Careful, Tero, if you cheer the wrong team, some irritable old man might come 'fact-check' your claim about coke.

Speaking of fact checking, there were 213,799,467 registered voters in 2020. :biggrin:

You still missed the one about coke though...

Tero is 'woke-a-cola' going to be the new national drink? Can you 'be less white', as they ask?

You should fact-check some memes. I think I saw one over there...

If you want to enjoy argument, there are several I have found, in open environments. It's amazing how different ideas look.

If you want to roast republicans, and those who caricature them, that's probably ok too

I'm beginning to suspect that our member from Yellowknife regards it as a sport - see how much misinformation he can get away with spreading.

Or maybe he spreads brazen lies because he loves the reaction he gets for doing so. Some people enjoy trolling.

Who do you think is being fooled?

I mean, it's great that you jump up to smash any misinformation you are politically comfortable smashing, but the Trump supporters are still racist, according to the Supreme AccuserTM

They are indeed. As I wrote, the difference between ISIS and Trump supporters is not visible in the photo of their respective motorcades Renée Graham posted because it is ideological. That is to say, while Isis is fundamentally theocratic, Trump supporters are fundamentally racist. It's not something that is immediately recognisable in the photos, and indeed Renée Graham reckons there is none.

When I think of the Trump supporters I know, and how they behave around people of different races, it only leaves the possibility that you tortured the definition such that you could maintain your Republican hate.

Shame really. You seem like a smart guy most of the time.

Isis...fucking hilarious. It's like calling Trump 'literally Hitler'.

There is a difference between writing

a) Trump supporters are fundamentally racist.

and

b) All Trump supporters are racist.

I leave it to your prodigious analytical skills to work out whether I wrote a) or b), but if you can't, there is that link in your signature which will lead you to the post in question. All you need to do then is to learn to distinguish between what is written and what you imagine.

Some people are fundamentally clouded over Trump. I think it's funny.

Now, steering this back to Republicans, I think the Babylon Bee qualifies.

Agreed. Those people are also known as Trump supporters. The ones who think Trump was sent by God.

The organizer of CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) after being informed about the direct correspondence between the shape of their stage and a rune used by Nazis, decided it would be too much trouble to change it.

It doesn't really matter whether CPAC's use of a rune associated with the Nazi regime was intentional or not. Paying attention to what was said on that stage, the white nationalism is there either way.

'CPAC was about more than Trump's cult -- it's now cemented the GOP's authoritarianism'
The targets of Trump's wrath are the only Republicans who drew the line at a violent attempt to overthrow the government. This isn't about just remaking the party in his own image, but remaking the party as one explicitly supportive of violent insurrections. Frankly, it won't be a hard task, since, as his pathetically short list showed, few Republicans were even interested in opposing his coup in the first place.

CPAC's anti-democratic agenda was made clear by all the non-Trump programming of the conference. Multiple panels and individual speakers hyped Trump's lies about how he is the "real" winner of the election, less out of mindless Trump worship and more because those lies fit their larger agenda: Denying the legitimacy of Democratic voters, especially voters of color. The subtext was made textual but Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri, who gave a speech explicitly declaring: "We can have a republic where the people rule or we can have an oligarchy where Big Tech and the liberals rule."

Hawley's [is] a formulation that puts liberals outside of the category of "the people." As Philip Bump of the Washington Post wrote, "The reason 'the liberals' have power in Washington at the moment is that more Americans voted for Democrats in the 2020 election" and Hawley's dichotomy suggests "liberals aren't Americans who have a voice in government."

The "liberals aren't legitimate Americans" notion was baked directly into Trump's coup efforts, which — until the Captiol riot, anyway — were largely focused on throwing out the votes in big, liberal cities, by declaring these votes "corrupt" and "fake". No evidence of illegal voting either was introduced nor was it needed. For Trump voters, the fact that these voters are racially diverse and prefer Democrats inherently renders their votes illegitimate.

(CNN)The prevailing message that emerged from last weekend's annual Conservative Political Action Conference wasn't that Joe Biden is a bad president or that Donald Trump is great (although both speakers and attendees voiced those sentiments).

It was that Mr. Potato Head had been canceled.
"Look out, Mr. Potato Head, you're next," said Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz said in his speech. "I'm sorry, I think now he's going by Potato X. He can't be Mr. Potato."

The alleged canceling of Mr. Potato Head was not just consistent with the dominant theme of the CPAC gathering -- a banner proclaiming "America Uncanceled" was prominently displayed on stage -- but also with where Republicans (and their conservative media allies) have gone, in terms of messaging, in the immediate post-Trump era.
