    No, I'm absolutely fine with you supporting horrific cunts - well not fine, but we know who to blame then. I just want you to be fucking honest about it, instead of this whiney little "I didn't actually vote for X, I just didn't vote for anyone who stood a chance of beating X, and I post supportive things about X all the fucking time" routine. Because my opinion of you IS capable of sinking a little lower for doing the latter instead of the former.

    I vote for the people I think have the best policies to movie the country forward. You're the one who thinks I support Trump or post things in support of him. That's your problem, not mine.

    You're half right. You do support him, and it's everyone's problem.

    I don't support him and you can't prove your fucking claim. If I supported him, I would have voted for him.

    I doubt anyone in the Neo-Nazi movement voted for Hitler, yet they still support his ideas.

    And what about people whom you cannot confirm with your own eyes, but the things that are quoted and reported on mass media? if they conform to certain characteristics regardless of who is reporting, would that make you think there was a pattern with this person?

    Suspect, as in allow for enough possibility to talk shit on a message board? Sure.

    Believe it enough to impose my own consequences? No.

    In this case, it's a couple self righteous bullshitters engaging in some "MY confirmation bias is better than YOURS," which is true to brand.

    Yes, and I know you railed against the opposite side 10 years ago for doing the same thing. But, at what point do you recognize that this person in the public eye who has done so many things wrong do you stop giving them the benefit of doubt?

    Nah. Even "I, Matt Walsh, am a Nazi. Hooray for Hitler" would probably be met with the defense that he was clearly "just trolling" and liberals need to get a sense of humor.

    Shitheel paying $11 a month for extra exposure is upset and petitions Elon for redress of grievances because some no name, no check mark completely owns him.

    According to the shitheel Elon sycophant the dude is getting way too much support considering his non check mark and limited following.

    What he doesn’t get is that the dude doesn’t want a following.

    He has actively rejected it.

    While he produced multiple award winning songs and albums in his home studio from bands such as Nirvana, The Pixies, Bush, PJ Harvey, Fugazie, Jawbreaker and literally dozens of others he felt the official title producer was too strong a term. So even on the three platinum albums he produced (two Nirvana one Pixies) he didn’t get producer credit because there was no producer. He was just the ‘Audio Engineer’.

    I say all that to say that the dude isn’t flashy. If you know him you know him (and to be honest I did not until this hilariousness).

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Albini_discography

    But the folks that did know and follow him apparently did actually know him. They weren’t randos so when he jumped onto a cause (Trans folks are humans and should be able to live) many of them agreed with him.

    So he had a high follower/engagement ratio which completely buried this nerd and he was able to look up. And being the kind of sad sack that paid for twitter and then goes and runs analytics on how he is being owned he then goes and posts all the data to the world to try and get Elmo to ‘fix it’.

    TLDR:

    Paying Elon $11 a month doesn’t make you as cool as the the dude that produced In Utero in his home studio.

    Except Elon had two children with a rock star. I heard her records. Not bad, really. Bottom line; Grimes might be able to at least do the math. You know, do the math. Kinda like emoji analysis

    Check this shit out. Rep. Kerri Seekins-Crowe from Montana:
    https://twitter.com/kennedytcooper/status/1651218163080773633

    If you're thinking, "surely she would have a reason," and the reasoning is this:

    If this woman's daughter could be saved from suicide by being allowed to transition, she would say no. That is what she said. I shit you not. These people are fucking unhinged. They would rather their children die than transition. My LGB friends, remember when we saw that same shit for people who were gay back in the 80s and 90s? How some parents would rather their child be dead than gay? History repeats itself, and it's legislating a fuckton of shit that's going to cause a lot of death.

    The full hearing:
