The MAGA ethic celebrates dehumanization. It is lawless, crude, and combative. Its entire ecosystem"social media, podcasts, and talk radio"is committed to spreading lies and conspiracy theories, to stoking rage and resentment. The disciples of the MAGA movement define themselves by what they hate much more than by what they love. They pursue culture wars with revolutionary zeal even as they vandalize our civic culture.

Yup. That's our maga maroons.

All part of the Plan.

Traumatize workers and take away funding and the financial ability to resist.

"We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected," Vought said in a video revealed by ProPublica and the research group Documented in October. "When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work, because they are increasingly viewed as the villains. We want their funding to be shut down ... We want to put them in trauma."

Who the hell even talks like that?

Re 33

Reminds me of the day I "discovered" Saturn.

I had just bought a Celestron and set it up on the deck to see what I could see. I looked at the bright stars but they were all just dots. Then I discovered Saturn! It made me wonder what it must have been like for the Galileo to be the first human to ever see something like that. That musta been one hell of a dopamine hit.

When I was younger I should have eaten more plastics apparently.

Whenever I got back home from extended duty abroad all I had to do was look at my wife and she'd get pregnant.

It took five kids and a nearly empty bank account before I finally figured the problem and "fixed" it.

In my previous life I have crossed airport runways hundreds of times. Sometimes with an air traffic controllers guidance and sometimes without.

There is one thing always seems to be left out of this discussion.

The driver crossing the runways always has the final say and responsibility. You must look both ways very carefully but especially the approach to see for yourself if anything is approaching the runway before it's safe to cross.

To cross the runway, the vehicle needed both the REL and Clearance from a controller.

The Jerk of all trades. And expert at none.

Thank the Gods we got rid of all that DEI crap.

Are we sure that a black person or woman wasn't involved?

Because that would explain a lot.

To a maga maroon.

Fetterman suffered a traumatic brain injury and it turned him into a MAGA.

Makes sense actually.

That being said, I have stated this over and over again regarding California. It has the highest income inequality in the US.

That being said?

That being your latest hateful LIE commie Spyboy. I have stayed over and over that you are a liar. Here's just more proof.

New York has the highest income equality.

California is ranked third.

States with Highest Income Inequality (Gini Index)

New York: Frequently cited as having the highest income inequality in the U.S..

Connecticut: High inequality driven by a massive gap between top earners and the rest of the population.

California: High concentration of extreme wealth, with New York and California together holding nearly one-third of households with $30 + million in assets.

Louisiana: Features significant economic disparity.
Washington,

D.C.: While not a state, it ranks among the top in income inequality

we the consumers are willingly purchasing products and services provided by those wealthy, who are also employing people to produce those, so we are who are making those individuals wealthy.

That's a pretty simplistic view of the world. And not very accurate.

Many "consumers" have no choice. They have children. They have no choice but to "consume". If you cannot live independently wealthy outside of society then you will be a "consumer".

And NO one ever got rich working in an Amazon warehouse.

And when the robots arrive for duty the wage slave laborers will not even have a wage slave job.

"mass mail-in ballots [COVID 'era']as seven Blue States do as those are subject to fraud."

Yet said fraud is extremely rare. How do you explain that? You cannot.

As for "biden received millions more votes than the very popular obama, and then four years later, about 20 millions of those 'voters' seems t have evaporated"

Occam's razor They stayed home.

The 2020 election saw the highest turnout in 120 years, with roughly 66.7% of eligible citizens voting, driven by intense interest in the election and the high-stakes political environment.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many states expanded access to early and mail-in voting, which historically increases voter participation, particularly among certain demographics.

Since 2008, the U.S. population increased from roughly 304 million to over 330 million by 2020, leading to a larger pool of potential voters.

Too bad for you. Mail in voting will continue. You will just have to make sure you mail it in early this year. Maybe take a Tylenol when you try to think about it.
