And at what point does that become a self-fulfilling prophecy? The longer minorities in this country are treated as second-class citizens, the more likely it becomes for them to treat whites the exact same way when they're the minority.

Given that Trump is from New York, you could also say the same about him.

At least now you can get the drop on him. He won't hear you coming!

Yes they do, but instead of IRL supporters they have the ones controlling the media. Musk, Murdoch, Zuckerberg, et al.

The requirements of deep sea submersibles and spacecraft are quite similar.

Anybody who wants to stop Trump should at least be considered a temporary ally.

Imaging being in the 21st century, holding one of those signs, and thinking you're the good guys.

The number to reach is 270 EC votes. However, it is very possible to reach that number while not winning the popular vote. That's why certain states (such as PA, GA, AZ) tend to be the "battleground" states as they have enough EC votes to shift the election and usually aren't reliably red or blue.

If I remember correctly, it's theoretically possible to win the Presidency of the US while only winning something like 25% of the popular vote (though in practice, if you're able to win the states to pull something like that off you're also going to be winning the bigger states as well so your victory would look more like Reagan's).

No, he was one of the "mostly peaceful" tourists ~~that were in the Capitol despite it being closed due to COVID precautions and trying to overthrow the government because they lost an election~~.

Mostly peaceful, yessir.

The fact that this "incel" got caught on stream watching gay porn and wasn't immediately purged from the right-wing movement says a lot about how seriously the right takes their values.

Man, these drag queens are getting out of control!

...what do you mean, "Not a drag queen"?

My brother in Christ you've already seen the response to Project 2025, you think policy will be a better angle of attack?

Every single vote Trump ever got (that wasn't from the oligarchy) was based on "vibes" and "energy" instead of policy. So yeah, I'd say that worries them a great deal.

And that's good for America.
