The hillbilly trope for Trump supporters is counterproductive.

Wealthy white, black folks and Latinos did just as much to get Trump into power.

The liberal elitism so many of y'all cling to will only hurt the left even more.

liberals are fucking stupid too….
but watch a jan 6 video and tell me they’re not mostly rednecks.
also, the election was heavily rigged, your stats are from a lie.

Huh, never really considered that.

Do you think the levels of "caricaturization" (my phone doesn't like that one, so I mean turning the "enemy" into caricatures) and satire directly correlate to feelings of fear or loss of control, maybe? Those in power don't seem to use satire much, if at all.

So yeah, I agree that it's probably counterproductive, but it also seems to be a somewhat instinctual response, and therefore it should probably be guarded against in particular. Unless I'm overlooking some hidden benefits that aren't just racist to some extent...

That's a perfectly cromulent word. Me? I use toonification

Trump cannot play golf and care about egg prices same time. Priorities, you know ...?

we'e on the verge of a bleed-from-your-ass pandemic like we haven't seen in more than a hundred years because of American farming practices, and all Americans care about is the price of eggs

So.. What you are saying is that your anus is bleeding?

How about you tell me where I lost you, and I'll fill you in.

I think they were referring to the new pandemic part.

Well our health is in the hands of an anti-vaxxer with brain worms who' s floating some pretty fucking stupid ideas. So that makes our populace a lot more vulnerable to disease. So a new pandemic is back on the table.

The risk is higher yes, the way you stated that made it seem like there was something beginning to spread or that was very imminent... Like if the most recent bird flu had jumped to humans. That's why I was asking. Definitely agree there is more risk, but I wasn't sure if there was something going on we weren't aware of.
