I find it interesting the right-wing influencers seem like they were primed to claim the election was stolen
Even Trump isn’t bothering with it. Seems like it was too decisive of a result for them to even try challenging
This dumb bitch. Republicans control Texas & the federal government until January. Did they steal the election from themselves?
No need to call her a bitch ^^
Nah, she’s a bitch. You’re free not to use that word, I’m free to use it, c’est la vie. Unless you’d have preferred I call her a cunt, because I’d be happy to oblige.
Its a realy sexist word you can hate her all you want but this kinda language affects all women :(
Etymologically speaking bitch refers only to women, but in modern usage the pejorative is used for both genders
It’s pejorative for men because it implies you are a woman, you fuckwit
What’s next, are you going to say “pussy” is unacceptable for the same reason!?!?
jk I know you and wezzzy are right.
Words exist in context. If I called my female boss a bitch because I perceived her as domineering or demanding, that’d be out of line. If I call someone a dumb bitch for running one of the most toxic accounts on social media posting nonsensical disinformation, that’s very different. While I understand that being called a bitch can be very hurtful, I’m not calling you one, I’m calling someone else one, so being offended on their behalf is silly. I’m not gonna censor myself because someone might have a negative association with a word. And before someone says “I’ve heard the same logic applied to the n word” cool well I’m not applying it to the n word, I already don’t say that so I don’t need to censor myself.
Just take the bitch part away and substitute it for something else like retard or the nword and think for a second how the usage of this word can still affect the broader demographic
Bruh. Are you really gonna act like bitch is on the same level of offensiveness as the n word? You’re either being retarded or disingenuous.
Did i say bitch is on the same lvl as the nword? Please read my comment again and just try to make sense of it :)
Not the women who aren’t bitches, since it’s not directed at them.
I’ve seen people use that exact justification for the n-word.
If you’re really gonna try and act like bitch and the n word exist on the same plane of cruelty and offensiveness you’re just being flatly disingenuous.
Cool, good thing I’m not then.
Can you think of any way at all how using a gender based slur might be harmfull to te gender it is reffering to even if its used against the oposit gender
Anyone can be a cunt. I actually would prefer that. A cunts a cunt, everyone knows one.
Bitch is what some knuckedragger yells at a woman when she rejects him again
That’s fair. The way I see it, dick, bitch, cunt, asshole, cock etc all mean the same thing. You’re effectively calling someone a jerk. Getting nitpicky over which is ok - and which isn’t - is a waste of energy in my book. Just because somebody else uses the word more virulently doesn’t somehow mean everyone who calls someone a bitch is evil. Part of language is intent and context. If I called a woman a bitch because she was intense or intimidating, that’d be out of line. If I call someone a bitch because they write stupid shit like this and run an account like that, I feel like I’m doing alright.
You raise valid points, and context definitely matters, but I think when it comes to language it should be decided by the consensus within the minority it was originally used to describe.
For example, most of the disabled community agrees “r-tard” is offensive these days, so it’s use has gone down. Just like “gay” before it. And white folks still argue the n-word should be fine for everyone to use if they end it with an a.
I’m not saying minorities can’t reclaim words, and language definitely changes with time. But most women I interact with get uncomfortable when men around them say “bitch” routinely.
I call men bitches daily.
Eh. Loomer has been advocating for mass deportation of Muslims for her entire career.
The shoe fits.
Okey so she is a rasist freak no need for the sexsist “shoe” :)
Anyone have a memed version of this

I would say 100%. Thanks for playing the probability of past events game.
Even ignoring the past event thing, the chance is very high, because the events are naturally correlated. Everybody felt the same raised fuel prices.
Now if it was the chance of uncorrelated events, the chance would be essentially zero.

Just a PSA that it’s a creepy source, so don’t trust it much.
It does explain the weird way that the question answers itself at the end without its author seemingly realising it. There aren’t the numbers to make it mathematically plausible to shift further right if you’re already at that extreme.
MAGA people won’t understand that. They’ll just think it’s impossible every county went blue, despite that not being what the chart says

Don’t mess with gas prices or people get upset. Or Texas, I guess
Honestly, it probably is as simple as that. Unfortunatly it’s not people waking up and being “wow, GOP are evil”, they just noticed something that impacted them directly and so they went out and voted. Thats probably why Trump won in 2024 too, people just saw high prices during biden’s presidency and decided to vote for the 2016-2020 prices.
Ummm, excuse me, the Gulf of WHAT?
It’s like some people don’t want to obey the divine procomations of Dear Leader. In my household we already refer to the so called Alantic and Pacific Oceans as The Trump Ocean and ThePresident DJT Ocean so he knows that we support everything he commands!
If we considered '24 as a single point, then regression to the mean (thinking, as is pretty accurate across most states, that the split between d/r is often a few points off of 50/50) would suggest a large swing back towards ‘neutral’ from a +14 point advantage.
So, even discounting the idiocy that is the current american administration and its effects on voters, yes, I would expect most places to vote more democrat.
And the Gulf of Mexico is back again!
Even though Oklahoma stayed red, every county shifted Democrat.
High because it’s difficult to get more people into the cult when there are already so many of them.
Actually, his cult has shrunk. By a lot. It’s been some popcorn-munching fun as a cult survivor.
… well, in a disaster-movie way, and I hate living in the disaster movie. But nodding and going, “Yep. Yep, you found out your life is a lie. Aaaand there’re the tears, the mental breakdown. Just let it all out, honey.”
My friend said this pattern has happened to every single US president ever except J bush (they lost the midterm elections to the opposing party on their second term). Is there data and facts on it?
Yes the president usually loses the midterms that’s true, however usually not at THIS scale
To be fair, most presidents don’t strap oil prices to a rocket and send them into fuckin orbit.
Clinton did fine in 98. Reagan did fine in 86
Not sure if you’re joking? Those elections didn’t work out for the president’s party Edit: oops I see the Dems gained a few house seats in 98, zero in the senate.
I’m more looking for actual stats
Did you find them?
Our friend provided this link: https://history.house.gov/Institution/Majority-Changes/Majority-Changes/
I think the intro answers it:
the House has changed majorities in a midterm election a little more than one-third of the time. But of the total 19 House majority changes in that time span, including presidential and midterm election years, more than three-quarters have occurred during a midterm.
Cope, seethe, mald, etc. you transphobic waste of oxygen.
Let them cry foul! Agree emphatically when they say it was rigged! Encourage them to take up arms. We need an excuse to finish Sherman’s work. Showing them mercy in 1865 was a deadly mistake for us.
As long as conservatives continue to live, they will continue to oppress everyone around them. Always. They will never stop. If we allow them to continue to exist, they will bring us back into fascism. We need to finish them or next time will be MUCH worse for us.
Eat shit bitch!
