    Can someone who still subjects theirself to Twitter go demand an explanation from the libs as to why it’s okay for The Sitting President to offer to work side-by-side with The Wannabe Fascist Dictator Who Will Burn Democracy to Ashes if Given a Second Term?

    I want to see some cognitive dissonance melt some frontal lobes but not so much that I want to join the torment nexus.

      r politics had one link on new. People just complained about the headline being changed, which evidently means you can fully dismiss the article. That sub literally makes me want to vomit.

      The narrative I’ve been seeing is that it’s actually a setup because Biden knows Trump will decline to “work together,” thus exposing the hypocrisy of the Republican party and showing the hogs that the Democrats are the ones who really want to do fascist border shit, which is now good actually (as long as Biden does it). Just a Matryoshka nesting doll of delusional stupidity.

        It’s kind of wild how this relentless focus on hypocrisy has resulted in democratic supporters tricking themselves into cheerful nihilism. Like cool, the Republicans were just pretending to kick a puppy for the shock value but you’re going to actually go through with it, and that demonstration of commitment makes you better? We’re surrounded by psychopaths.

    Is this more “exposing republican hypocrisy by doing republican stuff” bullshit? Because it seems like a dangerous line to walk even if you aren’t a grab bag of incompetent social climbers like the democrats.

    Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
    With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
    Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
    A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
    Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
    Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
    Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
    The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

    “Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
    With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
    Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
    The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
    Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
    I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

    liberty-weeping but unironically
