the real problem with indulging comforting populist lies is not the lying, it's that you end up making decisions based on those lies which will explode in your face with very real consequences

Donald Trump agrees with the common sense position that gender-affirming transition care should be available to trans youth with a doctor's recommendation and parental consent
has anybody notified PETA that Kristi Noem got fired?
someone's gotta go get those dogs out of her house before she gets home it's urgent
everyone better be calling him SeΓ±or Talarico with some emphasis on the -rico from now until November
smokin on that Lh'owon pack, got me speaking Jjaro tongues
there is something very funny about the fact that the current voter base for left-wing populism is educated six-figure professionals
