Some acknowledge he is "flawed", but insist R policies are worth their vote. None can articulate the ACTUAL policies. None believe that project 2025 is the goal or as bad as I claim. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

They can't fathom that the government might hurt them.

I'm a ww who has walked away from many former friends who LOVE trump.

Despite having been super close to them, I have no idea how they could vote that way. They seem to be fully partisan and believe any R is better than every D. They use religion (abortion) as a shield. Low taxes/family values. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

I just read that it's Ramaswami's running mate who's spearheading the effort to use that money. 🀬

How much money do they have? πŸ€”

Great plan!

I'm getting mid 60s today. I'm enjoying every minute since Thursday is supposed to be 36.

He was also asked how it could be over when Pete Hegseth said it was just beginning. He said it was both.

He's claiming success so far, but more to come. F🀬king idiot.

Sure sure.

If he just reaches out to maga using Jesus' words, they must see the light.

Every other Dem who's tried to court conservatives rather than inspire more than 35% of their own voters to show up has had remarkable success.

Side eying Tim Ryan in Ohio. 😑

They. Don't. Want. Real. Jesus.

Are there ANY Ohio Republicans who aren't scamming to help billionaires?

We need to overcome voter apathy too.
My county voter turnout was something like 38% in 2024. I think Cleveland, proper, was under 30%.

I'm in Ohio. Our state government has been a Republican trifecta for something like 28 out of 32 years. We've had major corruption scandals. Somehow a voting majority is missing that Ohio's 3 decade downward trend has been stewarded by the men they keep voting for.

I'm surrounded by white, former friends who still stan him. I know them to be intelligent people, but they insist they see positive qualities or ignore the negative because of Republican "values". They will go to their graves insisting that he's better than a Democrat. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
It's insane.

Most white people have never been actively harmed by the government and can't begin to imagine that possibility.

White people only want sound bites & slogans. If we don't hear 1 simple message repeated until it becomes a mantra, it's too complicated bc we aren't interested in "politics".
"Family values" Ilike those.
"Read my lips, no new taxes" Cool I don't like taxes.
"Build the wall" sounds easy and cheap.

I live in Ohio and have been saying that for about 8 years now.

My husband and I went to Bali in trump's first term and Portugal last fall. I was more than happy to say I was a Clinton/Harris voter.

The people who asked seemed very relieved by my answer and I never once felt uncomfortable. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Oddly, I couldn't see your comment at first because it was labeled "rude" πŸ˜‚

Isata Kanneh-Mason absolutely tears through Rachmaninoff’s fiendish Piano Concerto No. 3 with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.

I love those novels and no way is Nicole Kidman even close to what I imagine Kay to look like. I also don't buy Kidman as super smart or able to do dirty work.

I wonder what Aubrey Plaza would look like as a blonde.

Alabama set to execute man who did not kill anyone Unless Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey intervenes, Charles β€œSonny” Burton, 75, will be executed Thursday. He is among thousands in America convicted under a controversial felony murder law.

A. This is awful and no one, wherever you stand on the death penalty, should be okay with it

B. This is a good headline that refuses to equivocate

Pushing Republican propaganda is "journalism"

I agree that @jaketapper.bsky.social should fuck off forever. I can't believe I used to think he was good at his job. 🀬
