Political Memes

WINK

I learned a cool magic trick that changes the color of people's posts! Check it out:

I have some ideas about what we should do with Musk and Trump, but they're against instance rules

If at first you don’t succeed…

Also, compare the breakdown of the 2020 race:

Biden's campaign directly spent over $1B, and over half a bil of outside money (SuperPACs, I assume). Trump "only" managed about $1B combined.

IIRC, money spent directly by the campaign is also worth more; they get preferential ad rates.

Harris has already broken $100M in the first few days. Some of that was pent up donations from donors who wanted Biden out.

Our whole schtick is (supposed) to be that anyone who wants to come here and make a life here is an American.

There's plenty of things to be pissed at Musk for, especially in relation to how his family made their money in Apatheid South Africa (emerald slave mines), but him being born elsewhere isn't it.

Eh, now you're getting xenophobic.

There's a ton of reasons to criticize musk on without resorting to such stupid argument "he's not a real 'murican"

Wait until you hear about this guy named Rupert Murdoch.

Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert did a lovely series about this.

But in short, Donating millions to Trump. Illegal. Donating millions to Trump PAC. Legal. Trump can not spend Trump PAC money directly. Trump can say "boy I wish I had millions of dollars in political ads in a specific states at specific times about these specific topics." Trump can also get pretty specific about the details.

He started donating as soon as Trump appointed JD Vance as his VP. Vance is a protege of Peter Thiel, a Musk partner and Silicon Valley confidant.

Nobody is going to release "the Epstein file" (whatever the fuck that's supposed to be) because Epstein was doing all sorts of shady shit on behalf of national security services in order to build compromat on people in conflict with those agencies. You didn't need Trump to make any kind of promise for that (not that he's particularly trustworthy anyway). What you needed was a guy on the inside, slavishly loyal to the Silicon Valley techbro community. And JD Vance is that guy.

He also planned to have a bulletproof window cyber truck. He should plan to get his head surgically removed from his ass. Since that is apparently where it's been for a decade.

Now that he's not running he can do a lot of last fuck yous and take the grenade for them. Don't know if he will.

Zionists aren't liberals in my book. They're just a slightly different flavor of fascists who dress up their sick ideology with a Jewish facade rather than the more traditional Christian facade.

I'm not saying that this is a good thing, but the meme really wants you to believe that ordinary people have donation limits and rich people don't. This is an oversimplification.

Sure, but it's a practical truth. Which is to say, it's true.

Now, if you want to file the paperwork to start your own superPAC as Stephen Colbert did on his show, you can do that. It wouldn't cost much. That would allow you to accept and funnel unlimited funds to whoever or whatever you wanted. The "laws" around it are ludicrous.

But if you're a regular working stiff and just want to relax and not fuck around but feel like donating to a candidate - the limit is there for you. That's the practical distinction that makes the meme true.
