      I mean, just use uBlock like a normal person. All these news sites are crawling with pop-ups and fly-in ads, now that the industry’s revenue stream is predicated on getting confused elderly patrons to accidentally purchase a sybian.

    come on in everybody. let’s all bitch and moan about the shitty conservative republicans while never discussing what to do about it. it’s like group therapy for limp-wristed liberals.

      lol wtf are you supposed to do about it, try to smuggle a bomb into the RNC? attempt to assassinate conservative politicians? or do you think you can just “democracy” your way to getting rid of this cancer? the first two sound like something that’d backfire in plenty of ways, and the last one is a laughable suggestion at this point.

        idk man. i guess you can just be a hopeless apathetic do-nothing that gets ground up by capitalism and leaves a hellscape dystopia for future generations to inherit.

        edit: aw look, the liberal pansies are downvoting me because they can’t deal with the reality of the situation. sorry cucks, evil wins when good people do nothing.

    Could it be because they’re not genuinely interested in governing? I’m not gonna read the article because I already know the answer. Fuck the GOP.

      The Border Crisis is predicated on US Senators shrugging their shoulders and insisting there’s nothing to be done. This helps defer more power to the courts (where they were more than eager to govern by stacking the bench with far-right white nationalists) and to the border states (where guys like Abbot can poke a drowned kid with a stick under a giant “Mission Accomplished” banner to look tough on crime).

      As soon as Trump is back in the White House, you can guarantee they’ll produce all sorts of sadistic legislative reforms that they can ram through a flimsy Democrat opposition.
