Sweet! Can we get advertising on the inside of the WHB for all the sponsors? Maybe some cameras connected to AI to ensure people are enjoying themselves...
Tech and AI is acting like there will totalitarian rule and right wing will rule forever. Maybe so, but we aren't there yet. Setting themselves up to reap the whirlwind when another party takes power.
Nah, not this time, they've gone way too far for that. I think Democrats will make a real big effort to make peace with the average GOP / Trump supporter, but not the elite enablers.
Amusing. The typical businessperson anywhere complies with whatever rules an admin requires in order to do their business. The typical politician wants to create a loyalty based system since that allows him to be a kingmaker.
One of the defining aspects of low-corruption societies is that they don’t have the loyalty based systems and instead have rule of law. But now we see how the loyalty systems come about: it isn’t the politician who makes it; it’s the populace.
Given a single deviation from the low-corruption norm, they demand loyalty test based operation and would rather move towards high-corruption.
A low-corruption society is therefore an unstable equilibrium. The moment a norm deviation occurs, the people desire greater norm deviation.
People in power tend to like totalitarianism, it's an easy pathway to buddy up to whomever is in power and get around all those pesky issues like competition, rules, etc.
The masses shouldn't, but sometimes they do, foolishly.
What are they going to do, charge him with federal crimes in the most democrat city and fine him hundreds of millions and put him in jail?
You people who support demoncrats deserve so much worse. Enjoy reaping the next couple years that you sowed.
They aren't. House reps and Senators both spend over half their time fundraising, they're gonna behave perfectly normally and ignore whatever they need to for fundraising purposes.
we're getting pretty darn close; all we need is a subverted election -- if it almost succeeded in 2020 you can be sure it's going to succeed in 2028 -- to close the circle
Ah yes, you ignore Biden stealing the election. Stolen elections have consequences. Even the Amish had to come out in 2024 just to make sure there was no plausible way for democrats to steal another election.
Technically Trump should be eligible for a 3rd term. They are non consecutive.
All the right wingers yelling about elite conspiracies, pedo's etc. Trumpism is a group of them wallowing in plain site. Right wingers sure got quiet. It's called white identity politics and big tech sure flocked to it when the door opened. DEI for wealthy white sociopaths
Reap what? The second your side gets power again, your politicians will tuck their tails between their legs and let them off with a light scolding.

Luckily, that's not what happened.
When people show you who they are, believe them.
