Both Sides: Why we don't fuck with the GOP

I’ve spent a lot of my life sizing up political talent. The secret of success as a political consultant is working for candidates who are going to win anyway.

The talent disparity between the Dem and R parties is like nothing I’ve seen. What happened? R’s became more white, more evangelical, more angry when the rest of the country was becoming less white, more secular and more optimistic.

The better candidates were drawn to the D party. Trump exposed the Republican party as a fraud and now you have freaks like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk picking a freak like J.D. Vance. It takes a long time to develop talent and the R’s have squandered decades.

He subconsciously contradicted with the whole peaceful slavery mumbo jumbo. To say things are worse off now and describe it with the adjective of peaceful is a misnomer at best. That's the thing with these MAGA kewns, they tend to throw out these nebulous terms trying to sound smart and end up looking foolish when you decompose their arguments like that Byron Donalds fool.
You can't have peaceful slavery. There's no peace when someone is allowed to treat you as property.

A conversation I had with a Trumper last night...

Him: "I like Mellencamp's music. Sucks he's a stupid liberal Democrat, though."
Me: What's your beef with Democrats?
Him: "Are you a Democrat?"
Me: Yes.
Him: "You need to change your ways."
Me: Why's that?
Him: "You actually like Kamala?"
Me: I do.
Him: "You need to change your ways. She's a communist-Marxist-socialist."
Me: Those terms aren't identical. Do you actually know what they mean?
Him: "Yeah"
Me: Okay, what do they mean?
Him: "What about inflation?"
Me: What about it?
Him: "She had 3.5 years to do something about it, and nothing."
Me: That's not true. First off, she's Vice President, not President. Secondly, she broke the Senate tie to pass the Inflation Reduction Act. Not a single Republican voted for it."
Him: "Yeah, inflation"
Me: Inflation was 9.1% and is 2.9% today.
Him: "That's bullshit. Look it up. Look it up."
Me: :: I look it up ::. Here you are. These are the inflation numbers. June of 2022, it was at 9.1%. In the latest report, it was 2.9%. Those are facts.
Him: "Fake numbers. That's bullshit. What is that, a fake news site?"
Me: It's the U.S. Bureau of Labor.
Him: "Whatever"
