Texas has rich person freedom though
If he'd been the nominee they'd have had a much better chance of stopping Trump and fascism.
Alas, they don't want to stop Trump or fascism.
Given the Democrats' long history of picking the worst possible candidate at any given time, I'm genuinely confused as to how Harris landed on Waltz instead of Shapiro.
Alas, they don’t want to stop Trump or fascism.
Republicans move the country to the right. Democrats stop the county from rebounding left. A beautiful political ratchet that's been marching us further and further towards full blown fascism since the Nixon Era.
I was legit shocked to learn that Walz championed free school lunches as governor.
It's the kind of no-duh low hanging fruit of traditional liberal populism that Biden Era Democrats can't run away from fast enough.

Tim Walz is fucking killing it.
Texas, you're gonna upset Joe Rogan!
Hey mods, next time you remove a comment for someone calling someone a name, make sure that word isn't the username of the user saying it.
I call people dumbasses so when they see my username of dumbass, they can call me a dumbass in return, I'm the "call someone a dumbass free card".
I think it's funny that I can call Rogan a little bitch (even tho Lemmy doesn't like that word) but calling someone a dumbass for being a dumbass and assuming I'm American in a dumbass way is too far.
Lol you mods are dumbasses.
Joe Rogan is a piece of shit. He became a multi millionaire in California because of the infrastructure and people of California. Then instead of staying and playing taxes to give a bit back to the community, he took his money and ran to Texas.
A classic fuck you I got mine.
That is not why he is a piece of shit.
He is a piece of shit because he is a fascist propagandist. Who cares if he moved money? He enables fascists.
This is why you guys are where you are right now. You have accepted fascism like it's normal.
AMERICANS HAVE NORMALIZED FASCISM BECAUSE OF JOE ROGAN.
Worse yet, people think we're in this mess because "Harris didn't go on Rogan!" and fascism is spreading "because the left doesnt have a Rogan!"
Occam's Razor: Americans are just horrible christofascist monsters amd should be utterly destroyed

I don't want to be a part of a Lemmy where we can't call powerful celebrity fascist propagandists "dumbasses". Maybe this is my green and gold streak showing but honestly, dumbass is so tame.
Nah I called a user a dumbass, but it's always in jest because of my username, I do like that we can call Rogan a little bitch tho, because he is a little bitch.
Ahh gotcha. I do like that we can call Rogan a little bitch
Love your name dumbass

Ban THC but allow alcohol, tobacco, and guns?
BHA-HA-HA-HA!
THC can let people have introspection of themselves and the world around them.
Alcohol is a downer than dumbs you down. And a lot of it can weigh you down for if you need to fight against something.
Tobacco is an upper that you can do with other tasks, and is addictive. Tobacco is heavy in use in red states and the military.
Guns can be aimed at anyone for any reason no matter the justification.
So if you're a government wanting to keep the working class poor, dumb, distracted, and needing to work for their fixes along with rent, food, anything medical, why give them acess to something that could break this?
Maybe I'm thinking too much on this.
I feel so bad for normal decent Texans. Their politicians are among the worst in the world. I can’t think of a single Texas Republican who doesn’t deserve the death penalty.
Texas has been GOP governed for almost thirty years.
The town of Uvalde overwhelmingly voted Republican immediately following their tragedy.
This is what they want. And what they're getting.

The situation tells us that there are very few decent Texans.
Even the most vile Southerners are polite in the company of others.
The situation tells us that there are very few decent Texans.
The state is comically gerrymandered and rigorously disenchrancised. We have majority black counties where a single voting location will have a seven hour queue, sky high incarceration rates intended to disenfranchise huge swaths of the public, and some of the most reactionary public TV and radio combined with the most poorly funded and badly administered education.
This is a controlled population. People will talk shit about Russia and North Korea. But Texas is running right along beside them.
Only question is how long until Texas fully embraces the kind of ethnic cleansing common to Israel.
