My lib friend, unprompted, posted this bullshit
(hexbear.net)
Utterly fucking incredible. No one said anything, posted any memes. He just posted this out of the blue. Just fucking incredible. They will march in to hell screaming at everyone around them for not voting hard enough. Like just what the fuck is this? Who is this for, now, in 2024, after this debate? What do they think posting this bullshit will accomplish? Biden just spent 90 minutes shitting himself on stage and failing to finish sentences and their immediate move is to scold people before they even start saying the emperor has no clothes?
I look down at my "chicken" and find that it is a platter of shit with rusty nails in it
Once you notice how these lib columnist assholes only ever articulate their terrible ideas as castle-in-the-sky hypotheticals because reality is too dicey, you never unsee it. The Freidman Special.
The peak of liberal political analysis is just analogy.
Trump is Voldemort and Hillary is Hermione Granger.
Trump is Jojo Siwa and Biden is Billie Eilish.
Fucken, whatever it is all it amounts to is this aesthetic "I don't like the bad thing because the bad thing is tacky and lowbrow/threatens to destroy the world but I like the good thing because it's nice and refined and clever/is the thing that's going to save the world".
That's all they can ever do.
"Biden is like liquid medicine: not something that is your preference to drink, it's bitter and uncomfortable but ultimately you know that what is more important is your own health–the health of the nation and of the world–than drinking coke instead.
Meanwhile Trump is like ipecac. People drink it because they think it will get rid of the problem and it might just do that but you're going to make yourself very sick in the process, you're going to create a huge mess, and you will feel weakened and full of regret for your choice by the end of it. Then you are going to need someone to come along and start cleaning up the mess that your poor decision-making has wrought."
It's so incredibly smug and self-congratulatory. Usually it's really wordy and the analogy becomes more tortured as the whole thing progresses.
