The stupidity of this plan illustrates the problem with the concept itself. We all cast our ballots in the primaries. Forcing out the guy we chose, and then trying to run a PT Barnum reality show so we don't get "stuck" with the highly competent Black woman next to him is suicide.

DM tip: Every once in a while, ask the party or a player to make a die roll, whatever is appropriate for your game, ask for the result, make a note of it, and move on There's nothing they really need to check, but it does make them nice and paranoid wondering WTF just happened.

July 7, 2020 As the pandemic continues to rage, Trump announces the United States is withdrawing from the World Health Organization. Candidate Joe Biden promises to immediately reverse this if elected. (He did, in his first hours in office.)

I just read an article that said "Why is it taking so long for your favorite movies and tv series to air? Blame the writers and actor strikes" No I won't. I'm blaming that ✨single✨ motherfucker at the studio who makes $250 million dollars a year who's one job is supposed to make this shit happen.

Possibly the most enraging thing about the Democratic party right now is that it seems to have no capacity to reckon with this reality - they look at Jaws halfway up on the back of the boat, ready to sink the whole thing, and fantasize that it's Mitt Romney and John McCain waving to them

I was surprised how...strongly I felt about my country when Trump first started. But my patriotism is for what I believed America was as a child and what today as an adult I believe American SHOULD be and can be. Even if I could flee, which likely would be difficult...I will not. NO, YOU MOVE.

my friend asked the other day how i planned to cover the growing fascism here and i said “i guess continue writing about it til i’m sent to prison? lol” it was a flip thing to say but it’s hard to imagine ever stopping. or fleeing. i’m feeling not quite patriotic, but protective of this country.

Being a good citizen, being a good neighbor, being a helpful and attentive student, being a good community member, even what was once considered being a good Christian - all of these things are antithetical to the right wing movement

It's not that the leaders are incidentally bad, the badness is what makes them good leaders for this movement, which again is to make as many people as fundamentally rotten as possible

The thing that's obvious to everyone and that nobody can actually write in the press is that the American (and yes, I'm sure elsewhere too) right wing is led by bad people and the object is to make more people extremely bad in basically every respect. It's anti-society

pretty stunning how the billionaire class(and yes that means the legacy media) have completely turned on Biden. They'd rather have a fascist dictatorship than pay taxes and a living wage to employees. Insane power grab in front of the cameras

When fascism comes to America, Americans will think they’re still free.

I will bang this drum forever: in THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE FREE: THE GERMANS, 1933-45 Milton Mayer interviewed 10 ordinary Germans after WW2 to learn how fascism took hold. There was never a moment when everyone woke up:

There's a simple reason Trump, Miller, and MAGA have decided that they need to disavow Project 2025 immediately. Plausible deniability. Swing voters hate Trump, hate his policies, and hate Project 2025. But they remember how bad he was at the job. They get that the wall was just schtick.
