Israel went fascist when the fascists killed the liberal Prime Minister.

"It's a reality that many posters here believe the GOP is in a constant state of death due to demographics."

The GOP that died with Reagan?
And Max Cleland and Liz Trump and Mike Pence.
Yes, we believe it died.

The one you're in is... different.

The GOP must take some stock in this 'death by demographics' thing or they wouldn't be redistricting up the wazoo, but talking about that part of reality is boring.

"One of the most surprising statistics from the 2024 presidential election was the surge of support President Trump received from Gen Z voters."

As a rule, sure. It's surprising that young people would go conservative.

But what's happening in this moment in history is not that young people are going conservative.

What's happening is the GOP is achieving its Final Form as a fascist party, which appeals to disaffected young men even more than conservatism. The ones Obama talked about who cling to guns and their religion. The Kyle Rittenhouse volunteers.

It's not the same vision of America that Reagan was selling in 1980.

However, was that really saying I think I am better than Laura?

Was it?

Do you think that there are people in Hell, who are just as good as the people in Heaven?

That's the only way you're not saying you're better than Laura.

"The prison camps in the discussion do not care one bit where someone is from"

Yes they do.

"illegal entry into our country" is a crime because of "where someone is from."

You lie to yourself, and you don't even realize you're doing it.

BillJohnson lives for the "please" in Your Papers, Please.
He personifies Neil Young's kinder, gentler machine gun hand.

"Is it so hard to comprehend that folks are indifferent to Venezuelans who are believed to be drug runners having their boats blown up while in the act of running drugs?"

Like they're indifferent to a President that raped kids, that kind of thing?

Works for me.

Here's Clinton's Secretary of State letting the world know what his administration thinks about 500,000 dead Iraqi children

Yet another war started by Republicans, and you find a way blame Democrats for it.

"Very similar to sports fans"

Yeah that's the problem.

People thinking about politics the same way they think about sports.

In sports, nothing really changes in the world, no matter who wins or loses.

Trump being a rapist is insignificant as far as I'm concerned.

I think the vast majority of the American public believes these were drug runners.

Do you think think the vast majority of the American public supports the death penalty for drug runners?

People knew they were voting for these killings when they voted for Trump?

Texas' illegal immigrant problem

What illegal immigrant problem? Trump didn't fix that?
Okay, Charlie Brown. You'll get that football next time!

"increase in the number "record breaking" measurements"

So, are we seeing more new maximums or minimums? That would determine the trend. I wonder why you didn't include that part of your analysis. Maybe you're still researching those numbers and will update us soon.

Republicans never, ever came to the First Amendment defense of the students who were deported for speech that isn't illegal and broke no law.

Republicans only support the First Amendment for Nazis and Russian Propagandists.

Another Zero Information Content statement.

Is this one of those situations?

The cruelty is the point.

Republicans know that showimg miserable brown detainees in their political ads will lure the faithful to the voting booths.

"10-second moment of silence"

Nice racist gesture.

They should have done eight minutes and forty five seconds though.

Because that's a more fitting measure of how racist they are.

#2 Ratio'd is when The Internet publicly scorns a person who turned to Social Media thinking they'd get support.

The ratio is the number of "likes" vs "dislikes" or whatever the options are on that platform to show which "side" you're on.

The closest to getting Ratio'd on the DR is when somebody posts something that was supposed to be "newsworthy" but instead it gets "funny" flags.

"anyone who doesn't always hate Israel supports genocide."

Depends.

Are Israel and Zionism just two words for the same thing?

"Like Ooze Becky Becky Stan Stan?"

"The reality is that it's a very complex problem involving both natural and human made conditions."

^
A statement completely devoid of any information.
What did "nature" do to cause this, create fossil fuels for us to dig up and burn?

The boos are going to be legendary.

But seriously, Donald J. Trump is in the WWE Hall Of Fame.
I don't understand why Trump can't just revel in being a Heel.
Those boos means he's doing it right.

I think he has the same mental problem with it that Chris Benoit had.
And is having the same mental collapse that comes from not being a hero any more.
I think the Iran attack is about people not loving Trump enough and his handlers not being able to hide it from him.

"Anyone who questions a green policy is a climate change denier."
Generally true.

"Opponents are just greedy and corporate-funded."
"They just want to pollute the earth for profit."

Their agenda is to maximize shareholder value.
True.

No way. Obamacare fixed all ills.

TrumpCare was promised to fix all this, ten years ago.
ObamaCare is so amazing that Republicans can't think of anything better.

"but aren't ready to abandon him or his party"

These people aren't swing voters.
They're cult members who don't realize it.
