These people make up a meaningful percentage of the electorate needed for MAGA Republicans to win elections. Either do what these people voted for or lose elections.

This is only tangentially related to what your saying, but I could not help but notice the "I usually wait for Catturd to weigh in, so I know all the facts."
What the fuck is the deal with that? I really don't get why the Boomer right likes that guy so much, he doesn't really seem to have particularly original takes and seems like a pretty run of the mill MAGA Twitter account. I just find it really odd that the boomers really glommed onto that guy, he really doesn't seem like anything special.
Moving past Catturd, the general sentiment of that particular comment also bothers me. Outsourcing your thinking to somebody else really shouldn't be something people should be doing regularly, let alone being outright proud of it and announcing to the world that is what you are doing. This sort of shit is getting worse too, as of late I've seen an increase in people outsourcing their thinking to LLMs, like they can't actually think up a response without hearing grok's take on it. To be fair, the majority of "grok outsourcers" are actually pajeet engagement harvesters who are just slamming down a low quality reply to suck up some of the ad revenue, but the point still stands - why the hell are people letting influencers and LLMs do their goddamn thinking for them?

Even if they were to storm the white house (and do so in a way that was actually violent unlike J6) There would be a mountain of leftists crawling out of the woodwork to unironically explain why "it's ok when we do it," and a complicit media there to agree with them.

Yeah, even if a mob of leftists, including known CCP agents in full ballistic armor, tried to knock down the fences around the White House, injuring over 180 secret service personnel, destroying a guard house, and setting fire to St. John's Church, the news would probably call Trump "Bunker Boy" for being whisked away to the safe room in the basement and then people might forget it ever happened in about a week.

This is one of the greatest engines of their defeat, being so suffused of Karen energy that they try to force memetic reciprocity

@Counterfeit Obol from this expat who stream about China, the rumor in Chingchongland is that most of the officers in the PLA would run away if they actually got the order to invade Taiwan

Edit: why the horrifying rating? I thought having them edit out the gays in vidya would be a boon?

Because China, and because anime.

There's a sub-section of the gaymers on this forum that hate both, and even though both China and Korea have been making sexy women great again, they still want to complain because.... reasons.

Hire them to edit videogames. Problem solved.

They're doing their editing to hit a target market. If their target market is the US they're just going to make things infinitely more pozzed. I could be mistaken and they're just doing what they do(did) for the love of the game, if that's the case then I'll embrace them with open arms (before whispering 'no homo' of course)

I think on some level the fact that they can't conceive that the economy simply isn't fucking working for other people, and that the stock market taking on a little bit of chaos -- the holy line, peace be upon it's name, that which must ALWAYS go up, did in fact go up yesterday, but only a little, and that's unforgivable -- might cause long term gains that other people could benefit from... new jobs, new factories... is worse.

It's way fucking worse, because the stock market isn't even GDP, and that is already a shit measurement of "how people are doing."

Both of them think that divorce rate plummeting to zero, every family suddenly having a stay-at-home parent, all mortgages being paid off and savings rate increasing to 10%, would be an absolute disaster, because the market would go down, and GDP would go down, housing supply would skyrocket, it'd be a financial shit-show.

But it would be fucking absolutely amazing for the country.

So fuck 'em. The measure is not the rule.

I once heard about one black nerd that was so nerdy that when he was ostracized by his community, he fucked off to a Greek island and proceeded to engage in eugenics to create a race of people known for liking mayo, wearing polo shirts, and being responsible for the vast majority of scientific innovations. He had a big brain and his name is just on the tip of my tounge...all I can recall is that it sounds kinda like Jacob.

He didn’t take disrespect lying down, he went on and made himself some waifus and got revenge by making white people. Praise our father Yakub.

now they're doing gay little AI videos and shitty cartoons about how it won't be $125/hr lazy factory work but instead minimum wage sewing socks and shirts.

They keep saying "THERE ARE MANUFACTURING JOBS RIGHT NOW!" and "WHO'S GOING OT DO IT? YOU? YOU? ARE YOU GOING TO DO IT????"

They can't comprehend: "Yes."

"THERE ARE MORE MANUFACTURING NOW THAN IN THE 80'S JUST AUTOMATED LOLOLOLOLOLOL!"

They really really don't get it.

But people are able to see exactly what these people think of people who just want an honest fucking job they can depend on working for instead of this bullshit now.

They literally can't comprehend a willingness to trade a day's labor for a day's pay.

If I was Trump I’d offer student loan forgiveness for anyone willing to work in factories. 1 year of work = 10k forgiven. Oh? You have 250k in debt for your feminist basket weaving degree? That’ll be 25 years, Karen.

During covid19 TPTB Identified him as one the 6 key spreaders of missinformation. His takes likely saved millions of lives by convincing them to forgo the vaccine man dates.

The MAGA base did give Trump enough Senators and House Reps, but Trump allowed the non-Israel-First candidates to have their elections stolen

It’s not enough if the barest of efforts by the opposition if enough to get rid of it. It’s not enough if the inaction of Trump is enough to fuck it up. Which is what I was saying, MAGA keeps only putting their lot in with Trump. If he decides, for whatever reason, to do nothing or gets screwed with, the rest of your shit gets messed with.

MAGA is currently very weak.
