I think except in very rare cases, people don't really make much money from a book.
That’s mostly been Hollywood.
That is the irony - there is a huge set of butthurt incels that are deeply incensed about what they see happening in culture. They seem to think it has been legislated. Honestly, part of me does wonder if big money is behind trying to annoy just enough of these types to tip things in the favor of the big money party - the Republicans.
Huge companies like Disney seem to almost be setting money on fire to do this...and it has zero to do with Democrats. It also seems to be making more Republicans with the sanctimonious aspect of it all. Representation is one thing, but some of this almost seems like its goes out of its way to give the finger to people that are otherwise kind of apolitical, thus radicalizing them and they blame Democrats for it all...and there is a ready set of Youtube "influencers" set up to get them agitated and outraged about all this, funneling them right into the douchebag universe of angry bros.
Yes, because "the" bible.
That's the level of idiocy we are dealing with. These people have always been among us, and refuse to learn shit. They insist their kids are at LEAST as stupid as they are, lest they claim others are "indoctrinating" their kids with the "woke" agenda and other such nonsense - the terms have changed, the Birchers used other terms for it, like "Communist agenda", the hatriots in the 90s used terms like "political correctness", the teabaggers continued to talk about "political correctness", the qanon types whine about "DEI" and "being woke" and getting "cancelled".
These people are all the same - qanon crazies == teabaggers == hatriots == Birchers. Only some of the labels have changed.
They are going to need something to distract from the economic misery all the dumbfucks voted for are going to be getting (along with everyone else).
I mean, if donvict really does tariffs and deportations, we are going to be in the Great Depression 2.0.
Punching down on trans (and gays/lesbians, and POC, and women, and non-xtians, and liberals, and foreigners that they aren't already deporting) and doing stupid things like trying to get "the" bible being taught in our schools will become priority #1 if the economy goes totally pear-shaped.
I came here to ask this - it seems a very curious mechanism for lowering the price of eggs and reversing inflation back to the halcyon days of donvict's first term:
-
- First, punch down on trans.
-
- ???
-
- Eggs become like a penny each! Premium gas is 50 cents a gallon!
These dumbfucks really seem to believe that trans started with Biden or Obama, don't they?
I'll never forget when I saw someone's kid wearing some fucking shirt with donnie's photo op after that assassination attempt. Their parents chose to 1) buy that shirt in a kid's size, in pink for their girl 2) Put her in it 3) Then took her out in public.
/infinite facepalm
This was a kid that was wayyyy below the age of having any fucking clue about any kind of context...anyway, the fact that someone made an attempt on donvict's life only made idiots like this love him all the more and vote for him even harder - and the same idiots are being even more open about their support for donvict as a result.
Seems like Plugs has a conflict of interest here.
Eh, I don't know how much any kind of messaging/policy would have mattered when you have a flood of corporate propaganda aimed at the Democrats. In addition there a whole lot of dingdongs that think the economy was really, really bad under Biden and/or that he had some dials somewhere that controlled inflation and things like egg prices and that he purposefully either set inflation/egg prices high or allowed them to stay there by not using these magic dials....
When does the illegal immigrant Elon get the appropriate penalty?
Let the boys be boys....
There is a simple solution - Tucker's pal Putin could GTFO of Ukraine. How about that?
Never trust a person that speaks in 3rd person.
Every time I see donvict the dipshit talking about himself in the third person I think of that idiot character The Jimmy in that Seinfeld episode....
But, the price of eggs! I thought the entire raison d'etre of the GOP was to help the common man!?
Freedom! Can't you just smell the "libertarian" viewpoint being expressed here? Not to mention the notion of "states rights" being employed in local representation?
Surely THIS will lower the price of eggs, I presume?
Just WHY are the Republicans such freaks? They are just obsessed with trans. The qons are just very weird people...
Typical low-info voter - that Kamala and the Democrats are sooo elitist, and they made my eggs soo expensive, I'll vote for donvict because he's for the little guy! Donvict: surrounds himself with the most elitist of elitists - like Musk. Proceeds to dismantle the country....
How much money did these people pour into getting donvict elected, though?
