Canβt wait until 20 years from now, when Iβll be watching liberals try to rehabilitate Donald Trump and doing my level best not to let the ensuing rage stroke kill me entirely.
Letβs say βeveryone has the right to make an informed decision about the future of the country.β
Well, if a given person is so pathologically, perhaps deliberately uninformed that theyβre functionally incapable of making an informed decision, that right isnβt doing them a lot of good, is it?
Iβm mostly playing devilβs advocate here, and I do believe in the right to self-determination, but what does self-determination mean, exactly?
Like, Iβm not sure how you can hear about some of the things voters believe and still conclude that these are people capable of self-governance, or of using their votes to rationally advance any interest whatsoever.
Well, a core assumption behind the idea of self-determination is that people, left to their own devices, will make at least some effort to better their own circumstances.
If a sizable fraction of the country is so ignorant and addled as to be basically livestock, that assumption no longer holds up.
Gonna need to fire up the picture-inverter on an almost industrial scale to have any hope of cleaning up this mess.
Whoever keeps telling Democrats they should uncritically adopt Republicansβ framing on literally every issue, all the way down to income taxation, needs to be fired immediately. Preferably out of the biggest cannon we can find.
Making me so glad we didnβt take what I assume was the bait and include him in a package for Trocheck
God damn this team is so fucking good when they turn it on #CarolinaCulture
Brandon Bussi is not allowed to play the puck any more #CarolinaCulture
Eric Tulsky really woke up this morning and chose violence (Deslauriers) and not a damn thing else. #CarolinaCulture
There just isnβt any explanation other than that these people are the worst and dumbest among us.
Like, as weird and wrong as it feels to just accept a simple idea like βour enemies are inherently inferior to us,β the evidence genuinely doesnβt point to anything else.

Are we absolutely positive Kochetkov hasnβt snuck on the ice wearing Bussiβs gear? #CarolinaCulture
Score: Canes 5, Canucks 1, Slavin 1, Refs 1. #CarolinaCulture
Idk man.
Outshooting 2:1. Outscored 2-1. Experience #CarolinaCulture hockey.
He needs to start rehearsing now so he doesnβt accidentally start talking about βGP2 enginesβ on the radio again.
Itβs called Formula 2 now.
Things you say when youβre definitely just βdefending yourselfβ vs. committing wanton murder on a civilizational scale.
Iβve seen enough. Not about the election. Just generally.
I simply think there needs to be somebody in the Senate who knows who Brandon Bussi is. #CarolinaCulture
If we ever want to reestablish anything resembling democracy in America, or even just want to prevent future atrocities committed under our flag, there is an obvious need for sweeping ideological purges of both our civil government and military.
βRiding in a golf cart fatlyβ is the 2026 liberal version of βto their white surpriseβ
Good Evening. βGiving Freddie back to back gamesβ was a sociological study conducted by Jarvard University. We are now complete with our study and normal Bus service will resume. Thank you. #CarolinaCulture
As someone who finds even the vanity admissions embarrassing, getting caught in something like this would make me spontaneously crawl out of my own skin.
1. This is despicably evil.
2. This needs to be fought at every level. There is no world in which this cannot be considered cruel and unusual punishment.
3. Those behind this effort need to be exposed and never know a moments peace.
Yeah, like obviously on a moral level thatβs an absolutely awful thing to do, but if your goal is to prevent the return of the monarchy by any means necessary then one of those choices is obviously smarter than the other.
