"FCC lifts rules so Amazon can build radar devices to track users’ sleep."
You go to bed after criticizing Amazon for being woke and awaken to FBI agent Charlotte Clymer smashing through your door and placing you under arrest for racism washingtontimes.com/news/2021/jul/…
As you're pinned to the floor you catch a glimpse of Kevin McCarthy on TV saying Republicans are gonna get the government off your back
As you're being dragged into the Amazon paddy wagon for processing at your local Amazon prison sentence fulfillment center you hear Lauren Boebert on a radio somewhere saying Democrats want big government socialism welfare hamburgers handouts
At the Amazon fulfillment you see an advertisement on a TV in the warehouse wherein Elise Stefanik says that Republicans are the party of tax cuts as you are forcibly sterilized

The good thing about the Jenner candidacy is that it shows who's serious about working toward something constructive and who's a slave to clownish party politics. If you can rationalize "transgenderism as a conservative issue to own the libs," you deserve to lose.
And the people pushing Jenner while espousing free market dogma and denouncing economic populism as socialism *must* lose so that something good can grow.
The key issues of our time: immigration, curtailing the natsec apparatus, and economic policy into which trade/challenging capital/enabling people to start/raise families fold. Jenner represents the GOP's rejection of these things for more of the same market-Moloch worship
The thing that isn't discussed enough about Christopher Caldwell's Age of Entitlement is how the GOP, independent of its ability to win elections, has either done nothing to prevent the country's leftward drift or has been completely complicit in that, from Reagan to Trump
The GOP's role from Reagan to Trump has been to reconcile/delude Americans to the death of their country with the illusion of victory. The GOP is "good" Civil Rights Act party, the Democrats are the "bad" ones, and Caldwell argues that they aren't different
Take Caldwell's criticisms of Reagan as reconciling conservatives to defeat and apply them to Trump and it is identical. Caldwell's criticism of Reagan's role in the MLK holiday applies to Trump and Juneteenth
According to the founder of the award winning Democracy Preservation Initiative, it is absolutely okay to drag white people out of their cars and execute them in front of their children
I'm sure these people will come around now that the Republican Party has gone woke, right?
Taite idiotically confused the Puerto Rican and Confederate flags amid discussion about the Juneteenth shooting this weekend and then doubled down on executing white people anyway fox32chicago.com/news/man-kille…
A perfect way to celebrate Juneteenth, right? This is the country created not just by Democrats but by castrated GOPers like John Cornyn and Donald Trump and the conservative movement eunuchs reconciling us to the rot. You should hate them for the America they've created.
Any concession on "criminal justice reform" or national identity is insane and destructive today and that is the context in which current affairs must be understood
I mean he just fundamentally changed the federal prison system to the advantage of violent criminals but hey, whatever
GOP and conservative eunuchs who haven't conserved anything make themselves indistinguishable from the left while telling you that they're saving the country from the left, using the money and political capital you give them to stab you in the back over and over 1/
This is perfectly fitting: GOP/conservatism isn't fighting to save anything, the culture war was lost long ago, they'll keep losing and reconciling Americans to defeat. The establishment of Juneteenth happens at the same time the GOP makes it clear it's not taking on Google 2/
The upside to this is that it's a reminder that there's no reason to pay Republicans or Dispatch/Bulwark/National Review conservatives respect. They've been wrong about everything from the Iraq War to the security state to antitrust action and more 3/
1/ The cave above the cave is realizing much of the online and anonymous right is akin to crabs in a barrel, instigating petty fights, self-ghettoizing, cultivating followings on self-destructive LARPing that makes young men hate women almost as much as they their irrelevancy
2/ Basically teaching people that the most important thing is online beefs for attention while LARPing about returning to tradition but making young men unmarriable. Interesting so many of these people are unmarrked, childless, and catty which is, you know, not a masculine trait
3/ A decent movement is one that gives young men and women hope for a better future with families and a decent *real* way of life--which is beyond these crabs in a barrel
