Considering that, iirc, the Heritage Foundation was started and supported for a while primarily with Coors money, I'm not the least bit surprised. I'd actually be more surprised if they weren't this bad. They've been part of almost everything shitty that the Republicans have done since 1973 and have a long history of racism and lies.
 
Has anyone else seen the video of the MAGA influencer who said she wouldn't care if individual states voted to bring back slavery?
 
Aw man, just saw that Zachary Levi is a modern conservative/Trumper (and apparently an anti-vaxxer too). That's disappointing tbh. LOVED Chuck. And Shazam was fun too. Oh well.
 
And holy shitballs, can we all stop saying "Democrat Party" and doing the MAGAts' work of spreading this absurd term only meant as a pejorative anyway?

On conservative media - of course - they say it like they all have the same verbal tic, but just this morning, I've seen two librul media guest panelists refer to it as that and they are NOT helping. As I tell my relatives who also parrot it, we don't say the "Republic Party" or the "Republic candidate."

Democrat - singular term for someone who associates with the Democratic Party
Party - a group; a celebration; (v) to celebrate

"Democrat Party" - same usage as "irregardless" - not a term.

Democratic Party - the party of the Democrats
democratic candidate - a candidate, regardless of party, who is running for office under the framework of a democracy
Democratic candidate - a candidate from the Democratic Party running for office

Appreciate y'all letting me vent. k thx bai

Have you guys noticed that Trumpers are just way more vocal? Offering up their misguided opinions desperate to let you know that they're Trumpers... almost like they're mining for new members.

Isn't that pretty much a tenet of a cult? Keep your membership numbers up through recruitment and thus, keep the cult going.

I have seen one, I'm assuming it's the same one.

In the one I saw, you can tell she hadn't actually thought through the topic in any depth and basically got led into saying it. She knew she wasn't supposed to agree but that not agreeing cut against her argument for "state's rights" on any number of other topics. In short, she's an idiot and not a serious person.

I honestly believe black celebrities do this for the attention.

I'd guess for the money. As far as attention seeking, I think that would apply to the Hulk Hogans of the world as well.

I think a lot of folks do stuff for attention. And I think celebrities of all stripes think their opinions matter more than they likely should because they are famous.

It's not surprising that some amount of celebrities would end up going for Trump. He wants to cut their taxes, which they are likely acutely aware costs them quite a bit of money, plus he tells successful people that they've earned what they've gotten and that all the credit is theirs. That is very likely to resonate with a number of celebrities, especially those in fields where they are likely to see themselves as "self-made" and not part of a large system that helped them succeed. And, based on real world examples, it also seems that Trump appeals to those celebrities who are on the downside of their careers and are perhaps no longer as relevant as they once were.

In that sense, it's not surprising that Le'Veon Bell might be a Trump supporter.

Absolutely. I didn’t articulate myself very well.

I feel like when someone like Bell steps out and makes a public stance supporting Trump it’s more shocking and makes more waves and therefore garners more attention.

There’s nothing surprising to me about Hogan supporting Trump.

Tulsi announces what we all already knew anyway - that she's a modern Republican and she's joining the Trumpublican party.

Shocked I tell ya - SHOCKED!

LOL at the notion that she was still a Democrat, or perhaps ever seriously was one. I don't care how many liberal positions you claim to have, true liberals would never side with Trump nor join his party, as what they stand for is anathema to liberalism and tolerance and "independent thought" generally. Looks like she's seen how great the grifting is on that side of the aisle and has decided to join up.
