Things will have to be really really bad for MAGA to notice and then actually acknowledge issues. Even then they might use excuses and blame others.
COVID handling was objectively terrible, with plenty of examples of mismanagement, but they’ve basically completely forgotten about it and the ‘mismanagement’ they might point to are the availability of vaccines, or the ability of workplaces to make people wear masks.
They can also completely ignore the blatant corruption with employing close family members as advisors and diplomats, while on the other side, even leaning on a family name to get a job was too much. Don’t forget that they’ve also come to the conclusion than Jan 6 wasn’t bad.
No, the path to an election win isn’t to appeal to the far right cult and hope that enough of them switch sides. They appealed to people switching sides this election and it failed miserably.
Some ways needs to be found to energise your own base, and find a crisis to run on, real or exaggerated.
There are many other things too of course, but this isn’t an essay. Last thing I’d say is that just because one side embraced lunacy, it doesn’t mean the other side has to
This would be a fun bit of justice porn after seeing Trump get away with everything.
I don’t think you can pardon a civil case?
On the other hand, it might just be the first sign of the naked corruption we can expect to see more of.
If this happens, push the ball of your feet up. The ball of you feet is the front of your foot connected to the toes, helped me many times.
The minimum wage for service staff in the US is bonkers, and a great example of ‘if they could pay you less, they would’. I don’t know how often employers actually pay above 2.13 when they don’t have to, but I’ve read a lot more about being paid 2.13 plus tips than above that.
When people have moved to leaving candy out, perhaps kids thought that not having them out means you’re not participating. Also, when many houses have left them out, for efficiency, it makes sense to only go to those houses.
I’m glad to hear that the sign helped. Shows that some kids aren’t just about getting as much candy as possible but also having a bit of fun.
Rejoining the EU isn’t a priority for me right now, but in 10 years time, who knows. Ruling out all other types of relationship is stupid. I voted for labour because I wanted to see the Tories out, but if this is really their goal then they might not get my vote in the next election.
