Faine Greenwood: Ironically I’m a very bleak person but I also fucking hate declaring defeat before you’ve actually lost

I also think that this move may actually finally shift the media’s obsessive focus on Biden Old to “reminding everyone what a crazy aspirant dictator bastard Donald Trump” is. It was working out for Trump to have way less media attention on him for a while, IMO.

Very grateful there's someone with 10x my following and the same anti-doomer instincts

Ironically I’m a very bleak person but I also fucking hate declaring defeat before you’ve actually lost

If Trump were to say tomorrow that he now knows the temperature must be lowered and he’ll do his part, he’d probably gain votes. He ain’t doing that.

Hell no. I wouldn’t put it past him to directly blame Biden and the Democrats.

Of course he will and he’s going to do it very violently - this is not going to be appealing to non-insane people

The RNC next week is going to make the Roman Coliseum look like a Taylor Swift concert.

wait the rnc is next week???

Yes

Hopefully with a lot more lions.

This is not going to be good. Why the hell did we end up with this janky timeline??

Harambe was keeping it sane. He was the Keeper of the "Not Quite So Shitty Timeline." Uh, /sarcasm on a 10+ year old joke.

I belive you're thinking of Prince and David Bowie holding things together.

I still blame the cubs for winning in 2016.

I damn near had to whiteboard out "not going to be appealing to non-insane people" !appealing = !!sane_people is how my coder brain went at it and then it crashed.

The problem with coder brain is that assignment operators are always if and only if statements, never one-way implications

As a developer I assure you that's not the only problem with our brains.

the RNC was already gonna be a freakshow with them thinking they've got this in the bag, it's gonna be so much more deranged now

Right now that's probably the best possible outcome, because Trump being scary and deranged at the convention is the one thing that can destroy sympathy for him and remind people of why he's such a horror show.

That would be "weak."

you never never obey in advance

I have hope out of spite.

Hope is getting knocked down 10 times and getting up 11. The one that wins isn't the one that doesn't get knocked down. It's the one that KEEPS GETTING UP. Hope is an endurance contest.

Hope is, inherently, defiance.

To quote my favorite author: Love and Spite in equal measure!

To resist despair in this world is what it means to be free.

I mean, there's very few ways you can go wrong when you model yourself after Mr. Rogers. Either Fred or Steve.

The quote I saw on here is “leave your teeth marks on their bones”

I'm of the "do everything you can, carry on with life, vote, all that to make sure it goes the way we want it- While still having worst case plans." school of thought. I view this like Colorado fire season - life goes on, but have an evac plan in case of fire near you is not a bad thing.
