Even the conservative Democrats like Richard Shelby made friends with Black voters because they were a key constituency of Democratic primary elections. White conservatives and moderate/liberal Black voters often made concessions. That all ended after 2008, and Republicans took the State House for the first time since Reconstruction in the 2010 GOP wave election. Nowadays... you have to search far and wide for an open White Democratic voter in Alabama. There are 2 White Democrats in the State Legislature... House and Senate. All moderate white elected officials are running on the Republican ticket because Obama broke these people. https://ballotpedia.org/Republicans_gain_control_of_the_Alabama_state_legislature_for_the_first_time_in_136_years I’m pretty sure it happened due to Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, and the rest of the right wing media that sprung up even before Obama. But it did keep getting worse and president black guy became a perfect rallying point for them to consolidate against. MadMax 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsntLifeFunny Posted December 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 Bankman-Fried has been detained in the Bahamas in what amounted to a very fast investigation because the dumb fuck admitted to his crimes. GOP response: he's obviously in with the Democrats and they're silencing him! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reo Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 So apparently Trump has this big announcement he's supposed to make today. What are the odds he actually wants the GOP to make him speaker of the House and that's why the far right wing is refusing to vote for McCarthy? I'd be hilarious if he announces tonight something like he's "running for house speaker" or something b/c he doesn't really get how it works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be hilarious if he announces tonight something like he's "running for house speaker" or something b/c he doesn't really get how it works. TBH I'm definitely not paying attention on that front - his public announcements - but when was the last time that he had a "big announcement" that it actually was a big announcement? Seems more like the end of show sign off for 1950s soap operas - Will Marsha leave Greg?!? Can Peter overcome his erectile dysfunction in time for the big wedding!?! Stay tuned tomorrow! I used to wonder how a new religion based upon the Prophecies and Divinations of a what really was just a con man like Joseph Smith could take hold and flourish in a relatively modern world like Mormonism did. (To be fair, I've got tons of Mormon friends out here and for the most part I'll just say it's working for them.) Much less something like where L. Ron Hubbard flat out said he wanted to invent a religion, "where the money is" and easier than writing successful SciFi books. The past few years have made it clear the advances of modernity has little to no effect on ability to believe. That the right person at the right time with the right words can rush into a void, filling the hollow space many have inside, creating fellowship and bonding through something shared. Religion, Fascism via Cult of Personality... doesn't matter. All the same psych mechanisms. The casually curious long off the train now, those who heard DC is a swamp (pretty much) and thought let's try something new. Now more and more mid-range party loyalist types are following the lead of the talking heads and are willing to move on. True believers left now. If only there were another Utah for him. Maybe Epstein's island is available. Heard a vacancy popped up. reo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
