Artist, musical performer, and former derby skater from the Midwest.

I'm single, childless, and married to freedom and adventure.

ACAB, Anti-War, and I hate Democrats, Republicans, and billionaires. (Yes, even your favorite billionaire: the pop star, the philanthropost, the legendary athlete, or the soft-spoken investment guru who cosplays as middle class.) With each passing day I get a little closer to hating everyone.

Also, I refuse to use Donald's last name out of hatred for the man and his brand, FYI.

  • And your unsubstantiated claims of Trumpers learning doesn’t hold water.

    Maybe read the whole thread.

    There is a whole-ass election to substantiate my point of view.

    Your evidence is "but my feelings."

    Have a nice New Years.

  • Our farmers are feeling the heat from the economic situation.

    This is why I am, in part, optimistic about Donald losing control of Congress. Between his decision to target legal immigrants (rather than criminal) and his decision to essentially bankrupt American farmers, I expect a reckoning. The shitty thing is that, even if we hand Democrats power, it's unlikely they'll do anything meaningful with it. It may be significantly beneficial for the Mamdanis of the country to have an actual check against Donald's power that, at least performatively, has to support the changes he's trying to make. (Assuming he tries to do what he promised.)

    You can only alienate your coalition so much before you imperil your own power. Just ask Democrats after their constituents told them they wanted affordability and to stop sending WMD's to a genocide.

  • It could happen.

    They effectively legalized gerrymandering here in Missouri, but the bigger problem is that the Democratic Party here is 100% Schumer/Clinton-esque centrists, which appeal to no one.

    We are the cautionary tale against centrism. In 2024 Republicans won every major race. In that same election Missouri voters approved amendments legalizing abortion, mandating a $15 minimum wage, and requiring paid sick leave. If Democrats had run a Mamdani Democrat here, they'd have won big. Instead they ran the same milquetoast, billionaire-loving bedwetters that they always do.

    That unique election happening here in deep-red Missouri is why I'm not willing to listen when people just spout prejudices against red states. In 2024 I think it was far more about how much people hated Democrats (and rightly so, after ignoring the affordability crisis) than how much they liked Republicans.

  • Anyone telling you trump supporters are changing their minds are lying to you

    I'm being objective. You can't look at at an election where every single Donald district flipped blue and then argue that minds didn't change. That's just unreasonable.

  • I think it's bad strategy that Donald has embraced the Biden/Harris playbook and just decided to outright ignore the affordability crisis.

    Red, Blue, doesn't matter. I don't think the cultist mentality of some will be enough to carry MAGA to victory in 2026 because you can't propagandize around millions being unable to afford their rent and put food on the dinner table, as Biden/Harris learned in 2024. Back then, Donald was the candidate of change. This time around, he and the people he endorses will be the candidates of starvation.

  • In many of those cases though voter turnout was down

    That's arguably what lost Democrats the election in 2024, owing to their decision to ignore the affordability crisis. Now that Donald has embraced the Biden playbook on affordability and just decided to ignore it or attempt to propagandize around it, I think the 2026 election is going to be a bloodbath for MAGA.

    You can't tell someone who does their own shopping, and finds every week that their $100 only buys them half as much, that the stock market being at all time highs means the economy is good.

  • those dipshits will vote red for the rest of their lives and nothing can change it

    People keep saying this (or things like it), even after we just watched the 2025 mid-terms where across the board districts flipped that went for Donald in 2024.

    I dunno, man. I think this is evidence that your ingrained prejudices might be wrong, but we'll see.

  • My mom says that people who don't have "value" don't deserve to live and that "depression" is just an excuse for laziness. What's is your rebuttal for it?

  • I'd tell them to shut the fuck up and not to speak that way about people in my presence.

    My parents try to bait me into silly and shitty discussions like this, usually prompted by some conservative bullshit they saw on their preferred news program, and I just very simply say: "We can't discuss this because it is going to make me hate you." That's been enough to put an end to it for me.
