Just yesterday while TX was in the midst of a tragedy Trump was droning on about his redecoration of the cabinet meeting room. Kristy Noem was preoccupied on social media with what picture of her on horseback her fans thought should hang in her home state’s state house. These are the people in charge and yes people made an amnesia laden choice of voting for a moron. Now they and all of us are living with the consequences of their foolish choice. My attitude is we have to stop the blame of what democrats did or didn’t do and try to overcome the resentment towards those who made a choice they are now beginning to regret. We’re in a very grave situation on the cusp of becoming a full on autocratic police state. I know people who are sitting around waiting for lawmakers to save us while they go to the gym and take vacations as though it’s any other time. We probably all do. We’re very early into this national nightmare and sadly Americans are slow to wake up from complacent slumber. Those of us who are wide awake are going to have to do the heavy lifting for now while we also work on waking others up. Unfortunately more personal pain is probably going to be required.

Ah, what an incredibly 'progressive' take - rural America deserves your wrath, because "they vote wrong". Example after example of how the last thing progressives care about is working class and poor people. Instead, 'progressive' politics is identity politics, racism, victim blaming, antisemitism and other antisocial positions.

"Cry harder?" - when you keep losing elections because of your loathsome hating on America and Americans take a beat to consider how your attitude drove the majority to vote for Trump and the GOP. I doubt you will.

Oh, my. Someone from the GOP party of "personal responsibility" doesn't like it when their policies backfire in their collective faces. Cry on, MAGA snowflake. 😢 😭 FAFO.

I'll feel for them when they fight back against all this fascist bullshit instead of whining about how hard they stepped on their own dicks.

I have voted Democratic Party in every single election. Time after time Democrats lose elections or get a slim victory, even when Trump's disapproval rating was massive, because of the elections poison ideas and statements of the progressive wing.

One of these is the idea that if progressives are derisive about rural America it'll help in elections, then we all lament why we have no control of the senate or congress. In a nutshell, progressives are retarded and a giant lag on elections success.

Is it really progressives that are “hating on America”? Not the right wing and even MSM whipping up the frenzy that brown people will take away their jobs and houses? That the Big Bullshit Bill will give them a few tax dollars with one hand will stripping away health care with the other? Your propaganda speak doesn’t work with me.

Yes, progressives, like the MAGA right hate America. The problem is that there are far more working class people without college degrees than educated progressive haters indoctrinated on "US Bad". That ends up costing elections time after time.

The Democratic Party needs to muzzle the retarded people in the CPC, and idiotic progressives who hand powerful election slogans to the GOP. This article is terrible.

The fact that you have to use the word “retarded” as a slur against people you disagree with only makes your commentary just as needlessly offensive as what you posted above. Progressives don’t hate America. We just dislike what the MAGA party is doing to it.

I use it against people whose behavior and words are in complete opposition to their stated goals and stated image of themselves. Mocking victims of natural disasters, dead fellow Americans isn’t “kind” or “progressive” or whatever else progressives claim to be. It’s as malicious, viciously hateful as you claim MAGA Americans are, and it’s frankly idiotic if you ever want to win elections and govern. Being a progressive is not unlike being in a cult - complete cluelessness reinforced by a bubble of idiotic self-righteous fellow progressives.

I'm a progressive & I think mocking the Christofascist reactionaries in their own terms is an excellent choice. Whether that makes one a "good person" in the eyes of another is a preposterous concern.

You aren’t aware that you’re in a cult. The problem for the Democratic Party is that hateful brain damaged individuals like yourself cost us elections.

That's probably it. I've been excoriating Republicans since my first election in 1978, but likely the diagnosis of some rando w an oh-so-very-witty pseudonym is actually on the mark. Tell us, since you're getting all ad hominem here -- no, actually, don't -- what evidence distinguishes you from a Russian bot, or a pimple-faced imbecile?

The rule of thumb would be “does he have 16 or less subscribers, no posts and mostly reposts as activity”.

You could compare and contrast our accounts and deduce which of us seems more like a Russian/Iranian troll farm operator’s sock puppet account. What ever made you want to expose yourself?

What do we say to Mareno? That he should cry harder? That he fucked around in 2024 and now he’s finding out?

That's a bingo!

And the owner of Home Depot is a contributor to TACO. I wonder how he feels about losing money because of his policies?

Yeah, pretty sure I'm going to gloat. But also sure they'll find a way to blame Biden.

If you want to bring in voters who chose Trump, you should probably bring that section closer to the top.

And I know mistakes happen- my own writing often has some I can’t believe I missed - but spell the guy’s name right. You have Mareno and Moreno.

Lo, the novel (re-)introduction of predators into an environment with zero forethought given to critical damage said ecosystem def will sustain.

To think that its sole goal is to give viewers at home a FEMA-FREE FLOOD of Latest Episode of Kayfab too, so long as the basest, most evolutionarily-conserved of mammalian circuitry stays Lit & so providing the warmth c/o Belonging/Identity…

In that case, confrontation with one's own Destiny can be delayed indefinitely...

What remains to be seen is the final fatality count will be when the Kollectively Klarna'd Katastrophe enters Kollections.

“Roel Mareno, Jr. owns a contraction company in southern Texas”

Is that why they always misspell their possessives as contractions?
