If you’re struggling to figure out why it’s important to show this to his stupid constituents then I don’t understand why you’re even commenting. Sit back and let the people interested in effecting change spread this information and shut the fuck up.
What I’m struggling with is to find evidence from past events which would lead you to believe his voters are going to be changed by showing them any of this. You’ve got the folks who do not care because they are Trump cultists, then you have the folks who would vote for Satan himself if he had R next to his name.
Everyone else is already not going to vote for him.
So what change do we think showing this to his supporters is going to effect?
You have apparently had much more productive conversations with trumpers than I ever have.
ask them what it would take to choose their country over their party.
And, it’s not hard to predict their answers.
Treat trans people like monsters and pedophiles, and legislate as such.
Knock gays back to the 80s or earlier via legislation
The rest of the queer community needs to STFU and pretend they don’t exist.
Cancel all DEI programs and make them illegal
Immigration? No thank you!
Make Pride month celebrations illegal at all businesses or public areas
Follow the DeSantis model of history teaching, by trying to claim slavery was a benefit to slaves, or that Rosa Parks was just having a bad day and sat at the wrong end of the bus, etc
Support police without question - as long as it’s the blacks, gays, antifa, and left-leaning protesters they are beating up on
Eliminate birth control and abortions nationally
Put back all those civil war memorials because muh heritage
Restrict college and high school curricula to Republican-approved materials on a national level
Cease all climate-change measures or spending
Acknowledge there is no solution to gun violence that involves restricting the activities of gun owners.
That’s pretty close to the list for anyone who is flying a Trump flag. And if it’s not on their list, it’s still not a dealkiller.
Outreach will win the day.
You’d need to put me in kevlar and pay me a lot to go knocking on maga doors all day.
The Texas governor’s pardon of a former Army sergeant who fatally shot a Black Lives Matter demonstrator undermines the state’s legal system and constitution and should be reversed, a prosecutor said Tuesday....
I’ve got a bad feeling that a Governor’s pardon doesn’t have a legal avenue for being reversed. I hope I’m wrong, and IANAL, but I have a suspicion that even though this was absolute horseshit we’re going to be stuck with it.
Like even accepting the premise that this works (which I don’t really), there would be any number of ads to be made about how Copilot can attend meetings for you, and you can just keep working instead and not have to be bothered with it. But no somebody made the ad thinking that increasing the meetings was the part that people are gonna get excited about.
I feel like this is the same guy who told the Kellogg’s CEO to suggest that folks struggling to pay higher prices for basics should try cereal for some meals.
Remember, you’ve already got the generation of folks who watched the transition to computers that were supposed to make their lives “easier” become instead “you are expected to do far more with your workday because we made it easier for you.”
Right now it looks like “wow it will lighten my workload” but what it will look like in the end is “now we can expect more productivity per the same unit time from our workers.”
In effect, Mr. Trump’s candidacy is becoming a referendum on what kind of justice system the country believes it has now and wants to have in the future
Take an article from a reputable publisher, an article for a subject that you are expert in.
Read it and make note of facts they got right and got wrong.
This is what got me to shake free of some podcasters I placed far too much faith in at one point in the past. When I realized how slanted and fucked their opinion was on things I knew about, it put all their other opinions in a much different light.
It’s almost like they are trying to shoehorn AI into anything and everything regardless of whether it is a good fit, and regardless of whether the technology is ready, and regardless of the outcome. Like blockchain. And IoT. And Angry Birds. (j/k on that last one. Kinda.)
But that’s none of my business, I’m just a puppet frog drinking tea.
Local Colorado officials have reached an $8.5 million settlement with a woman who was hospitalized in 2022 after being left handcuffed in a police SUV that was then hit by a train....
I guess that’s technically accountability. Doesn’t sound like much of a punishment.
And this is damn near a unicorn. (and likely would have been swept under the rug without cam footage - just like every other case where cops see justice) Just like one black president didn’t signal the end of racism, a small percentage of cases where someone OTHER THAN taxpayers are on the hook for police misbehavior doesn’t signal the end of a need for reform, it signals a nearly imperceptible change to the status quo. I’m grateful for the change, but it’s barely a start.
