I guess he could've used "trumpery"... but it looks like it's already been taken. Although this definition may also apply in its pejorative sense:

Famine
If someone was posting truly reprehensible opinions - let's say they think people with disabilities belong in zoos to be rented out to prisons to satisfy the urges of rapists - and wouldn't stop doing so, then I'd want to shuffle them somewhere else (per the FAQ about "unusual rules").

That's such a specific phrase, I'm kind of scared it's a reference to someone specifically saying this. Please tell me it isn't :scared:
 
If there's one thing that Marjorie Taylor Greene was right about, it's this. We are fundamentally a nation aching for a divorce with our polar opposites who reside in this country. There's really no point in saying much less besides telling them to eff off at this point. We're well past the point of debates, fact-checking, and come-to-Jesus moments driven by cognitive dissonance. It really is two different worlds. The only course of action would be something that goes even farther in scope than Reconstruction.

There's literally a Trump supporter out there who had his wife held by ICE in cruel conditions needlessly for like 50 days and he STILL supports Trump and says his vote was fine. Trump could literally kidnap one of his own supporter's wife for weeks at a time, and they would be fine with it. The only conviction they have is to praise Trump at all times. That is it- a Pavlovian reaction, really. No matter what evidence, arguments, or obvious cruelties felt even personally they will praise Trump. Just look at any interview with any Trumper when they are talking about their farm going belly up or Grandma getting her social security frozen out of nowhere or whatever, due to Trump. They have to hedge every lived experience with "Well I still like the guy, not being political, he's doing what needs to be done" or "what about Joe Biden" even as their lives crash down around them.

Completely lost. Its basically that new modern acceptance that sometimes its just better to cut people off for your own sanity. It's not wholly detrimental either that Gen Z is by far the most estranged from their parents/family out any other generation, largely out of the Zoomer's own volition. It's undeniable that much of this trend emanates from an inability to morally reconcile with those openly supporting fascism, and the erasure of their own rights if part of the LGBT+ community. The three choices for us now are to argue with them indefinitely about basic reality, cut them off, or grey stone them and just lie constantly that you have no opinions or convictions about anything whenever they attempt to goad you into an argument. Trump should be viewed less as an extraordinary or iconoclast, and instead a representation of a depressingly high number of Americans: willfully ignorant, rude, self-serving, unempathetic, unprincipled, irrational, resentful, vindictive

If we get out of this mess that is the Trump administration, or if we break apart to form new nations, then we need a system of actual checks and balances. Political parties, and their associated incumbency-protection racket, are banned. Citizens United overturned explicitly from the outset and replaced by publicly-funded elections with proportional representation and a ranked-choice ballot system. The ability for two wings of government to just send marshals and expel, or even arrest rogue judges, senators, congresspeople, and presidents. We need laws where those in government overstepping their limits automatically land them in court. Coming to electoral power as an opponent to democracy itself should be treated as nothing less than treason.

It shouldn't be in the slightest bit surprising that Republicans have given up the legislative branch completely and are trying to make the judicial branch as weak and feckless as possible. Republicans already are default lazy politicians due to their own ideological framework. Their entire premise is that government doesn't work, because it cannot work. So obviously any Republican who runs for government office also has no intent on working or governance.

Honestly, if we could make all southern states into a new country "Trumpland" and send all the other MAGAts there, if they want, I'm sure everyone will be happy, except maybe Trumplandians not for long, once their money runs out cause they are pretty much useless.

In this scenario the North would be only too happy to help them.

Some of us just hate the crummy northern weather and home prices that much. That, and the barbecue is far better.

Trump is improving the lives of the average American by reducing the tariff impact on the buyers of Rolls Royces, Bentleys and Jaguars.

And he's BOASTING about it

I don't even have any Rolls Royces or Bentleys in GT7, do you?

This smells like the starting of a new civil war and as a Canadian, I'm all for it!

You don't understand. That money saved not paying a tariff fee on a $400,000 car will surely trickle down to the Trumpist and his $45,000/year job.

He is going to have a seizure when he learns about Jaguar's new brand identity.

You can't make this up. MAGA wants the Pope to be "America First".

Am I to assume that Jesus was "America First"?

Maga criticises the first American pope as not 'America First'

Pope Leo XIV has expressed support for immigrants and criticism of JD Vance. Donald Trump's supporters aren't happy.
