Elon Musk I'm completely serious when I say I would rather hammer a nail through my hand than pay $8 a month to get a checkmark that shows I'm paying you to use twitter

Yes, coffee is a thing that is worth spending my disposable income on. Twitter is a thing that is not worth spending my disposable income on. Glad we've established that capitalism exists, thank you.

I don't agree with Josh Barro's conclusions, but on this point, I basically agree. If you're serious about believing the MAGA movement is fascist, you should support a New Deal-esque expansion of the welfare state, and maximalist positions on procedural democracy. Dems did neither.

Along with algorithm-based, self-selected news consumption, large news outlets either support fascism or lack the collective historical literacy to recognize the significance of it. So they aren't informing the public. People aren't mad because they simply aren't seeing it.

this is a sickness

Business genius now admonishing his paying customers

I miss the days when someone could say 'oh come ON, that's not gonna happen' and you could pause and think, 'yeah, they're probably right'

Sounds like a you problem.

But, double oil production and drop the price per barrel to $5 and we'll be happy to talk.

I know, I know, it's Bill Maher, but this is accurate

Lol

Brandon Friedman What you are seeing in places like that is desperation from the conservative population seeing their counties being filled with young, better educated, more diverse, significantly more liberal population, hence the backlash you presented in your quoted tweet.
