Blowing For The Company Marketing Departments"

Mark Millar claims he was told by an insider connected to one of the 'Big Two' that “95% of the comic-book audience is not on Twitter”.

boundingintocomics.com

Veteran comic book writer Mark Millar has claimed that he was recently informed by a marketing expert connected to one of the ‘Big Two’ publishers that “95% of the comic-book audience is not on Twitter,” a revelation which he believes “must be mind-blowing for the company marketing departments”.

Millar revealed this supposed statistic on May 28th, tweeting from his personal Twitter account, “Here’s an amazing stat I heard yesterday: Only 10% of comic buyers have a Twitter account & only half of those accounts are actually active.”

Now this, this is bigger picture stuff. Why would she be reaching out to Republicans if she wanted the office? She knows she can't get in through the electoral process.


Well, it does ingratiate her to the Establishment faction of the Cabal, the same one currently nominally supporting Jill. Keep eyes on this, lets see what group she might try to woo next

Probably not her choice, actually. This won't play with anyone on the voter base, so it's not done for electoral optics. This smells like a kissing of the ring to me. Not confirmed, but my first blush is that it's meant to be her ending her war with the Cabal to unite against Jill.

No, McCain was not popular even among the RINOs. Powerful, but not popular, and active poison to the electoral populace. Also Satan Incarnate to the left.

Edit: unless you mean she intends to use it as a springboard for other things, rather than appealing to McCain's popularity.

What "other things" would that be though? Just passifying the kabal as you said?

Right, keep in mind that this is speculation at this point as the evidence to solidify it is not really here yet. But I would suspect it's for 25thing Joe. If Jill remains in power, Kamala is fucked. This forces her hand, requiring her to stab Biden rather than merely prepare to. It's now him or her, and Kamala is not going to sit down and just -let- it be her. The first step for that is to ensure she has the support of the Cabal.

You're just jealous. Hillary is the only woman I know that can rock a spare tire like it's the Michelin man.

Some women are quite attractive if they're chubby, especially if their extra bulk manifests in the thighs, bust, rear, and yes, even belly. But that delicate balance hinges on that woman still having the general shape of a voluptuous woman, and if that woman has a face like Palpatine crossed with the Crypt Keeper, then that's a no-go from me.
