She certainly tried to help get Trump elected. Just because she’s ineffective doesn’t make her not a piece of shit.

Probably some specific memory Trump has of seeing a cup with “too many pencils, why do you need so many pencils???” 40 years ago. Just like the doll thing. There are more modern, relevant examples of discretionary spending he could have chosen, but his brain is mush from 1985.

Texas is still a red state, so statewide races like Ted’s US Senate seat are a stretch. Though Beto amazingly got within 2 points in 2018!

Looks to be bleached as well

That’s pretty messed up, but according to the article they only sent that letter out to a couple thousand people, which is not many in a state that size. It’s going to be hard for them to mess with voting eligibility on a large scale. Even stuff like this (which could be illegal), where they make some people jump through extra hoops to be able to vote, could end up depressing more Republican votes than Democratic ones. The big political realignment of the past 10 years has be largely along education lines - those with 4-year degrees or more sorting to Democrats, and those with less education sorting to Republicans. This flips the old system (poor Dems/rich Republicans) on its head. Things like voter ID laws, which are intended to inconvenience and depress the vote of people who don’t have their shit together, aren’t going to disproportionately hurt Democrats the way they used to, and could in fact have the reverse effect.

Red states are redrawing their districts based on 2024 margins. This may bite them in the ass, especially in Texas, if they expect their massive gains with Latinos to hold after the ICE horror show and terrible economy. All of their new R+8 gerrymandered districts might not be as safe as they thought in a D+10 midterm.

“Whuh?”

Beans are the 6 of Lemmy. Corn is the 7 of Lemmy.

You’re thinking of the Republican base. No, they didn’t forget, and they like it.

No harm, no cop, no foul

Trump won the popular vote in 2024 due to large enough numbers of independent, politically-disengaged voters voting for economic change and forgetting just how racist and misogynistic the Republican Party is. This administration seems hell-bent on reminding them.

Another example is the huge swing Latinos made toward Trump last year, and, according to polling, they’re already noping the fuck out.

He was 42 when he wrote the words pictured above

Their minds are wet cement, and you can write whatever you want into it. Teach them some supernatural BS at that age, and they will believe it for the rest of their lives.

What’ll be really sad is when, 5 years from now, you’ll hear some kid ask if anyone remembers how they used to say 67 back in the good ol’ days

Huh, only a 12-year gap. Didn’t realize KP was 41

If I’m aware of a trend, that means it became “cringe” and was “yeeted” by the kids who invented it at least 3 months ago
