      I’m completely desensitized to this “right/left wingers melt-down” headline trend.

        I live in the middle of fucking nowhere

        Way more afraid of the always naked guy that doesn’t have running water and shits in his front yard outhouse all winter than I am of the rich fucks with fancy gates and threatening signs on them: “PRIVATE PROPERTY. FUCK AROUND AND FIND OUT.”

        Ok buddy. Guaranteed our mutual neighbor shits in your yard for fun.

      Pretty much always.

      The media continually paint them as having a meltdown, but in reality it’s their state of being; the reactionary hate is where they live.

      If you hear “<famous person x> does <y> and the far right say they’re OK with that….” be VERY concerned about whatever <y> was.

        I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets dumped/allowed to rot in fields. A whole lot of dumbasses think soy will make them lose their manhood, so I don’t see too many on the right changing their diet to anything even having the appearance of being plant-based. I mock their goofy “soy boy” slur as I think it should be mocked…

    Lemme guess, it started on Fox News?

    What are they distracting from now, still the Epstein files? Trump backtracking on Portland and considering that Fox might be wrong about it? The Church shooter being MAGA? The list is too long, they need to keep pumping out the distractions.

      The need to to sensationalize everything needs to stop. The only place I’ve seen outrage is in headlines, which dropped at the same time of the announcement. There isn’t even time for genuine thought before they write the narrative.

      The Fairness Doctrine needs to make a comeback.

    Maybe society can figure out how to harness all that perpetual negative energy to make something good. Something like churros.

        He refused an american tour because he doesn’t want ICE staking out his shows and harassing his fans. The half-time doesn’t require them in person to enjoy it.

          That makes sense, like I said I didn’t really know why other than what I heard from a coworker. Still seems a bit hypocritical. Takes away from the message a bit.

            If you “don’t really know why”, then why are you repeating rumor and hearsay? You know that’s how bullshit spreads, right? “Oh my coworker said blahdiddyblahblah and I didn’t bother to verify it”

            You’re on the Internet, you can literally just open a new tab and Google shit before you go talking out of your ass.

            It's literally this easy.

            It’s not hypocritical, he said he would no longer tour, because of danger to his fans. The Super Bowl is not a tour date and there will be no danger to his fans, as they will not be the primary attending audience of the Super Bowl. It wasn’t some stand against the administration, it’s a protective action for his fans which isn’t applicable in this case.

    They have to face so many disappointments lately. Several shooters that were not queer black illegal aliens, ICE removing their cheapest slaves employees, and now no country singer for the halftime show.

    That is more than those snowflakes can stand.

      I’ve always found a great way to deal with disappointment is to just eat razor blades dipped medical waste until the disappointment fades away. Hopefully they can give it a shot and it works for them too.

      Maybe not anymore, a few polls have shown reduced support for Trump among Hispanics, probably because his goons assume they are illegal because they’re brown.

      We tried to warn them…

        Try telling that to my half Mexican brother and his Mexican wife. If anything, their positive opinion of Trump has gone through the roof. They love seeing the “pisas” get deported.

        They don’t seem to realize that they’re next once ICE runs out of easy targets.

          It’s weird as hell that white people are constantly talking about nonwhites who support Trump. The only demographic which the majority votes Republican is “white people”. Talk to your white family and friends and convince them to vote for Democrats.

            Shifting blame is part of the political game.

            No democratic presidential nominee has won a majority of the white vote since Democrats supported the civil rights act in 1964. Not even Jimmy Carter after the Nixon debacle. He only won 45% of the white vote. How the majority of white people voted Republican even in those circumstances is mind boggling.

            A majority of white people supported Trump for the past three elections and white liberals love to blame PoC, especially for the most recent election because they can’t put together a persuasive message to people in their own community. They’re constantly vying for PoC to swoop in and save them instead of putting in the work.

          I think it all depends on whether ICE has harassed them directly, or someone they know. Today’s Conservatives have no empathy at all, they only care about things that affect them personally.

        My polls show increased support because they think the bad browns will be kicked out and not them, the good browns.
