I’ve heard this story before. It’s starting to feel like it’s the football that Lucy is holding while I run at to kick the game winning field goal.

I guess Charles Schultz just grew up in a different time, but I always wondered why Charlie Brown never snapped, and just beat the shit out of her. Not the first time she did that. That would be psycho behavior to just start beating the shit out of one of your friends for doing that ONCE…but Wendy has made a whole life reputation out of being the one who does this…EVERY…SINGLE…TIME.

So after like 10 times, I’m surprised Charlie Brown never went “Ok, you know what, come here, bitch…” and then the next day’s comic strip Wendy would have a black eye. Then, 30 years later, these youtube shows could do these low budget list videos

“Ten times sunday morning cartoons got really really dark!”

And at like number 3 would be the time Peanuts suggested that Charlie Brown punched Wendy.

And maybe like number 7 could be the time Dilbert got really biggoted towards his new trans co-worker.

And number 1 would be Jon from the Garfield comics going completely fucking insane, feeding his 12lb cat a 6lb dish of lasagna every week, talking to, and understanding his cat (but for some reason NOT his dog), and his batshit insane dating life stratagies such as hiding in womens bushes, and surprising them at work unannounced during work hours. Yes, these are all legit things I absolutely remember reading in real garfield cartoons in the 90s.

Large scale societal change doesn’t happen overnight. You have to keep pushing, sometimes for decades.

<places tin foil hat on head>

I believe that tedd cruz along with mitch mconnell and lindsey graham all cheated in their last win. All three were in what look like tight races but all three ended up winning by big-ish margins given the polling. I have no evidence other than a feeling but I just can’t shake that feeling is somehow not completely wrong.

If any of my completely unfounded conspiracy is right then Allred ain’t going to win .

<places tin foil hat on>

As someone from Kentucky, I could’ve sworn that I saw reports coming out that the margin McConnell was winning by in some rural counties was higher than the ratio of registered Republicans to Democrats. Implying that a large swath of rural democrats were voting for McConnell. Now, I don’t claim to know every democrat in the state. However, every democrat I met hates the guy and a lot of republicans hold their nose voting for him.

Also as quickly as I saw those reports, they vanished. Myriad of reasons to explain things, but sure seems odd, right?

Okay, I’m glad you said you saw reports about that too. It’s where my conspiracy theory started, but then there hasn’t been anything since so I genuinely gas lighted myself.

Hell it could be that there wasn’t anything there to report on, but it did disappear quickly and quietly.

I mean, I’m not saying it’s not possible, but it seems like this could happen by Democrats not turning out to vote as much as their Republican counterparts in those areas.

Repubs and ES&S machines. They are committing election fraud. Lindsey committed election fraud calling Georgia, that one is public knowledge. There’s no way that’s the extent of what they’re doing.

Well it’s not legally considered cheating if it’s gerrymandering.

Believe it or not, McConnell is elected by popular vote in the state. Crazy, right?

Gerrymandering does not affect state wide elections.

It does when it depresses the turnout of people who think their votes won’t do shit.

It also enables fucking around with poll sites, like closing most of the drive-through poll sites in the most populated county in Texas right in the middle of a pandemic.

I’m not Racist but why would I vote for a BLACK MAN when there’s a Perfectly good Canadian who Hates his Wife and Kids that’s trying to Steal My Money and give it to the Rich?

He might have gotten his citizenship due to the circumstances of his birth and parentage, but I’m sure I speak for most Canadians when I say: He’s not our buddy, guy!

There’s gotta be at least a few Republican men that tell their wives, “remember, vote all red down the ballot” resulting in a few votes for him.
