    Dude, white Republicans must be fucking depressed. Like, the bigotry is still their, it’s clearly the only thing left fueling them. But God damn. Having to cope with the gas prices, the economic failures, a datacenter poisoning your lungs and ears. Listening to your president talk about his ballroom and golf course renovations on social media all day.

    Can we get some “it’ll be ok white people” ads? That’s what Paxton is projecting right now. His entire voter base is too depressed to get off the couch. These red state Republicans never have had to actually try to win an election.

    There there Pax. It’ll be ok. We just need some DEI for old white rascist shitbags.

      A lot of them still just don’t give a fuck if the most they achieve is “making liberals cry again”.

      They are so fucking broken-brained.

        The cult. Yes. But the cult is shrinking and it’s leader will be dead in the next 5, maybe 10ish, years if we’re unlucky.

        The cult henchman (politicians) do care and are having a hard time right now dealing with the backlash. Complaining about trans girls in sports doesn’t really work when people can’t afford gas to drive to their job.

        The 30% cult is still filled with the most out of touch and uneducated Americans. They are still reachable in a way, at least their children and next generation with the right education. But there is at least 15-20% that are just old, privileged, and upset that their children won’t talk to them. And that problem will solve itself with time.

          Is the cult shrinking, though? If you look at Nixon’s support even as he resigned…I have my doubts.

          They may be a bit directionless for a bit and “go teabagger” again for a while after he’s gone. But that’s just until they can find the next awful asshole to rally around.

            Nixon wasn’t a cult. There isn’t a real comparison in past presidents on approval ratings. Cults don’t usually shrink slowly. They have splits that occur. It’s in a hardened defensive state right now. They moved to private land and built a fenced off hideout. Breaking out takes a larger event. But the complaints are open secrets. The sewage is backed up. The crops aren’t growing. People are getting sick. But everyone is too deep and too far in to say anything. We have to wait til the leader asks everyone to drink the Koolaid.

        The irony of the Zionist comedian that’s used her “racial identity” to justify genocide being “white” in this. The continuous confirmation that “white” is a made up social construct that is either used to signal to hate for an outgroup; or in her case, remove it as an identity when it’s convenient to use her Jewish “racial identity” as a shield for an emotional support apartheid state.

        Also, relevant louis ck from before that video was made; that was basically what the video you linked was ripping off. Kind of blatantly.

        https://youtu.be/7AbxHo9ybD0

        Still, appreciate the sharing. Not directed at you. But, fuck Sarah Silverman. And Louis CK is also a weird sex pest.

        Though both the video and his standup are pointing to white privilege and racial constructs as comedy. So both are good in a vacuum.
