[sniff sniff] JD, is that you?

What’s that smell? I smell something, do you?

What is it, though?

The sickly sweet smell of betrayal? No, that’s not it. This is a different kind of stank.

Ahhhh, no. I get it.

It’s loser stench, as in Trump’s acquiring it.

Trump is acquiring it, and so, the fash are distancing themselves, starting to pivot to preserve the movement after him.

They’ll rebrand, of course. The “Make America Greater” that Musk is floating is way too close to “Make America Great Again,” so it’s probably a transitional name, and they’ll probably come up with something else. But the sick, brutal, desperately stupid biological determinism, racism, and fascism will absolutely stay.

Vance got the VP nod not as a true believer in Trumpism – he’ll happily sign on to literally anything that gets him power – but as a solid member of the “melt the poors down for biofuel” crowd, and if you followed the last link, you’ll know I’m not even making that up.

G’wan, back up, read it. Here’s the link again. That’s not even the worst I have, it’s just the most convenient.

So today might be a good day to let people know exactly how evil these motherfuckers are – JD Vance in particular, but really, the entire movement of which he’s a part.

Today may be a good day for that, particularly for your Trumpy friends and family. Remember these two suggestions, of course, when giving it a go.

Why?

Because one, even people who are 100% locked in on the Cult of Trump don’t know much about Vance. They don’t have their shields already in place. Today may be a very good day for them to learn, and learn it from someone other than them.

Because two, people already kind of hate him, which is good; let’s give then some more reasons.

And because three, the difference between “mass deportations now” and “Our goal… is a humane alternative to genocide”” comes down at best to tactics. And while MAGA are losing critical voting mass starting now, the monsters behind it will try to regenerate it, and it’s always best to build up early resistance to whatever plague of evil they’re going to try to sell next.

The GOP is a Party of Plague in more way than one, you see. And the best cure is decades – literal decades – of removal from power.

In the end, that’s the one thing all politicians care about.

103 days remain.

JFC. Both the biodiesal and the Matrix options are terribly inefficient. And also inhumane and wrong, but that goes without saying. Humans do not make a good fuel source, and server farms take a massive amount of energy to run. Like, it would be less costly to just kill everybody, starting with the genius who gave us this plan in the first place. There can hardly be anybody less useful to society than him.

Obviously, that's where they'd end up.

They might be starting here, but where they'd go is deeply obvious.

What will make their movement a nonstarter is the degree of sheer and open contempt they have for everyone not in it. Trump holds everyone in contempt too, but he's good at hiding it and giving a way to earn a way out of it - absolute loyalty to him and his.

These guys can't do that. Definitionally, they can't do it - and also, personally and psychologically, they're incapable.

But it's a great way to hammer at Trump without actually hammering at Trump, thanks to his selection of JD Vance for VP.

And yes, I get that's a weird takeaway, but is it too much to ask that these authoritarian jerkfaces acquaint themselves with basic arithmetic before they open their stupid mouths?

[solarbird]

It's all so desperately stupid, so yes, it is. Sorry.

the same ruinous path down into the void

[oh6]

I'm familiar enough with Trump, Thiel, and many other people's variety of awfulness, but what started me swearing out loud at my phone was seeing Curtis Yarvin's name in connection to all this. Sigh. Of all the talk.bizarre denizens to go that way... well, perhaps it's not too surprising.
