Hopefully the rube that gets put in the dictator's position gets the memo. A true believer might get the idea that they're bound by the same religious bullshit as the rest of us.

This makes me think that the religious theocracy will all be a farce. Something meant to punish the lower classes while the upper classes get to live in a parallel liberal society. I mean surely these billionaires realize that in a true christofascist state they'd lose all the opulence and hedonism available to them now. Seems like something they wouldn't want to risk.

I commented this earlier but I would not be surprised if the people behind him are deceptively far away and only look close at this camera angle.

I wouldn't be surprised if those people sitting behind him are deceptively far away.

Oh no, you mean the big "smart" money investors that manage to crash the economy every decade or so and ruin every business they touch are gonna leave generative AI alone? Oh nooo. How will the science progress without Goldman Sachs's guiding hand?

Good riddance.

no one

I swear to god half the country has been talking about it non-stop for almost a decade now. What do you mean no one is talking about?! We're talking about it! Just because we've started talking about a new thing doesn't mean we stopped talking about the old thing!

"NO ONE."

I SWEAR THIS IS GOING TO TURN ME INTO THE JOKER. It makes my brain itch for the whataboutism when we've been talking about it the whole time.

Yeah, we've heard of it. We've been saying it for like a decade now.

How many people who previously hadn't been paying attention to the race tuned in and saw the same deterioration they've watched in their own parents and grandparents?

I'm not sure the DNC is as organized a cabal of closed-door wheeler-and-dealers as you imply.

What we want and what is possible are sadly not the same in this instance.
