    Thank you for posting this - I was getting ready to do the same. Beto is enough of an assclown that we don’t need to use misattributed or outright falsified memes to make our case.

    Not all democrats are bad, some are liberal vs leftists. Yet the party is clearly anti traditional American values.


    The Republicans are annoying and want too much government, but they are the only medicine available.
    In my nonplussed opinion the only distinction between the Dems and Repubs is marketing.
    Both want the same thing; more power and more money. The only question is what color the badge is.
    Assuming there’s a nuanced difference is like tearing down a GMC Canyon to point out it’s not a Chevy Colorado...when both trucks left the same exact factory.

    Insofar as guns go , O’Rourke is honestly stating the viewpoint of many in DC from both parties. Trump would do no less if it was in his financial or political interest.

    I'm still of the opinion a split POTUS/House/Senate is best for all of us. I'd prefer to keep the loons in both parties in check as much as possible.
    I don't much like having to choose between the lesser of two evils either, but sometimes idiots like these come along and make the job a whole lot easier.

    Might be time to post this again:

    https://theweek.com/articles/851426/...ieve-pizzagate

    Among other things, the Epstein case forces us to ask ourselves some uncomfortable questions about the real meaning of "fake" news. There is, or should be, more to being informed than fact-checking formalism. If you have spent the last few years earnestly consuming mainstream left-of-center media in this country you will be under the impression that the United States has fallen under the control of a spray-tanned Mussolini clone who is never more than five minutes away from making birth control illegal. If you watch Fox News and read conservative publications, you no doubt bemoan the fact that Ronald Reagan's heir is being hamstrung by a bunch of avocado toast-eating feminist witches. Meanwhile, Alex Jones's audience will tell you that America, like the rest of the world, is ruled by a depraved internationalist elite whose ultimate allegiance is not to countries or political parties or ideologies but to one another. These people believe in nothing. They will safeguard their wealth and privilege at any cost. They will never break rank. And they will commit unspeakable crimes with impunity, while anyone who dares to speculate openly is sued or hounded out of public life as a kook.

    Which of these worldviews is closest to the truth?

    They tried that in NY and CT.
