This is really interesting to me because Hobbs made an interesting move to NOT debate Lake. Why debate a demagogue? I like this. Deprive the demagogue of attention. As Americans we need to get back to shaming the stupidity out there. Candidates need to just turn to their fellow Americans and say, “Is this nutjob really who you want?” Which is what Hobbs did. Instead of getting dirty with the pig and arguing about crazed CRT indoctrinated children who kneel during anthems and who identify as kittens and crapping in kitty litter, Hobbs turned to her fellow arizonas and asked, “Is this nutjob really who you want?”

And thankfully, Arizona voters said “No!”

Yeah, less than 51% said no. I'm beyond happy that Hobbs won, but how can a person like Lake get within a percentage point of winning?

Fortunately I think the GOP got the message. Lets all hope team normal represents the Republican party in 2024.

True.

The same could be said about Walker. How do fellow Americans see this and think, “hell yeah, send him to the Senate!”

Tribalism definitely figures into things.

But I think a large segment of the population is prosperous, comfortable, and bored as ****. They want politics to be entertaining. They want to be the “12th man” in this football game of politics. Because the things their grandparents would’ve killed for are easily available now as modern-day conveniences, they’re seeking direction and meaning in life. Social media, teevee, and treating politics as a horse race give them that. The whole unseriousness of it drives me crazy. Remember back when Trump badmouthed Kim and then bragged about his “nuclear button” being bigger than Kim’s? We were playing with fire. Never should leaders joke around with nuclear weapons like that.

Trump, like Walker and Lake, would be terrific train accidents. train accidents, although deadly and destructive, can sort of be entertaining. You’d think after our president suggested we stick flashlights up our asses and inject ourselves with disinfectant that we would’ve learned? Apparently not. 30-40 percent of our pop wants to see a train wreck.

I’m just glad we have capable (imperfect) leaders guiding foreign policy today. Had Trump won, imagine the *********** Eastern Europe and NATO would be right now.

Westerners have it so good that when faced with minor inconveniences, they describe what they’re going through as gulags or concentration camps. They reveal both the ease of modern-day life and their ignorance of history.

300 days in lockdown is a "minor inconvenience" ???? You continue to showcase your staggering ignorance

I have a feeling what you call lockdown is different than what most people think it means. Yes, I believe the majority of Australians largely faced minor inconveniences during Covid.

MY TURN!

Were you forced to work 15 hour days?
Were you tortured and beaten?
Were you allowed to communicate with those you wanted to without fear of being executed by guards? Did you still have access to teevee, the Internet, and technology?
Could you essentially eat what you wanted?
Did you maintain possession of your house, clothing, and personal property?
Did you still live with your family?

Are you sure you lived in a Gulag?

I have some texts for you to read if you’d like to familiarize yourself with some narratives from people who actually lived in Gulags. Indeed, Let’s talk about “staggering ignorance”, shall we?

good grief you are a next level moron. Like i meant gulag literally. And you have no idea of what happened here. Do please entertain me with what you think the level of lockdown was in Melbourne for 300 days .. waiting. Be specific.

That was sort of my pt. You just missed it. We need to Stop comparing things we don’t like to the Holocaust, gulags, etc. Words matter.

It’s not my job to prove your claim. You need to support your claim of living 300 days in lockdown. Be specific. Go for it dude.

I think this election demonstrated more people want to take democracy and governance seriously, than be entertained with this hysteric level of Big Lie whining BS.

Totally agree.

It took me a bit to find this. I’ve found this enlightening as it has stayed with me for years now:

Victor Vizcarra, 48, of Los Angeles, said he would much prefer Mr. Trump to Mrs. Clinton. Though he said he disagreed with some of Mr. Trump’s policies, he added that he had watched “The Apprentice” and expected that a Trump presidency would be more exciting than a “boring” Clinton administration.

“A dark side of me wants to see what happens if Trump is in,” said Mr. Vizcarra, who works in information technology. “There is going to be some kind of change, and even if it’s like a Nazi-type change, people are so drama-filled. They want to see stuff like that happen. It’s like reality TV. You don’t want to just see everybody be happy with each other. You want to see someone fighting somebody.”

Treating politics like entertainment can really lead to bad consequences. Unfortunately, a lot of bored Americans want rodeo clowns like Lake, Masters, and Walker. It gives them excitement. It gives them meaning. It gives them that “movement” that the bored as **** middle class craves now that they’re free from the exhaustion and economic anxiety that plagued earlier generations. Their grandparents thought air conditioning, one crappy tv, and indoor plumbing was awesome. They actually had challenges, like fighting wars, dealing with polio, working dangerous jobs. Today? The bored middle class gets all upset if the porn loading on their phones doesnt load quickly enough or if our favorite restaurant has a wait. They own several flat screen tvs that collectively make larger screens than yesterday’s cinemas. Bars closed for a few days in America during. Remember this? Not being able to get her hair done cuz of Covid “lockdowns.” Oh the suffering! Fast forward to :40 seconds.
