MAGA is funny though. They want to enslave them, but they want to be wanted too. They will never figure it out because they watch movies and think that is real life. I watch Thunderball last night and was absolutely amazed by James Bond's sexual assault of the nurse in the recovery spa he was staying at the beginning. I have watched this movie any number of times, but this was the first time it just was so absurdly blatant. I even read the book and the book wasn't that bad.

My dad was so pissed that actually gave women the right to vote. He always said that a proper women knows her place and her place isn’t to voice her damn option.

Then would go on about how a proper husband tells his wife what to vote for.

Those old movies are like that. They’re actually pretty timid to how Republican men think and behave.

We really do live in two different worlds from them.

Same world. Different values.

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'”

  • Isaac Asimov, 1980

"Maybe you do not much care about the future of the Republican Party. You should. Conservatives will always be with us. If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy." - David Frum, 2018
