    The 2024 United States Presidential Election Thread

    It goes to show the power of the media. Both as news, the lost cause mythology, and as entertainment, Birth of a Nation, to shape the hearts and minds of society. That’s why it can be dangerous to let media go unchecked. There’s immense responsibility to running the narrative.

    The 2024 United States Presidential Election Thread

    The daughters of the confederacy didn’t just erect the statues. They were the architects of the lost cause mythology. While certain pieces of what would become the narrative would start to form immediately in the aftermath of the Civil War, it wasn’t really until the daughters of the Confederacy...

    I’ll circle back to you Grim when I have more time to think about that.

    I don’t hate it. He definitely would’ve been a better running mate than Vance too.

    The 2024 United States Presidential Election Thread

    This. The problem is, it’s far too common to see people literally out their own party members that voted against their party. Especially the Maga crew have continuously tweeted out Republicans that voted against the republican party and it’s just insane to me. They’re not voting how you wanna...

    The 2024 United States Presidential Election Thread

    The problem with things like the parties themselves is, it’s not an abstract notion like left or right or liberal or conservative. It’s an actual organization and the unfortunate truth is the Democrats did found the KKK and were the ones fighting to preserve slavery. Which is why I don’t know...

    Don’t get me started on the term RINO. I fucking hate it. It’s so stupid.

    What sucks being an older Republican is as a Neocon from the Bush era, I’m hated just as much by the MAGA movement as I probably am with the progressives.

    The 2024 United States Presidential Election Thread

    I grew up through Clinton and Bush and vividly remember when Democrats and Republicans overlapped on a lot of issues and really on split on the larger broader stuff. The idea of a conservative Democrat or a Liberal Republican wasn’t out of the norm. I miss it.

    I think that’s what makes Hitler so fascinating is because it wasn’t just simply the people decided they wanted him, and then he went buck wild on them. He slowly gained their trust gave them a scapegoat, put his Nazi party in positions of power, and then he pretty much created the fascist...

    This we agree on. Like I was said, in the beginning, I wasn’t correcting the election misconception because I sided with the other side of the argument whatsoever.

    The 2024 United States Presidential Election Thread

    The bad guys never typically think they are the bad guys. I guess is a very true thing, but what I’m trying to say is he wasn’t elected as a chancellor either. After failing his election, the president just simply appointed him chancellor in the same way that say Donald Trump appoints his new...

    I disagree that he earned his position of power democratically, but I do agree Hitler was immensely popular in Germany. He was pretty much the genesis of the term cult of personality. Germans really did gravitate to his message. The treaty of Versailles practically emasculated the German people...

    The 2024 United States Presidential Election Thread

    I want to put out a disclaimer that I’m not taking a particular position on Trump being good or bad based on being elected, but I do want to correct a slight misconception. Hitler was not in fact elected. While he came in a strong second place, he lost the 1932 Presidential election. However...

    Nick Aldis announces the new WWE Womens United States Championship

    Also, Bayley’s subsequent heel character and her current babyface character are so much better than her 2017 hugger stuff and her defeats to Bliss played a decent part in her change.

    Nick Aldis announces the new WWE Womens United States Championship

    I’m fine if it never comes to pass because quite honestly Liv Morgan is actually kind of a living reincarnation of that currently. Her character work has come along way and the fact that she’s actually managed to get the best of Rhea on a significant basis of the storyline is just a breath of...

    Nick Aldis announces the new WWE Womens United States Championship

    I remember all the groaning, but I personally loved it. Because it was different from what the WWE usually does. The WWE tactic is usually a dominant babyface champion humiliating the entire heel locker room. Heels made to look like idiots. It’s literally the exact same thing they usually do but...

    Nick Aldis announces the new WWE Womens United States Championship

    Exactly. My enthusiasm for Bliss kinda evaporated in those four years. To the point I wouldn’t even be broken up if she retired to stay with her family. Which is just crazy when she was my favorite female performer 8 years ago.

    Nick Aldis announces the new WWE Womens United States Championship

    That’s been my point. Outside the initial Wyatt stuff and that match with Orton, she’s been doing a whole lot of nothing. And she’s also had a lot of random absences from the ring. Not counting the pregnancy. There was a tweet she made during one of them where she publicly said she had no idea...

    Until Blaze said she was posting training videos, I actually kinda assumed she was quietly retiring.
