Biden isn't exactly a great guy either. Now that we don't have to worry about Trump, its time we start holding status quoists accountable.
ITradeNewds
Unfortunately the bar has been set at "be barely competent" so getting accountability in the next 4 years might be tricky...

I prefer piracy.
BillionairesShouldNotExist
Or go big and dismantle capitalism also

We can also work on dismantling 40 years of Reaganomics. Reverse the tax cuts for the rich. No more corporate welfare.
sevendragonsandababy
Yeah Reganomics (and American capitalism in general) both thrive off exploitation of an "underclass" and are both inherently racist
dudds6699
What if I told you that should be step one or two to help dismantle white supremacy?
TheAnswerWasAlwaysMoreLube
This! People are angry because they are worse off even when the economy is booming. This makes it appealing to resort to scapegoats.

If Lincoln Project gets out of actual politics and goes into journalism/ousting bad politicians I would be cool with that

Don't forget, Bitch McConnell still represents Kentucky. For reasons which, frankly, baffle me.

Have you ever considered a Campaign Finance Reform amendment?

More like, time to hold to account the guy we elected instead. Stop pretending he’s gonna be good at this automatically.

I must admit, Trump felt SO GOOD to hate, there's a hole left in me now.

You know how Van Helsing was constant, nonstop action, with a stupid cheesy villain, and it still sucked out loud? A lot like that.
Lanhdanan
Its about time I give that movie another rewatch. Great flick.
batatatat
I think it’s on Hulu, or maybe it was Netflix. I watched it the other day. Still such a great movie
Lanhdanan
I have it downloaded here somewhere. Never let a good movie stay out of reach.
marteney1
Took my son to watch it for the first time at a local drive-in a few weeks ago. He absolutely loved it.
Guy954
My wife had somehow never seen it and was put off by the name which I never even thought bc I knew how amazing it is. She is now a fan.
Jaymezians
#1 greatest movie ever made. People can agree or be wrong.
pygmypufftrampstamp
My engagement ring has "as you wish" engraved on the inside. You might say we are fans.
Jaymezians
If you're not married yet, you should have whoever marries you say, "Mawige." Like from the movie.

Actually our officiant was awesome and kept saying lines like that under his breath through the ceremony to keep us smiling naturally

BlackHartMTB
I was just thinking yesterday the comedy/tragedy movie will have to at least be a Lotr length trilogy.
BlackHartMTB
It starts with trump in the back of limo while his chauffeur does his paper route, pretend to be a man of the people, it ends with treason.
keoghberry
the treason at the end will be like lotr ending where it's actually 5 endings, treason 1, treason 2, treason 3
BlackHartMTB
Like nesting treasons.
meloncauly
Omg you're a real person. I've never seen you comment on a post before.
CanadianMadCow
All the news stations have nothing to report on anymore. Though I bet they'll try to follow Trump around for a little while.
PennysWorthOfTea
They'll probably return to shaming BLM for not being polite enough when protesting continued police brutality.
evilspyre
Thats when they will focus on the tiny things that the president does wrong, mispronounces 1 word wrong, or wrong coloured suit etc.
CanadianMadCow
Exactly.

Davidlorian
Almost like we have a class supremacy problem disguised as a race problem designed to keep the majority of people at each other's throats.
msftensoc365
I see your point but I think the phrase moreso refers to the fact that some people believe that white people are better than anyone else.
TheBasementNerd
I've never personally met a rich supremacist. They've always been poor, and they don't give a shit about you either. They care about ideals
unclesmeatball
That's a pretty defensive take on it. Systemic racism does not make things easier for whites- but that hurdles exist for non-white people

rayfay
We have a class problem and race problem. They are not mutually exclusive. They're not saying being white means you automatically have /
rayfay
and easier life, it's just that large groups of people don't specifically try to make your life worse just because you're white.
Musclethorpe
Now imagine having that exact life, except with black/brown skin. It's an extra disadvantage. That's all white privilege means.
Kbantar
I don't have it easier, because I'm less likely to get shot by cops. But those that are more likely sure AF have things harder.
grandestoptimist
Is that white supremacy or systemic racism though, or are they the same thing? I thought white supremacy was more of an individually held
grandestoptimist
belief in “white power”, whereas racism was more focused towards keeping minorities beaten down.

I'm more concerned about all the comedians and talkshow hosts. 70-90 % of their material just went to Mar-A-Lago

Trump makes for lazy comedy. What's the fun in just repeating something crazy he said? Getting rid of him will Make Comedians Think Again.

Actually professional comedians were getting flustered because Trump kept doing all their jokes but for real.

Yeah, comics I follow said the same thing. You couldn’t put-do the mans own self parody

Isn’t it amazing that Trump murdered the concept of satire. It just does not hit the same way. During or at the end of his presidency
Alex514
People had the same concerns when W. Bush left office, dont worry, comedy always finds a way

So in 8 years we'll get a POTUS so crazier and stupider that'll make us feel good about Trump?

What pisses me off about him is it’s manipulation. He’s not stupid. He knows all about it. But he knows his base is stupid. Opportunist fuck
