Professional and college sports are a massive scam that make you a fat, impotent spectator of life and are the equivalent of pornography in that you are watching men do what you merely settle for fantasize about

Also they're cash cows for the people ruining America
Study in Europe found people who watch "sports every day were at higher risk of obesity after adjustment for age, sex, smoking, alcohol, physical activity, total TV time, disability, and self-rated health." The same is true and probably worse in America researchgate.net/publication/25…
When you consider that a sedentary lifestyle contributes to the causes of erectile dysfunction, watching sports can quite literally make you impotent ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

These talking points are unrolled every few years: "the GOP can win big by embracing mass immigration, if they just soften their hearts!" It never pans out, and relatively small gains are framed as shadings of an illusory red wave to come on the back of mass immigration 1/
How has that worked out for California? The GOP there has basically become the diet Democratic Party. For example, why didn't Reagan's amnesty put California's immigrant population squarely in the GOP corner? "But look at the gains in this county this election!" 2/
Trump made gains with Hispanics, OK--but Trump got a smaller share of their vote than previous GOPers, and this despite him backing off on immigration rhetoric and floating amnesty for DACA and the American Dream plan. Nevertheless, they were decisive in helping Biden win 3/

Rich Grennell and a few other prominent MAGA people are crusading against critics objecting to the GOP embracing transgenderism as normal and healthy, framing opposition as bigoted. It's therefore evident that on some social issues Trump's GOP is further left than before 1/
This is hilarious because liberals view Trump’s GOP as ultra socially conservative, which is simply not true. Meanwhile, for all MAGA's talk of the culture war, they're adopting socially left positions and reframing them as moderate (fiscally responsible!) alternatives 2/
Trump's GOP, prominent MAGA figures are engaging in cancel culture to intimidate detractors into shutting up--you either embrace Trump-brand LGBTQ ideology or you're bigoted and get left behind. Okay, so perhaps add an asterisk to "America Uncanceled" as MAGA's new war cry 3/

Republicans want to normalize transgenderism at a slightly lower dose than the Democratic Party. In other words, they're fine with Drag Queen Story Hour as long as the drag queens are wearing MAGA hats
This but with MAGA so it's fine -- but remember, it's Democrats that want to destroy the family and hate traditional values! Image
Crazy thought: Republicans shouldn't embrace transgenderism because it's convenient but instead frame the issue as the normalization of something that is related to mental illness with devastating social consequences which requires compassionate care instead of enabling

Was watching American Pie the other day. Never have been a big fan of the movie. But watching it now I'm struck by the realization that the kind of apolitical, carefree, blissfully ignorant experience portrayed in that movie of young people is increasingly impossible 1/
Basically this was my high school experience, which was totally apolitical, never crossed my mind that there was a world outside our little garden of youth where 2/
Now not just high schoolers but basically all children capable of reading English on any level are subjected to a bombardment of soul crushing propaganda. These pictures are from different book stores I've been to recently 3/

At a point, capitalists are indistinguishable from communists. Both reduce man to materialism, one just shouts "that's not real communism," while the other one shouts "that's not the free market" at any criticism of either ideology
"Something something but capitalism is moral"

Here is a story about a girl selling lemonade to pay for brain surgery

"That's not the free market but also good because it builds character"

At least this girl can easily get her hands of Oxy thanks to the GOP-AEI-pharma axis
Best of all, capitalists miss the point that America isn't and hasn't been a capitalist society for a while. Managerialism is the defining political and economic system, and it arose in part due to a crisis in capitalism. Anyway, hamburgers or socialism, etc, etc
