The Targeting of Infrastructure by America’s Violent Far-Right (ctc.westpoint.edu)

The U.S. government has taken notice of far-right extremists’ renewed interest in targeting critical infrastructure, releasing numerous bulletins and warnings to educate the public and communicate transparently about the nature of the threat. According to CNN reporting, in late April 2023, a Department of Homeland Security...

PeepinGoodArgs,

Idk, it’s the flu. It’s going to infect everyone.

PeepinGoodArgs,

You can read Project 2025 for yourself. What details aren’t public?

PeepinGoodArgs,

Texas’ highest court ruled that the state law never required that the risk to a mother’s life be “imminent” when weighting whether they are eligible for an abortion. Because of this, the court wrote: “Ms. Zurawski’s agonizing wait to be ill ‘enough’ for induction, her development of sepsis, and her permanent physical injury are not the results the law commands,” the Los Angeles Times reported.

Oh, now that’s interesting (in the dumbest way possible). Because the lawmakers who wrote the abortion law were ignorant fucks that wouldn’t know a vagina from their own urethra, the near death experiences these women endured weren’t caused by their attempt to adhere to the law?

That’s just straight up malicious. If following the law puts your life at risk, then wtf is the point of following the law? Why shouldn’t these women get an abortion if the choice is between abortion and jail or a very high likelihood of death?

Wtf does governing mean in Texas?

PeepinGoodArgs,

Do not show those tapes. It’ll just empower assholes further.

PeepinGoodArgs,

I knew this comparison would materialize…and I fucking hated the idea of it, let alone an actual article.

In short, Trump is no Debs, not by any stretch of the imagination, even the imaginations of his deranged supporters.

PeepinGoodArgs,

Just have fun dancing

I did this sort of thing once at a Halloween party. I was by myself just dancing and it was fun af. Some random dude told me twice that I was the best dancer there, and I got to dance with a really hot girl for 2 seconds.

So follow Kat’s advice. Just say fuck it and have fun!

PeepinGoodArgs,

To be fair, they’re going after bigger, slippery-er fish

PeepinGoodArgs,

Give the people tangible policies to vote for.

This is bad advice because that’s obviously not what’s attracting Trump voters. What Biden and the Democrats really need to do is give a reason for voters to shun the Republican party and Trump especially, or basically do what Republicans are doing to Democrats.

PeepinGoodArgs,

Exactly. And Democrats have been trying to push their policies as good ones since forever. But outrage politics that so popular from TikTok to the NYT focuses more on the moral failures of politicians than their policy prescriptions or outcomes. That’s why they believe Biden is a pedophile while Trump’s name was on Epstein’s plane list multiple times. Most people are going to hear that Biden is pedophile because it shows up on the news in some form repeatedly, while being completely unaware of Trump solidifying a place for himself in hell.

That’s all to say, that yeah, it’s a horse race, but it’s not a horse race about winning exactly. It’s about which candidate gets covered in the most horse shit and mud to deter voters. And the right-wing media ecosystem is vast and repetitive.

PeepinGoodArgs,

My SO thinks, “We need more people like us”, as if we’re upstanding citizens lol. I mean, we oppose morally deficient nazis, as all nazis are, but otherwise…meh.

PeepinGoodArgs,

you’ve been chosen as a bucket of water to throw at the wild fire

Given that we live in New Mexico, where wildfires occur yearly and just get worse, that’s an apt metaphor. In fact, we’re getting a bit of smoke now from one. Yay…

PeepinGoodArgs,

“The government sucks!” says the person electing people to ensure the government sucks.

PeepinGoodArgs,

Laying the ground work for when Democrats get their shit together for a reasonable Supreme Court to undo the current version’s bullshit.

PeepinGoodArgs,

People seem to hate the concept of enshittification for some reason, but it’s a perfect encapsulation of the modern economy. Things that were once good are abused to extract wealth for shareholders. That is their only purpose. As far as the board of directors at Boeing are concerned, if they narrowly miss an accident they don’t have to report and it nets them an additional $1 million, then all the better. High quality engineering, the collaboration of engineers and machinists, and especially safety are only valuable insofar as they make more money. And they’ll be damned if they leave any money on the table to avoid a plane breaking up mid-air, killing everybody.

PeepinGoodArgs,

Cronometer? It’s more for calorie tracking, but it’s recipe builder does what you want.

PeepinGoodArgs,

Being underpaid despite working really hard and being a victim of Wells Fargo’s overdraft tricks in the late 2000s.

PeepinGoodArgs, (edited )

These are among the Christian demons that export their brand of hate to Africa and other places around the globe. To say that they’re a threat to freedom is an understatement.

PeepinGoodArgs,

You know how Haley is now saying she’ll vote for Trump after heavily criticizing him during her campaign?

I truly feel like most Democratic voters are going to end up doing the same for Biden. And they say Trump is making headway into other demographics, but I find that incredibly unlikely.

PeepinGoodArgs,

So why doesn’t Biden talk about what he’s going to do to help people?

I’m reading a book titled “Hit 'Em Where It Hurts” that explains why this this doesn’t work anymore. Basically, and contrary to you, not everyone knows that Biden isn’t Trump. Often these low-information voters just catch whatever vibes they happen to come across since they’re generally uninterested in politics.

So, imagine you’re one of these people.

From the Republicans you’ll hear, “Biden and the radical leftists want turn your kids away, make you pay more for energy, raise your taxes, and strip you off your freedom! They can’t be allowed to continue with their dangerous agenda that rips the future from patriots like you!”

From Democrats, if they focus on what they’ll do to help, “We’re going to forgive student loans, make the wealthy pay their fair share, and do more to invest in under-served communities. We want everybody to have a real shot at thy American Dream.”

Which do you think is more convincing? It does not help that Republicans have a massive media infrastructure that repeats their political messages while Democrats don’t.

The book I’m reading suggests using the Republican strategy against them. After all, it’s proven to be effective for Democrats (remember the Red Wave in 2022 that never was). And emphasizing the threat of the Republican party to American democracy is just true.

PeepinGoodArgs,

From Words That Work, by a prominent conservative political messaging consultant:

Americans know what they believe, even if they don’t know or can’t explain why they believe it or give you any evidence to prove it.

But if your beliefs lack justification, then you’re dumb.

Americans are dumb.

There. I said it.

PeepinGoodArgs,

It’ll be awful for them too when Trump insists that climate change is a hoax as their pale white grandma becomes the ghostly anachronism she appears to be.

PeepinGoodArgs,

What would change what you said? How can I change your mind?

PeepinGoodArgs,

But are the Democrats going to point to this as the blatant corruption it is? You can get your bottom dollar they’ll throw away the political opportunity like they always do.

PeepinGoodArgs,

The more nuanced follow up, however, is that it’s only worth the work if you’re putting in the right amount of work.

Yeah…this is why I abandoned by privacy journey a few years ago. It felt like it took a lot of work, created hiccups for very little reason, and was overall just not enjoyable. But I was able to get Bitwarden out of it, which, I think, is a pretty swell privacy-focused app.

PeepinGoodArgs,

Amen. Get futons instead so you can sleep anywhere in your home.
