This country is like a guy who had a good life, got bored, dated a third class hooker & part time Highway stripper, got hooked on smack, nearly lost everything, dropped the hooker-stripper, got clean, nearly got back to where he was, had an uneventful if boring 4 years, then went back to the hooker. Good luck to us all.

Yeah. Things were great under Biden.  Saints is a poor historian.  Very poor. 

[Red White and Blue 122]

Trump always campaigns on solving every problem and making everything a million times better Day 1!

Then he gets into office and things are no better or worse than any other time, only with more clown show buffoonery and corruption.

MAGA?

I cannot answer the first part, as the heart is not among the parts I'm most interested in. As for the 2nd part: of course! whatamI, the Secretary of Health and Human Services? Standards are important, brother!

Seems like a good time to post this again:

Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology characterized by dictatorial power, centralized autocracy, and the forcible suppression of opposition. It subordinates individual interests to the perceived needs of the nation or race, often utilizing militarism, propaganda, and the scapegoating of perceived enemies. 

Key tenets and characteristics of fascism include:

• Militarism and Violence: The military is glorified, and violence is accepted—even celebrated—as a means to strengthen the nation and achieve goals.

• Suppression of Dissent and Media Control: Dissent is treated as treason, with strict control over mass media to propagate the state's ideology and undermine opposing viewpoints.

• Anti-Intellectualism and Cult of Tradition: Fascism tends to hold contempt for academic freedom, intellectualism, and the arts, preferring to promote propaganda.

• Social and Economic Regimentation: The state often oversees economic and social life, protecting corporate power while suppressing labor unions.

• Obsession with Security and Scapegoating: Fear is used to unify the in-group by creating an obsession with national security and identifying specific groups as enemies to be blamed for societal problems.

• Rampant Cronyism and Corruption: Fascist regimes are typically marked by close associates of the leader appointing themselves to government positions. 

• Extreme Nationalism and Myth of Rebirth: Fascism often focuses on a national community's perceived decline, advocating for a return to a "glorious" past and prioritizing national unity over individual rights.
• Dictatorial Leadership and One-Party State: Power is centered around a supreme leader or party that claims to embody the national will.

 

These characteristics, often summarized in studies of "Ur-Fascism" or the "14 Characteristics of Fascism," reflect a movement that rejects liberal democracy, pluralism, and equality.

How can anyone deny that this is where Trump is trying to take this country? 

He and the MAGAs are checking every box, and yet they claim that fascism is a left-wing ideology. 

And all the MAGA clowns around here applaud it.

The tide is turning. The MAGA clowns here are sorely out of touch with reality in most cases and are still convinced this is what the country voted for. They believe this because of how and where they consume their information. Fox News has never been a paragon of journalistic virtue, but at least they used to pretend they had some standards. RWM will not show them the whole picture (unless and until it becomes profitable or politically expedient to do so).

They're staring at this years midterms through a keyhole. They ignore and deny the polling and the victories piling up for Democrats.

Trump can see it, though, which is why he keeps pushing the baloney election lies that MAGAs lick up and wanting to nationalize elections and put them in Republican hands.

I don't want either party to have that kind of control. I want balance and compromise.

It is clear that MAGAs want their way or the highway, and if we can actually hold elections in November, it'll be hilarious see watch them cry, blame, flail and whip up conspiracy theories so they don't have to accept reality.

You're taking the radical, extremist elements and condemning the entire Democratic party, but hypercatastrophize is what you and your MAGA ilk always do.

Ohhhh…. oh no, are we lumping you all into the same boat.? Gosh, I feel like you guys might’ve done that a few times somewhere along the line. I don’t know maybe calling us all Nazis, garbage, the Gestapo, deplorable, we all supported J6, fascist. Should I go on?

Bad Bunny? By all means tell me where I was wrong? Yes politics definitely plays a part and who gets selected. If you think they just happened to in a liberal state in a liberal city with a liberal music label run by a liberal just happened to choose a liberal performer? Then you’re a little dumber than I thought.

You were wrong in your framing of the comparison. 

1.) Turning Point created its own halftime show to promote faith and wholesome family values.

2.) Turning Point announces Kid Rock as the headliner.

3.) Kid Rock is anything but an example of wholesome family values.

4.) No one was touting Bad Bunny and the Super Bowl show as a promotion of faith and wholesome family values.

Maybe they'll sign 2 Live Crew as a Turning Point opening act to really shore up the ol' wholesome family values lesson for American families.

Surprisingly, you’ve missed the point. Much like Bad Bunny I’m guessing he’s not singing that song. If you have the free time to dissect every single song, someone does to make sure it’s wholesome enough for you? That’s even more bizarre than you guys usually are. 
 

And your best argument is well we didnt advertise up Bad Bunny being a good person or having good family lyrics so it’s OK. So in you’re terrible analogy, you guys would actually be booking 2live crew.

And when you do, I will be there rocking out to it lol

The actual point is that Turning Point was butthurt about Bad Bunny and decided to create their own outlet for what was supposed to be an example of wholesome family values and faith.

That was its mission. At no point was the Super Bowl's mission to use Bad Bunny to promote wholesome family values. 

So Turning Point announces the very opposite of wholesome family values as its headliner.

Not sure why this point isn't sinking in for you. 

It's like creating a halftime show to celebrate Jews and bringing in Adolph Hitler as the headliner with the KKK as the opening act.

And then you whatabout to Bad Bunny doing the real Super Bowl halftime show.
