Trump Plans to Skip G.O.P. Debate for Interview With Tucker Carlson
  • No, desantis already tried the "Trump is too liberal" tactic and failed. Why? Because Trump is the strong daddy in Republicans eyes, and you can't call the strong daddy weak.

    Instead you say that strong daddy is being railroaded by the libtards and it's totally unfair, but you should vote for me because he has to concentrate on his legal fights and I'm also a strong daddy.

    Voters in Ohio reject change to state’s constitution
  • You can't get 60% of Americans to agree on anything politically, not in a large population sample anyway.

    That number was specifically chosen so that nothing in the future would ever pass.

    Abortion rights groups claim victory in Ohio special election
  • There's a reason they chose that 60% figure in the amendment proposal: if you don't really think about it, it seems reasonable (it's not even 2/3rds!) But in reality, in the country's currently fractured political climate, getting to 60% is near impossible. Hell, if a Presidential candidate carries a state with 55% it's considered a crushing defeat, so 60 is a crazy high bar.

    In Tuesday's special election, Ohioans overwhelmingly voted against requiring a supermajority to amend their state constitution
  • It also removed the signature curing period, meaning that there is no second chance to get more signatures or any of the originals get thrown out. For example, there is a recreational marijuana initiative that people are trying to get on the ballot in November. When they turned in signatures, it was found that they were, iirc, 639 signatures short. Under the current rules (which will remain) they had 10 days to come up with what they needed. Last I saw, they had gotten over 6,000, so that's cool.

    These Nazis Want to Turn New England Into a White Ethnostate
  • I'd guess they chose the area because of the relatively low population. They figure they can outnumber the locals like the libertarians have been trying to do in New Hampshire.

    Woman gored by Bison at Yellowstone
  • I know what you mean, but I'd lay a dollar that these people aren't from the city. More likely suburbs, exurbs, small town, etc.

    People who live in cities tend to understand danger and avoid it. If somebody is like, "that street gets dangerous past X block, and you're likely to get mugged or worse" you don't go there. Same principle as a wild animal.

  • "I won't change my mind, cause I don't have to. Cause I'm an American. I won't change my mind on anything, regardless of the facts that are set out before me. I'm dug in, and I'll never change."

    [Texas Tribune] “We are dying”: Houston workers protest new state law removing water break requirements
  • Your first sentence is absolutely accurate, but I think this specific case is more about sticking it to the libs in the cities that passed these laws, with the side benefit that most of these workers are minorities that the state reps don't like.

    Do neurotypicals really not have to do this? I'm seriously asking.
  • No, neurotypical people have to think about actions before we take them. We aren't robots. I don't automatically get up from the couch, make dinner, and then eat it without thinking about it.

    We get distracted and forget things, too. I went to the coffee shop the other day and realized I left my wallet at home.

    My brother has extreme ADHD, and it's much harder for him to manage everyday things. He might hyper focus on something and forget to eat all day, etc, but we both have to consciously do tasks just the same.
