Remember when Musk and Zuckerberg were gonna fight? Feels a lot like that, but older and somehow even less interesting.

I’m old enough to remember that we had actual debates between opposing candidates, but I’m in my 40s and not interesting

Yep. I remember the McCain vs Obama debates. I remember thinking their policies were pretty similar, and either would probably govern decently enough. I wasn’t a Dem or Rep, though I had voted mostly blue thus far.

But then McCain picked Palin as his running mate, and I saw the VP debates. And holy shit did that make the choice easy, and Red has just been getting more and more extreme ever since.

I think Republicans saw how popular Palin was, not just in spite of, but because she was so fucking dumb. Then they realized their voters didn’t really give a shit about policies, character, or the ability to govern. Their media bubble created the perfect atmosphere for a person like Trump to get elected. And they clearly have no problems with it, so they’ll continue the trend long after Trump’s cheeseburger clogged heart gives out.

Do you think Trump’s spray-tan would come loose in chunks, or would it stay as a single vaguely face-shaped film?
