1931-32 was divided by one I think?

Oh, this all is getting good …

Good god it’s really happening, isn’t it? Honestly, I’ve been starting to look forward to Trump running in 2024 so they could drag the party down then, too.

Yeah, I’m with you on that to the degree that one’s politics is real to each person, and to anyone who believes wokeism is the biggest existential threat to the human race, it’s heart attack serious. But when it comes to the sum total of politics for everyone altogether, I think wokeism falls practically off the list of serious problems facing America.

Twice in a row!

Great time to finally sack Fields.

All this does is set up the Bears to score on the last play of the game. 🦆🦆🦆

The grift continues apace …

Brushcuts bitching about wokeism is not de facto proof of wokeism. BTW, love the term “brushcut” because that’s what my dad insisted we boys wear until I was at least 12.

So you’ve had Drag Queen Reading Hour at work? 😏

I agree with this characterization in that all of these are basically interchangeable hypothetical concepts to hammer liberals with, and that have no direct bearing on the lives of practically anyone you hear railing against them.

I think anti-wokeism is at least ten times the force that people imagine wokeism to be. The only reason the average person knows about wokeism at all is because of how much conservative media and certain comedians hammer it.

Oh my god, Goff found an open man in the end zone. Alert the media.

I don’t buy that so-called “woke-ism” is a problem just because Bill Maher has hopped on that hobby horse. So they’re going after comedians. So the fuck what. Instead of whining about it and giving it oxygen, how about rising above it and starving it?

How could she have possibly known lol

Whether the dishonor will remain for Republicans once Trump is gone, as alleged by Liz Cheney.

That’s right, boys, keep up that “voters are stupid” messaging all the way through 2024. And share it with your brethren in other states while you’re at it. https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/elections/ct-illinois-gop-future-uncertainty-20221113-bovtlji5izdn5oj55y7t3lgj3u-story.html

Both our recent posts could be true and perhaps even feed off each other.

I texted my buddy right after the monologue that it will go down as an all-time classic.

Will it? I don’t know … Americans have short memories, aided by sophisticated media messaging …

The old board might have been two-thirds Republicans when I first joined. Those were the second-term Bush years. The only time I ever voted Republican was in a grade school mock election. I voted for Nixon because my mom was for Nixon (three times!), so I wanted to be on her team. But my crush at the time voted for McGovern, which made me re-evaluate my own vote. As far as adulthood was concerned, I was out on Republicans during the first Reagan years. He came in talking like a warmongering cowboy who was going to get us nuked by the Soviets, and that was all confirmed for me when he invaded Grenada. All the Republicans supported it, the only senators who did not were Democrats, and practically every US ally condemned the invasion. That was the cherry on top for me.

The white dude thing will never change. I merely thought they their votes would be crushed by everyone else.

That’s what I mean. I thought everyone could easily see the same guy I saw, but you’re right—they couldn’t. I’m talking about a lot of smart people, people ignorant of the depth of his history (e.g., mobsters) and the things he said and did (e.g., Central Park Five); people ignorant of the corrosive effect his fame had on people; and, frankly, people who wished to remain willingly ignorant, even ordinary people with mere slightly-above-average incomes, because they wanted some sweet minor tax cuts.

If I were more skeptical or even cynical, I might conclude that so-called liberal mainstream media kept wishcasting a red wave through aggressive pro-Republican reporting because of how profitable it was for them the last time liberals were scared shitless a fascist government was thisclose to knocking on their doors.
