A steady stream of bullshit, just like before the 2016 election. Trump won, so it's not surprising they consider this their winning strategy.

The name is just a name. Whatever you call it won't change what people think of it, why people use it, or the fact that it's a social media platform for the brain dead.

Never underestimate how much destruction stupid people with power can cause.

Oh you sweet, summer child.

Exactly. In any semi-functional democracy the government isn't some abstract entity you have no power over, and it's not monolithic either (you have municipal, regional and national levels). You vote for the people in it and they represent you.

Deadnaming her would be calling her "Chris Cocker" and ignoring her new name. They are just saying what her identity was before she became Cara Cunningham. Makes it easier to understand the story.

The fact that they didn't even try to hide their ssid (or at least, the report doesn't say they did) shows how stupid people can be with cybersecurity.

I view conservatism as a kind of nostalgia for how the world was when we were too young to understand it. Conservatives are generally frightened by the complexities of society, frightened by change because they don't know where that change comes from and they don't understand how that change can improve things. They want a simple world with simple rules, so they rely on religion, authoritarian leaders or any social order that will treat them like children because deep down they don't want to be responsible adults.

So that might be coherent with you point that they are self centered: like young children, they think of themselves first and never really grow up to realize that they are part of a world where they need to coexist with diverse people.

That being said, if conservatives like Cheney announce they will vote for Harris, it can only help: maybe it will convince other Republicans to do the same. But I don't see this as a change of allegiance for Cheney, she's still Republican.

"Can't find the clitoris" is kind of a boomer joke tbh.

If you're in a minority group and you still support the GOP, I'd argue you can't.

So I see nothing wrong with respectfully suggesting to a specific group that maybe they should be careful who they vote for.

We need a kind of everybody union.

In a democracy, that's called a government.

I completely share your sentiment, but she is trying to win this election, and "fuck Republicans" is not a good strategy for this.
