lol i think this country is too big for such action. i well remember 2016 when some women i knew and considered friends told me they could never vote for a woman. i still have pro-life friends. we don't discuss it. i'm looked on as a radical nut (in fact i was called a psycho last week for saying trump should be locked up)

i wonder how much of this is on the baby boom generation - the activists of the 60s are now ultra conservative retirees. this cohort is too large to be overcome by today's youth. i hope to visit europe before the wave overtakes them as well. sigh

living in the trumpie midst - i do get it. they want to make the world safe for WHITE children. evolution - always a competition

sadly baby booms allowed bushes to steal an election in 2000 or we'd be on a far different course (one hopes)

ok gonna watch a film. the humidity is murderous rn

Ronald Reagan - a lousy president and a lousy actor.

Which reminds me of this clip from Grumpy Old Men. :D

tennessee is maybe the only movie where i don't mind reagan, if only because everyone in late dwan acts like an alien anyway (although payne is much better at playing into this than ronnie is) and the two male leads are so ambiguous in so many ways...do wish we can get a decent print of it one day, or there would be some sort of revival screening (i missed the dwan series at moma because of work), because even in this format the alton photography is really something...

strange to think back and realize that the 2000 election was the first political event i was old enough to be really follow (i'm in my mid '30s), and both the supreme court's decision and the dem party followup (not to mention the cowardly approval of the iraq war) was enough to delegitimize both institutions in my mind...and of course the wave of happiness with obama's victory quickly turned sour with the botched response to the financial collapse and the disastrous attempt to pass market based healthcare reform...so it's not a surprise to see a lack of any serious opposition at all but still very disheartening.

reagan is really not good and esp compared to john payne who i never paid much attention to otherwise

the film is beautiful and crying out for a 4k restoration

i still ahve a flickering hope that roger stone might get what's coming to him. but i doubt it

but i think the biggest issue remains that they are clearly willing to do things that we will not do. like make death threats and intimidate people and make up baldfaced lies to repeat endlessly on fox news and social media

i'm not sure what can be done about it aside from expanding the court and we need a better majority

i hope we don't do that thing again where a bunch of people vote third party (unless it's GOP ofc). i actually think it would be hilarious if GOP nominated someone else and trump ran anyway :lol:

the gop primary will be a shitshow no matter what, but i don't think it will particularly harm them.

biden really shouldn't run, but he will anyway. not sure they have anyone else in the party who seems like a natural candidate.

even if real action is impossible is at least some effective theater too much to ask for? anything beyond sending more campaign funding emails?
