"Expanding head syndrome" is a Kennedy specialty...

(Apologies to most of the Kennedy's for that one, I couldn't resist.)

SpaceX needs to be property of the US government. He shouldn't be allowed to control it whatsoever.

Elon probably picked up old timey hat making during one of his ketamine binges or something.

It was a question, trying to understand what the hell you're trying to say. Don't really think it's fair to call that "wildly mischaracterized" but you do you.

Happy to move on. You should really work on communicating your thoughts though. You're not making any sense and wasting a bunch of people's time who are trying to engage with you in good faith, and then getting combative when it's pointed out. We can't see eye to eye while you're facing the other direction.

Fair enough on the terminology.

Everyone is aware of the GQP’s obsession with drag queens/trans folks/bathrooms/etc. You can attack this obsession with this photo.

So attacking their obsession is okay, but taking it one step further and explaining that they're not only obsessed but hypocritical somehow makes it out of bounds?

I am truly trying to understand your point, and I think others have too, but it simply isn't there. Can you just specifically say what you would like to see written when communicating this information to someone? What specifically do you want said about JD Vance when someone posts this photo? I think that might help.

I think there's just a disagreement with your core premise.

There is a subset of people that are not engaged and unaware of Vance's legislative history or public statements regarding drag. Those people will generally not engage with long thoughtful nuanced discourse. Those are the people that pointing out hypocrisy speaks to. An article or long post just doesn't work. A quick meme does. It's a simple cognitive shortcut to get them engaged, and it's effective. Yes, I get a bit of masturbatory joy when I see that stuff, but it shouldn't be meant for me. This stuff is meant to go "viral" so it gets in front of the non-engaged eyeballs.

We need to use every single goddamn tool in the toolbox we have to engage people and get them to turn out. All of it. Including pointing out hypocrisy.

I would be starting from Reagan. I think Biden has done a better job than Obama.

Joe Biden is the best president of my lifetime. He showed a lot of strength here.

Some of the decisions on this film are just....yeesh. I don't understand why Hollywood just won't let someone who actually likes the material do this shit. You cannot just be a good director to adapt something, you have to actually care about and understand the source material. That's completely missing from video game movies 95% of the time.

The dude had his shit on WALMART shelves. He literally could've just coasted for the rest of his life and make a crazy amount of money on those shitty pillows. He had to work harder to crash this thing than he would've to just maintain the cash cow. Moron.
