I think quarterback intelligence boils down to the ability to quickly proceed through a decision tree under duress, which isn't the same thing as general intelligence.

Oklahoma GOP Chair Nathan Dahm sent out this statement this afternoon, confirming one of the suspects arrested in the panhandle murders was the elected chair of Cimarron County Republican Party.

When this GOP's Senate Working Group is too woke for your material, you've officially crossed the career Rubicon, Schneider.  I'm sure you can still play a Proud Bois Charrette/Orgy at the Cheyenne Radisson Inn.  

Shit, even Jim Bruer is still getting decent gigs compared to Rob now.  And Rob was actually funny at one point.  

There's got to be a "The Right is Getting Funnier" joke in here somewhere with regard to Rob getting boo'd off the stage

Sorry to hear that.  It's always tough when it's someone you know and care about, that you absolutely know should know better.  But it's such a delicate tightwire act.  You can't just shake 'em and say "snap out of it!"  And you can't just ignore it and pretend everything is precisely the same between you.

I’m thinking about putting together a 2000 mules rebuttal and saying man let’s watch the movie together talk about it then read a few articles (like 10 of them) that have specific critiques or the news that true the vote admitted it had no evidence in court, etc then talk about it. 

I don’t know.

You don’t have to convince him to vote for Biden. You have to convince him Trump is not worth his vote.

That’s the actual assignment

I think it’s how he got snagged. He’s pro abortion, pro lgbtq, and yet his limited government and assumption it’s all corrupt got him SNAGGED. 

Ultimately, every "libertarian" is a conservative who leans fascist.  It's the most confounding thing, but we see it here all the time.

The messaging to libertarians is: your vote for a republican is for government to control your reproductive healthcare. You want the government to tell you what to do with your genitals? Hell no. Vote for RFK jr.  Dilute the republican vote to the 3rd party candidate.

I think for this guy it’s pure libertarianism and then belief that every part of the government needs to be severely constrained due to corruption.

 

He’s honestly more of an anarchist libertarian than a fascist.

There's a lot of that mindset on both sides of the political spectrum. 

Atlantic: The Americans Who Need Chaos.

Quote

White men in the conspiracy-theory study were the most sensitive to perceived challenges to status, Petersen told me. But the researchers wrote that the need for chaos was “highest among racial groups facing historical injustice—in particular, Black males.”

Anti-elite conspiracy theories and tear-it-all-down rhetoric can appeal to groups who feel, sometimes quite rightly, aggrieved by long-standing injustice.

As we spoke, I recalled some of the radical rhetoric from the summer of 2020: “If this country doesn’t give us what we want, then we will burn down this system and replace it,” Hawk Newsome, the chairman of Black Lives Matter of Greater New York, said during an interview with Fox News. “I could be speaking figuratively; I could be speaking literally. It’s a matter of interpretation.” When I think about our political and social institutions, I cannot help thinking, “Just let them all burn.”

 

Folks who have sought  to demonstrate government is incompetent by hamstringing government seemingly have won their battle. To the detriment of our society.

Hammer home that Trump is arguing that a President can do just about anything, and therefore Biden should be allowed to as well.  When they try to argue that’s not what they mean, just tell them that they are wrong and ask why they are disagreeing with President Trump. If they argue, just ask why they are against Trump.  I don’t like to gaslight relatives, but in this case I will.

Near to this is the economic situation we are in.  This has been my sense when we all repeat "they're voting against their interests!" It comes off as snobbish to me -- I know what you need and you couldn't possibly understand.  A lot these Trumptards are the losers of our society, so they vote for firebombing our society.  A chance that chaos ends up somehow benefitting is better than a status quo where they already know they will always lose, or so the mindset goes. 

 

This is a new.  We used to have substantial economic mobility (a.k.a. "The American Dream").  Not so much anymore.

Quote

Male workers in recent years may be less likely to experience upward absolute earnings mobility over their careers than in years past due to labor market changes. As seen in Figure 3, when examining two cohorts of men entering the labor force, Maume and Wilson (2015) find that men entering the labor force in the 2000s in lowerearning trajectories (“slowmillennials”) saw growth similar to those who entered the labor force in the 1980s (“slow-boomers”), while wages grew faster for men in higher-earning trajectories (“rapid-millennials” vs. “rapid-boomers”). However, “slow” and “steady” trajectory men made up a greater percent of the male workforce in the millennial cohort (33% and 57%, respectively) than in the boomer cohort (27% for slow boomers and 46% for steady boomers), suggesting that men were more likely to experience slower wage growth in the 2000s than in the 1980s.

You can't grind your way out of losing any more.  So why should we expect loyalty to the system?

A dear friend came over today to talk about the bullshit of youth little league - his give back is to coach the coachless worst team in 10U. No draft protected players, no dads to coach them, some have never picked up a bat. He and I coached together. He’s a good fucking dude. He’s taught me self defense (with a gun), I taught him the joy of fly fishing, he’s talked to me about how he feels and has cried in front of me. Anyway he’s a GOOD friend. He came came over to vent about some shit and I found out ….. he’s hard core Q. 

“Dude just watch 2000 mules…”

We talked for 3 hours.

the worst part, his parents had him and his family in a self described cult as a kid obviously without his consent. He got out. But now he’s back in.

my heart hurts. 

He’s very worried about sleeper cell violence November 2024. he left my house and I looked at him and hugged him and I said, dude, the only people you can harm are those that try to harm your wife and kids. Promise me you will not do something like go to the capitol. He said he plans to take his family to his ranch for a few months if shit gets wild. 

We are so fucked. 

 

I have a friend like this, a guy I played sports with and did all the sporty esprit-de-corps things with.  So we've been tight, almost lifelong friends.  He's a self-described libertarian that has gone way down the conspiracy rabbit hole and is now basically working to try to bring about the downfall of the US.  His legitimate business failed and he is rebounding by starting a podcast and writing two books simultaneously "with the help of AI."  It's all aimed at promoting conspiracies and at least indirectly undermining confidence in our governmental institutions.  His social media used to be full of stuff about sports and his kids and real life.  Now it's just a stream of conspiracy nonsense that no one reacts to.  It's like he's posting in a vacuum.

Last time I saw him, I just hugged him and told him I loved him and said that if he ever wants to come back I'll help him.  He just blinked in surprise and said, "I love you, too man, but... what do you mean?  Come back from what?"

It is very depressing to see good people who you once admired start to believe stupid, crazy shit.  And there’s nothing you can do about it.  For anyone reading this who is just now encountering loved ones buying into MAGA/QAnon bullshit, LET THEM GO.  Write them off.  Only pain will come from trying to engage with them.  Sad but true.
