Just going to preface this by saying that I absolutely do support vote by mail, it's objectively a good thing

However, there's a problem that should be considered in that it can create opportunities for coerced voting either within a household, or by requiring someone to send a photo of their form.

The former being more of a problem than the later

Seems desperate; can't wait

TIL 60+8=78

You can check the community modlog

Nevermind, seems that's what you did.

Maybe "they ain't from here"

Yeah, not all of the Midwest; hello from Missouri, home of Hawley, and the RINO hunting ad.

I'm not sure that Trump has the ability to "fire" him.

That's never stopped him before

There was research done on people who tend to support authoritarians, and one of the big commonalities was the need to see their authoritarianism as normal, as something that most people support and that it's only a vocal minority that oppose it. This "weird" narrative is proving to be so effective, I think, because it's shattering that image.

There are, I think 2 ways to counter being called weird:

1. Lean into it
2. Be normal and mock those calling you weird

They can't do number 1 because so much of their rhetoric depends on people believing their positions are popular.

They can't do 2 because they've fallen into the same media silo as their constituents, and are so insular that they've detached from what most people see as normal.

So instead, they've chosen to stand there and say "no, I'm not weird, I'm normal" which is not something someone normal does.

In the same way that publicly announcing "No, I did not fuck that couch" doesn't lead people to think "oh, this guy doesn't fuck couches"

Or like a Monty Python sketch.

In the end, clearing my shader cache seemed to fix it

In the event someone else runs into this, go Steam>Settings>Downloads>uncheck "Enable Shader Pre-Caching" then check it again

Nevermind, still poor performance

Capitalism

Fuck Hawley

Free time

They're like a dog that caught the car.

That kind of summarizes the GOP for the last decade, from Trump's first term, to abortion bans, to the maga movement in general

I would guess that it's an activity pub thing where the comments haven't actually synched to your instance yet

It's when autocorrect makes you look stupid

It's actually reasonably short. I'm not seeing anything that doesn't appear directly related to derpfakes
