Kamala.

Only because if Trump represents the culmination of problems we have to deal with under capitalism; Kamala represents putting those problems off and not dealing with them as long as possible.

Its sad that honestly I dont think its out of your average cops wheelhouse to gun down a 65 year old lib wearing a pussy hat for no reason.

What if Trump wins and libs start doing that? Like Indivisble with guns.

A lot of boomer behavior and beliefs make sense when you realize this. A lot of them were raised by whatever garbage was on TV due to neglectful parents.

Do yourself a favor and watch an episode of one of these shows some time. MASH, Gilligans Island, the Andy Griffith Show, etc. Pure escapism. Simple black and white moralistic protestsnt values.

Now realize that when boomers reminisce about a time when "townspeople knew the local cop" that this never existed. They are literally just going off what they seen on the andy griffith show as a kid during their formative years.

I asked her why we can fund documented genocide when we cant even provide our own people with healthcare. She just told me that was a "soundbite" and otherwise didnt process what I said.

I feel like baby boomers just cant process things that might challenge or conflict with their worldview. Which is usually morally black and white and reflective of 80s sitcoms where theres some stupid lesson at the end.

While I've certainly seen a lot of posts and cases about the other side of the coin. And not to dismiss this. I've seen plenty of stories and accounts of people who have lost family members to the cult of the "cheeto man" himself.

But my mom has gone complete bonkers since 2016 for an entirely different reason. Shes obsessed with hating Trump. From 2016-2021 it was like 99% of what she would talk about. Hell, its gotten a tiny bit better but its still like 50% on a good day of what she talks about at any given time still. During the Mueller era, she had CNN practically 24/7. So much so that one of the headlines literally burned into her TV. She would post and show anyone she talked to anti Trump memes, songs, etc. People started disconnecting from her and she just had this "Well I guess they dont like what I havr to say! They're Trumpers anyways." Pretty much lacking any self awareness into how unhinged the election made her and fully leaning into it.

This is a woman who went from not voting and not really caring for either side of the political aisle to running for and becoming a school board member. She was so insufferable in this position that she took a 4 year break because no one liked her, ran again, and resigned because no one on the board or at the school likes her.

Fortunately, I havent lived with her for the most part since COVID, aside from like 3 months when I was in between apartments due to a breakup at the time. But I do still love her and miss the old her from before Trump became president so I keep in semi touch with her.

But I had a conversation with her recently about this election that makes me question the sanity of most of these boomer libs. Despite knowing Im not voting for kamala or Trump, she keeps pushing me. Texting "your vote counts. Theres only 2 candidates" over and over. Even though I literally live halfway across the country from her in California. Shes running short of harassing me to vote for Kamala. And then out of the blue she calls me literally just to talk about this. Spews the same old zionist bullshit that "we should fund Israel, its just Bibi whos bad!" And that "Israel-Palestine is just ONE issue anyways". And so on the usual crap about J6 and shit.

I said something like "kamala and trump are both evil, Trump is just honest about it".

And she literally goes off "YOU THINK TRUMP IS HONEST! YOU MUST BE DRINKING THE KOOL AID SON! DONALD TRUMP IS ANYTHING BUT HONEST."

Basically calling me a Trumper for the mere suggestion of Trump being honest about something. Much less, honest about him being evil. Before hanging up and saying I have nothing better to do. Despite her bothering me about the subject, her calling me to argue, and her lack of being able to talk about much of anything else.

Does anyone else have any stories of crazy lib relatives post 2016? I feel like I cant be the only one.

Libs when its convicted felon vs convicted felon

I love how Harris is starting out with every advantage a candidate could possibly have and systematically blowing it.

Trump too tbh. This election feels like both candidates are doing their damnedest to throw it for the other one because neither actually wants to be president right now lol.

What are some other activation words/phrases for these people? Lmao

Dont you understand? It was all part of the master plan just so Donald "orange man" "Drumpf" can lose to a black woman.

By this logic, god sacrificed thousands of children in palestine, millions of lives during COVID, and made Hillary lose in 2016 just so DJT could lose to a black woman! It was all a giant 4D chess move where humanity was forced to lose just so we could have an opportunity to own "cheeto hitler"!

"This ones for Michael Avenatti!!"

Thats just a convoluted way to say you lack empathy.

Supposedly she was in a band called "the hot stiffs" and as a musician myself, Im super curious if they were any good. Are there any mp3s or recordings of live shows at all?

Shes punching down and its not a good look.

I was listening to a podcast she was on a couple weeks ago and tbh it looks like shes gone all in on the "obama/pod save" flavor of managerial liberalism where the focus is purely on refining the existing political structures to be more "efficient" or whatever corporate jargon.
