No one on the America left would ever actually move to China because the one thing they care about most of all is being able to whine about how they’re victims of oppression and that’s the main thing that you aren’t allowed to do in China
They’re too mouthy and they know it. They’d end up in a fucking police station demanding someone call the US embassy within a year.
Only the west is prosperous enough to confidently allow our stupidest citizens to whine endlessly about bullshit
The right likes to cry about bullshit too but they only pull the “I wish I lived in Hungary” crap when there is a democratic president and their feelings are hurt.

The lefties doing this china shit do it just bc that’s who they are. They wanted to move to Yemen a year ago lol
The democratic equivalent of conservatives who say they wish they live in Hungary is the annoying liberals who threaten to move to Canada whenever a republican wins.

The lefties actually just are knee jerk America haters who get in bed with the villain of the week.
Normie democrats need to defeat the left once and for all lol. They’re our problem. We have let this get out of hand and we have to take our rabid dog behind the barn and put it down. Or else we have to stop feeling superior to republicans for failing to stop the far right.
The Democratic Party did a pretty good job for like 75 years of marginalizing the far left (with some occasional temporary lapses). It’s not like we don’t know how to do this. We did it until like a decade ago. They’re communists and we must not be associated with them.
Whenever I express this opinion the far left is like “well then you can’t blame us when we don’t vote for your candidate!” Great. Deal. You aren’t worth the trouble. Go start your own party. Call it the New Socialism Party or The USA Sucks And Its Adversaries Have A Point Party.
And while you’re at it you should take the Jews with ya!

Haha just kidding

A bit of cheeky antisemitism to lighten the mood. I know you don’t like Jews. I’m Jewish actually. We have popular opinions mostly. The Christians have grown quite fond of us actually. We get to stay.

Want to hear a funny story about Jack Nicholson? I’m bored so I am going to tell you a funny story about Jack Nicholson. My mom is dating Jack Nicholson in the early 80s and he starts getting all these letters and phone calls from a deranged fan…
And Jack Nicholson is weirded out by it enough that everyone is the house is told not to engage with this crank woman who keeps calling and professing her love for him. My mom doesn’t live with him but is staying over a lot so is also aware of this.
So one night my mom is over at his house and there is a knock knock at the door and there is some strange woman. Jack and my mom both quickly realize it is the crazy lady. She has come from Iowa or wherever to see him.

I was watching 12 ANGRY MEN last night which you might not have seen in a while but I imagine you remember the premise and the thing is the defendant on trial in that movie is obviously fucking guilty lol
A kid is charged with murdering his father. The evidence is: his father and some had a violent abusive relationship, a neighbor overheard the kid say “I’ll kill you” five seconds before the murder, a witness ID’d him as the killer from across the street, the father was stabbed with a rare if not unique knife the kid had just purchased, and the kid’s alibi is that he went the movies but he couldn’t remember the name of the films. Henry Fonda raises reasonable questions about each individual piece of evidence, but collectively this seems like a very strong circumstantial case! And the defense apparently didn’t put forward another theory of the crime.
what a coincidence that some unidentified stranger came and stabbed the father you hated with the exact knife you just bought while you were at a movie you can’t remember!

Idaho must over-index for people who don’t like interracial marriage compared to other states, but even given that, the number of people who feel that way is incredibly low and they’re even outcast fringe lunatics here!
I think the “it’s actually just terminally online people making this an issue” thing can be applied to almost everything to do with race in this country. The silent majority normie opinion remains: race is pretend, racists are bad, and colorblind society is good.
There are so few black people in Idaho that every year when I was growing up there was one week when an African American skier association would come to town and the town would have a big banner that said “welcome, African Americans!”

The tone of these posts never ceases to amaze not because I personally am unmoved by the images out of Gaza, but because the “how can you not care” thing invariably prompts me to see how they reacted to October 7th and it’s never “ the humanity!” Image
Image
Like this dude saw the stuff about October 7th and his response was to find a photo from 9 years earlier and share it as a sign that Jews are monsters lol
I don’t know how to link to the search results but you can type this in and see for yourself if I’m being unfair to him Image

One of the things that I think is good about the Abundance Agenda (even though I hate that name) is actually something that @mattyglesias said to me when I interviewed him about his book years ago and was nit picking “One Billion Americans.”
He said something like “I think Americans need something to be excited about.” A positive vision of the future that isn’t just avoiding catastrophe and gloom. And honestly that is one of the main things politically that this whole thing is getting at
It’s been since, like, the summer of 2008 that American politics has even come close to doing that. And I think that a Democratic Party that takes on the mantle of “we can do this, America rocks, and the future will be great if we just do some small things” is one that wins

This is legitimately how I felt when I read the book. My mom was dating John Belushi when he died and she is the only person on earth to have seen the video he made the night he died. Woodward was really bad to her bc she wouldn’t turn over the tape
My mom had just married my dad & Woodward wouldn’t stop harassing her and my dad happened to share a lawyer with the head of CBS where Woodward was a contributor and he got him to back off.
As retaliation in that book he calls my dad a drug addict (true) and my mom a “hard faced woman” (false)
