If by that you mean “they followed the same standard procedure that’s been in place for the entire history of the United States” then yes, exactly.

Or he waited until the Trump campaign sunk millions of dollars into a strategy that has now been completely subverted and which they have no real way out of without a massive pivot like dropping Trump which isn’t going to happen. If that’s the case, I’d call it a pretty savvy move.

And then a bunch of people do that because “my guy is going to win anyway so it doesn’t matter” and you end up losing. Remember Brexit? never be too confident.

I bought a Reddit t-shirt in 2014…

The thing is they only need this level of fanatic obedience from their base to get IN. Once they are, and they’re able to warp the government to their vision, everything else will fall into place.

It actually is a good book. As someone from the same general area, I saw a lot of my own family and experiences reflected in his writing. I had hopes that he might step up and push for more of a class-conscious republican party until he turned out to be a fascist tool.

I spent two years working with Habitat as an AmeriCorps crew lead and it was such a rewarding experience. I learned all kinds of trade skills and got to meet so many good people from all walks of life. It gave me the direction I was looking for in my life when I needed it most.

But you can move within the US to a place where his people have less direct control over the local government. That’s what I’m doing.

Living in Ohio with my trans husband, we’re moving to Vermont this summer to get away from it all. I feel like I’m shirking my duty by taking our votes with us, but we really don’t want to be here come November. Ohio has gone to Trump two for two, and I’m not feeling lucky on number three.

My husband is FTM trans and we’re starting to get worried, living in Ohio. We’ve made the decision to move to Vermont this August because I just can’t guarantee his safety anymore. His family is wholly unsupportive and mine, while not malicious, just doesn’t get why we’re making such a big deal out something so small. It’s always “well [town name] is [town name], it’s always been rednecky, you just need to hunker down and wait for it all the blow over”. Not like this, and I don’t want to move into one of the 3-Cs just to have the whole state go tits up. It sucks, but at least in VT he’ll have access to a doctor. That and Ben & Jerry’s.

There’s an important distinction to be made between rednecks and hillbillies. The south would like you toe believe that anything non-urban is redneck, this is not so.

The problem is that’s only half the battle. What do you do when his legions of supporters decide they don’t like losing and take it out on the rest of the country?

two hours is waaaay out there guys!

My sides are in orbit! Here is a side-by side of the Alps

next to a small section of the American Rockies,

which is still nothing compared to Canada (yes there are people in that big empty area).

No offense, but true European rural doesn’t exist.

Harambe was murdered by a time traveler, there is no other option.

Honestly, /an/ is probably my favorite place on the whole internet. It’s all stoners and mycologists arguing about dinosaurs.
