I would love millenials and GenZ to bury this, but... uhhhhhh
Hopefully, I will get to contribute to that shortness of breath.
Can we please get this man and some of his energy running for office? I really want to see more people that are as well spoken as this guy getting on stages and torching the establishment in speeches and debates.
"...doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result." So long as we are stuck in our archaic form of government with de facto two parties, 18th century notions of accountability, and ethics standards that make Burger King appear admirable, the cycle will keep repeating. There will probably always be terrible people among us. When a small group can seize easily seize a party that sits at around half of political power and just needs a slight advantage to take full control of the country, the path will remain winding and difficult.
A Louisiana man said during a state Senate redistricting hearing that MAGA was "the last breath of the Confederacy."
In an emotional speech on Monday, the resident who identified himself as Marshawn said he had "zero doubt" that Republicans in the state would pass a map that erased majority-Black districts.
"If y'all can give us less than zero seats, you would do it. Y'all do this under the orders of somebody that said the Civil Rights Act was harm for the white people, that it caused reverse racism," he explained. "RFK said that Black children are overfilled on antidepressants and that they need to be re-parented on different forms, all of them. Pete Hegseth constantly brings Doug Wilson to the Pentagon to give a prayer service. Doug Wilson is the same pastor that said that slave owners were on strong spiritual ground."
Marshawn argued that the only reason Republicans supported redistricting is that President Donald Trump demanded it.
"So as far as I'm concerned, if you hear as one of these TrumpRepublicans, you already showed us who you are. You showed us what you want to do. And I believe the country as a whole is rebuking your party. Y'all are in a death spiral. That's why you have to redistrict," he observed. "That's why y'all have to cheat. That's why Trump got to go to Texas and say he entitled to five more seats. It's because y'all know what y'all doing is abhorrent."
"But the beautiful thing is, the children that y'all have made, and the people that's younger than y'all don't support none of this racism that y'all want," the man continued. "The MAGA party is the last breath of the Confederacy, and I'll be happy to see millennials and Gen Z. bury y'all. There will be no more of your party. The midterms gonna come, y'all gonna get wiped out."
The man concluded by asserting that "Trump gonna get dragged out of the White House, and I'm gonna love every second of it."
"Because y'all loved every second of the suffering that he calls to everybody in this country. And worldwide, we starve in Cuba. We bomb Nigeria. We holding Zimbabwe and Zambia hostage for their minerals. We don't want to give them AIDS support," he added. "The pro-lifers that say all life is special, y'all letting kids die of AIDS. What part of your Bible say that? Point out the scripture. I think everybody would love to see it. And we would love to see y'all in the midterms."
Just listened to the interview with the AZ sec of state. Simultaneously confidence building and also frightening in how liberals just insist that imaginary forces of good will win the day.
But they do though. The problem is the timeframe isn't fixed. Could be tomorrow could be 20 years. That's the monkeys paw in action.
The imaginary forces of good are always just over the horizon for some reason.
Sorry, I'm not a big fan of comic books or Disney.
?
"Monkeys paw" is a reference to an old short story, and in this context it boils down to "be careful what you wish for"
I think he was going for the "and everyone lived happily ever after" business common to tgose stories. Reality tends not to wrap up so neatly.
Nah I was more going for things never happen as we expect or hope.
I appreciate the sentiment, but how many breaths do these bastards have?
As many as they can as long as we keep giving them oxygen.
Try giving them Pb with a Cu jacket.
Does seem like quite a few
I hope he's right but it's probably just the "last breath" until the next "last breath".
I wish winning the midterms was enough to fix this problem.
It’s a start, but there is so much more work to do, and people will need to learn to live with their heads outside of their asses. Sadly most folks seem to think the midterms are the one weird trick that will allow them to shove it straight back up..
it wont, since gop states are already gerrymandering, purging voters as we speak, lousiania, texas, tennessee, florida are the notable oens. Also the complicity of the house and senate dems who made thier alliance pretty obvious to israel.
IMO, he's already re-elected... BTW how about those files?
🔥
Just remember, he controls the military.
He doesn't control his shriveled brain let alone his own incontinent bowels. This charade is 100% perpetuated by his nazi handlers.
Those filth will face their Nuremberg. Either by the recovered government, or by we the people.
I hope the people step up their efforts. As a Canadian on the outside looking in, the protests and strikes haven't seemed to amount for much so far. They need to be a consistent effort. Don't get me wrong, they're a good start, you guys just aren't going far enough and long enough with them.
someone put that dude in office already
Does anyone have a link to his campaign website?
Someone got a direct video link of this? I wanna share on my socials
I thought that title said Fieri for a second
Man.....Guy Fieri was an unexpected bingo card space in the 2026 calander for.....
checks notes
......connecting in a meaningful way with Gen Z to burn down the confederacy.
Gotta say. Didn't see that one coming, but if anyone knows anything about burning, it may as well be the guy with fire on his shirt.
Guy Fieri is an alt right sympathizer btw. Not the worst of them, but he’s not out to remove Trump either.
Flavortown has fallen.
When'd that happen?
