And from what I have seen, the curbstomping was repeated in damn near every election happening in Texas on that day, with the trend continuing of Hispanics moving toward the Republicans (several Hispanic-heavy districts broke for the GOP).

If anything, it was all a HUGE whitepill for me, because it shows that a lot of the people who voted Biden or Dem in 2020 did so because they hated Trump, but now that the consequence of their action is hitting them in the face (sometimes literally), they are starting to go screaming rightward at supersonic speed. And the Left has no idea how to handle it and can just sit there and watch as they utterly BTFOed.

Seconded. I was already starting to sour on him for his chronic blackpill doomering (more on that in a minute), but I think the moment that really hit me was when we finally saw the much fabled Beanie Compound.

For a guy who talks about how money is meaningless and he would be fine living in a van down by the river, homeboy seems to be living EXTREMELY high on the hog. We are talking, an actual, honest to god mansion. And when I saw where it was located because of the info on the forum for Small Bird Ranchers, I realized that for all of his talk about being "out in the mountains", he is still within spitting distance of DC, which is FAR from isolated. "Leave your homes because they are on fire, and run to the mountains!" he says, from a million dollar mansion.

And of course, there is the blackpilled doomering he engages in, where he just seems bound and determined to be a miserable bastard at any cost. It hit me when he had Michael Malice on last time. Michael was doing his usual Malice-ism about how "if they were winning, the propaganda would not be necessary", how he is extremely whitepilled about the future, that this pain we are in is temporary and people will absolutely revolt against it, that with each passing day more people decide they dont want it, all of that stuff. And yet, the whole time Tim could do nothing but say "your wrong." Never said how, never said how to fix it, never even entertained Malice's point. Just "Your wrong. We're doomed." And then I thought to when Tim was always talking about how Journos want you depressed, angry, scared, or some combination of the three. And I looked at his desperate attempt to remain the Eeyore in the face of positive news, and all I can think is "How are you any different Tim?"

This is why I have started moving toward his old cohost Adam Crigler. At least he is upbeat, offers up positive news in addition to the usual stuff, and seems to truly believe that America (and humanities) best days are ahead of us.

Ah, a fellow 1920+ enthusiast I see.

I would like to thank you for being a voice of reason in the face of the demoralized blackpilled bed-wetters. There are plenty of signs to show that 2022 and perhaps 2024 will not be kind to the Democrats, and we are likely on the cusp of the Populist taking over the Republican Party.

Although I disagree with your OP. I am sure that the RNC doesnt want DeSantis. But they may not have a choice in the matter. And for the broader point, I think Trump is much more useful playing King-Maker than actually running again. He has too much baggage and there is still too much TDS, but much like a Roman emperor, he has the almost single handed power to decide who lives and who dies with but the flick of a thumb. And I think that would be more useful for him than another run at the Presidency.

Pretty different. I don't know of even rudimentary starvation of Japanese Americans in the Internment Camps, and there was no campaign of total extermination of Japanese Americans on the entire continent.

WEELLLL, in the interest of absolute fairness (which is MUCH more than your typical Stormfag deserves), there are indeed confirmed cases of abuse in the internment camps and some cases of minor starvation. But your point still remains, it was very much the exception and not the rule.

And more importantly, we still trusted Japanese-Americans enough to give them guns and go fight our enemies. And their unit proved that apparently the desire to wipe out a katana, scream "BANZAI!!" and charge a machine gun is apparently inherent in the Japanese, because the 442nd is both the most decorated and most damaged US unit in the war.

But I imagine you would have a hard time finding Jews wielding weapons for the Nazi's. Because the second you gave them the guns, they would turn around and start trying to shoot said Nazi's with no real thought to whether or not they would be walking out alive. Because dragging a few Nazi's to hell with them would be preferable.

One of the most corrupt cities in the country, in one of the most corrupt states in the country, has one of the most corrupt police departments in the country? I am shocked! Shocked, I tell you!

I think the issue in trying to make the Right say ACAB is that a lot of our police arent like that. For instance, my governor says masks are required. My sheriff doesnt give a damn. I have seen him walk into the local gas station to get his morning coffee, and he just waves at everyone and saying "Morning" and doesnt even give them a second look if they arent wearing mask. And that is the attitude of most police in Right-leaning areas. And on the riot front, my local cities have not spared the rod and mercilessly beat BLM and Antifa until they got the hint that they should leave, and so we have seen only minor crime spikes, especially compared to other cities who are seeing double, or even triple, digit percent increases in crime.

So is it any wonder that around here we still fly the Thin Blue Line flags and say "We love our cops!"? And yet, a lot of the people who fly those flags, when you bring up departments like the LAPD or NYPD, the response is "Screw'em, until they learn who they should be serving."

Yep. It seems quite obvious in the video: They went in, and they weren't expecting a fight. They thought all they had to do was show up, say "Break it up", arrest a few people if they got rowdy, and call it a day. Instead, they were met with an extremely hostile and agitated crowd, who not only did not back down, but went on the freaking offensive. Even when the cops brought out the whacky sticks and started hitting people, it just made them angrier instead of making them back down.

Its quite obvious that the ruling class has become SO. UTTERLY. DISCONNECTED. From the average person that they dont seem to realize the beast that is awakening out there. And they probably wont, until their precious power is ripped from their fingers by force (as it seems likely to happen with the political winds at the moment).

I (technically still am) a fan of RWBY, and to answer your things here:

1. The White Fang started out as peaceful, but became violent because they thought the peaceful way was taking too long. And they become increasingly more violent as time goes on because one of their biggest leaders (Adam Taurus) is extremely unstable and violent. Now, RT hammed it up in my opinion because they wanted to make him more evil, probably because they didnt like that a large section of the fan base liked him (same thing happened with Gen. Ironwood). It ultimately ends with them swearing an alliance to the big bad who's literal goal is to bring the gods back to their world so that she can kill them and finally die (even though this would likely destroy the world in the process).

And yet you have people siding with them because "poor oppressed Faunus!"

2. It is absolutely kind of all over the place in terms of how oppressed Faunus are. In a flashback to when the White Fang was peaceful, we see them getting shot at by rando's for seemingly no reason, but that was a good 5+ years before the event of the show. Its said Atlas uses them in their mines, and Adam is branded with the logo of their biggest mining company because of unspecified reasons, but at the same time we see that Atlas is harsh to a lot of people, not just Faunus.

But more than that, it seems to be kind of minor in the grand scheme of things. The one guy pulling on the rabbit girls ears is hated by everyone and a bully in general, not just against Faunus. Also, Atlas, despite being supposedly the most racist against Faunus, has 2 high-profile Faunus working for them. One in their military/magic academy, and one as a member of their elite special forces team. Which raises the question of "If they are so racist, how do these 2 have highly influential and important positions?" And are treated well by their comrades and the people of Atlas in general.

3. I agree that RWBY has absolutely lost its way from its first 3 seasons. Back then, it didnt take itself TOO seriously, and Monty always kind of acknowledge that the plot was just kind of there as an excuse to go from badass fight scene to badass fight scene. But in recent times, it has started to take itself too seriously, they stoppped developing the main characters, anyone who dares questions the characters in-universe are struck down as being wrong without looking into it more, and if the fans end up siding with someone OTHER than the main characters, they assassinate that character and radically alter them to force people to go back to agreeing with Team RWBY.

Even as a confirmed autist myself, even I dont know what the hell he is saying. I didnt realize I was working with weapons-grade autism.

So they brought a SWAT team and all it took to run them out was an angry Pole? Canada, this is why people pick on you.

They must have gotten lazy then, because last election Montana went more Red than normal. And that is saying something.

The Lusitania always bothered me. Wilson went to war, using the Lusitania as an excuse... 2 years after it sunk.

It is definitely kind of weird. At the time it sank, there was absolutely genuine anger. You had people howling for blood, you had people attacking Germans in America in retaliation for it, you had freaking Teddy Roosevelt saying he was going to get the Rough Riders back together to go kick Germanys ass (and initial reports were that he would have a million man army to do it with), and all of that. Then Wilson decides to ignore it, calm everyone down, and run for reelection on an isolationist platform. Ironically, using Lusitania as an example of "This is why we should be isolationist."

Then, on the orders of the Kaiser, Germany starts doing unrestricted subs again, they sank a few US Merchant ships before the call really got out to watch their backs, and British Intelligence leaks the Zimmerman Telegram (as I said, a year late). Then you have Wilson suddenly getting as worked up as Teddy did, and even going "You know what?! We should have smashed them the first time!"

Just in case people thought voters having the memory of a goldfish is a recent issue.

USS Lusitania

Quick point of order: Lusitania was a British-owned Royal Mail Steamer (RMS), not a United States Naval Ship (USS). But your main point is still true. In fact, to further bolster your, the Zimmerman Telegram was sent a full year before it was leaked to the public, and they knew that the Mexicans response to the Germans had been "ARE YOU FUCKING NUTS?! No, absolutely not! And do not attempt to contact us again!"

But they waited until the public was at a point where they would be sufficiently angry (which ended up being "German restarted unrestricted submarine warfare, and had sunk a few US merchant ships"), and then they dropped it.

Its why I think the future is brighter. A lot of the places that had fraud in 2020 are now rolling back the measures that made that happen in the first place, to the substantial reeing of the usual suspects. Which results in backlashes that just further alienate people, such as in Georgia. You also continue to see Dems in some areas starting to flip to being Republican because they hate the DSA types taking over the party, which might actually put Nevada in an interesting position (They recently saw the ENTIRE state Dem organization quit because the DSA took them over).

Because much like with Obama, the Dems, and more specifically the Left Wing of the party, are making the mistake that they are no unbeatable, the future will be permeant Dem rule, and they must govern as if they will never lose again.

In reality, their hold on power is so narrow they are having to claw in with their fingernails, the Republican base is mad as hell and itching to find any way to pry them away, their antics are alienating normies (who are now starting to realize that the problem wasnt Trump), and some initial info even shows they may be alienating some Asian groups and Hispanic groups as the realities of their Id-Pol catches up to them.

The near future will absolutely suck, especially if you live in a Blue State. But history shows that the US has this unnatural ability to bounce back from issues that have destroyed other nations, and I feel it will happen again. The establishment tries to puff up its power, but they know its all a house of cards that is getting very unstable with each passing day.

I mean, thats not really THAT unusual. Remember, after 4 years of gaslighting about how Trump is the biggest racist to ever be president, he ended up getting the most diverse voting base ever. With a significant but still tiny black voting group, and an absolutely jaw-dropping share of the Hispanic community (which is the one he supposedly offended the most).

Shocking, I know, that "We like this country, and we think this country can be better, and we think it should only be changed for the better" is a message that appeals to people of all races.

And in the end, I think it will be the thing that helps bring us back to some sort of positive place.

On the other hand, I take stuff like this to mean that Cheney and her ilk know they are screwed. The populist and "America First" conservative types are already starting to primary out the squishes, and they are giving the double-barreled middle finger to the GOPe types in the process. And while the GOPe wants to stop them, they really cant because the state level parties (who hold most of the power over the RNC) have already been taken over by the populist and "America First." So the squishy GOPe is on borrowed time, they know it.

And I imagine the Dems know it too and its why they are going power drunk as if to say "HUUUURRRRY! ITS OUT ONLY CHANCE!!"

I think the funniest one was they went to some rancher who was letting the power company build turbines on his land in exchange monthly payments. They told him he was ruining the “picturesque skyline” by building them, and the rancher told them “Tell you what: if you pay me the same for that skyline, I will take them down.” The activist shut up real quick.

There may be something to that. Considering Tubbin was busted “spanking the monkey” despite the fact that he was in a professional call at the time.

You want to know what I find funny about this sort of Climate Change bullshit? Here in Kansas, the average person thinks its all a scam and will laugh in your face it you come at them preaching your Sun Monster religion. So, how much of the grid do you think is renewable? Well, 42% is wind power. Why do we use so much wind power? Because in Kansas, when you say "There is no wind today", what you really mean is "There is a light breeze today" because there is no such thing as "No wind in Kansas".

But this was done not because we had governors who demanded we do this. God knows if that was the issue they would be having a cow over Jeffrey. No, we do wind turbines because it is cheap and efficient and it works, much like the windmills of our forefathers on the prairie.

In fact, locally it is the climate activist who complain the most about the turbines because "Its bad for the prairie!" and "It ruins the skyline!" And like when they push their Sun Monster religion, people just blow them off for those complaints too.

But if you ask the average Climate Cultist, we here in Kansas are a bunch of Neanderthals because we dont agree with their religion. Imagine that.

I still laugh at what went down when the Antifa guy tried to threaten a guy in a car with his AK, only to get lit up like a Christmas tree. Then when Antifa/BLM tried to March on the police to demand charges, the Austin PD rode out with literal horse cavalry and rode them all down. And shockingly, the riots ended in Texas the next day.

I am just glad they have a similar attitude in my neck of the woods. It’s the reason Kansas City and Omaha are still standing.

"Add more repesentation of portland" by adding a new made-up anti-govt anti-american faction that wanted nuclear disarmament and the removal of gun rights.

Fricking what?!

Are they just ignoring that lore-accurate United States would have taken one look at someone pushing that sort of stuff and, assuming they didnt just drag them all into the street to have them gunned down, would have likely been in the first wave at Anchorage?

Also, how the hell are you a commie and hate guns? You know, that thing you need for your revolution to have even the hope of success? And if that is still a thing they practice, how the HELL do they survive the wasteland without the first group of raiders looking at them and going "Oh look, free target."

Of course child rapist are less damaging than dirty prosecutors.

Child rapist have one target, so you know what to expect and can prepare for it to a certain extent. Dirty prosecutors target EVERYONE and there is little you can do short of yeeting them from the tallest building in town.

I am sure its all totally a coincidence that after he went on live TV, said "extortion", and brought the receipts, that the media dropped the story. Dont worry, guys! Hes totally guilty. That is why we havent said a word about it for over a week.

To this end, I think what we are seeing now is the new way of doing it. People got angry, almost let their anger boil over, then luckily some people actually saw what was coming and went "Oh wait, you're trying to play me again arent you?" At which point everyone started to calm back down and now people are getting smart about ways of dealing with the problems with the options we actually have instead of running to the glowing man and shouting Fed-posting.

Considering it has already started to happen, I foresee lots of invoking of the 10th Amendment in the future and, heres hoping, a move back toward "The United States Are..." instead of "The United States Is..."
