Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Let there be snark.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

You can’t love your country only when you win.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I conferred with the team and they all agree – still not tired of winning!

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

He really is that stupid.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

No Justins, No Peace

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

“Why isn’t this Snickers bar only a nickle?”

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

I’m sure you’ve probably already seen this, but I just became aware, and I’m still stunned at how bad they are at this. AND how hard is Disney going to backhand them for using their trademarks?

    Nope, not I. Not a Star Wars person (I only ever saw the original film, in 1977 or ‘79 or whenever it came out), although the memes and cultural references are part of the air we all breathe. So I did immediately get this as a fairly ham-handed effort to poke fun at Joe. Can’t think why anyone would find it remotely funny or clever.

    @The Moar You Know: Back when I was writing SW fanfic (when the first movie came out, which would be the late-1970s) I played with the idea of the Empire being, if not the “good guys,” at least a not-unreasonable response to fecklessness and idiocy on the part of the Republic.

    The idea being that Jedi were too enamored with their reputation and self-image, and the common folk were too uneducated and parochial, to manage a star-spanning civilization.

    I do think an argument can be made along those lines… but not the current pro-Empire fanboyism, which is simply “Cruel is Cool, plus their uniforms are badass.”

    They aren’t.  Red is the color of the Sith Lords and all their sabers and The Empire.  They are attempting to say he’s a Sith Lord Emperor.  Of course they fucked up the title and compared him to a Skywalker.

    The intent of this is Joe Biden is the fascist Dark Lord and they are the plucky rebels but they fucked up the title.  Beyond that it looks cool and even if Biden was The Emperor it still makes him look cool.

    They are just stupid.  Like Paul Ryan saying he loves Rage Against The Machine.  Because he see’s Libertarians as the ones raging against the machine of Liberal Government.   They see themselves as the good guys in everything.

In a Mel Brooks movie the fascists are always ridiculous, always the butt of the joke.

    Moranis’s performance is the funniest thing in it, and it was really a preemptive parody of every right-winger who ever took Darth Vader as a role model when he shouted “That is why evil will always defeat good… because GOOD is DUMB!!”

    The real stupid in this is their main assault is “Joe Biden is too old, too weak, too stupid, to brain addled” and then you compare him to the all powerful Dark Lord Of The Sith.

    It just doesn’t work as a put down.   It’s like saying your opponent is a Pirate Ninja.  Pirates and Ninjas are villans but they are actually kinda cool and everyone likes them.

    They’re just extremely socially awkward.   Remember Ben Shapiro did a whole episode about the WAP song and claimed that if a woman had a WAP during sex something was medically wrong with her and then threw a fit when people asked if he was a virgin.  Or Jordan Peterson recorded a video with “we’ll see who cancels who” at twitter and got clowned.  Both of those were furious own goals.

    Just as with Warhammer 40k they don’t get that the God Emperor of Mankind was an atheist and hated religion so much he genocided all religious humans in the entire galaxy and then got killed in the final battle by a traitor and is now a human battery/lighthouse corpse on a chair.

    There’s a whole “Vader was right” trope out there.   The Jedi go around the galaxy kidnapping infants and children against their parents will and then indoctrinate them into a one sided fanatical palidan mindset in a harsh celibate monk lifestyle.  When said children grow up they are fanatical warriors who engage in all sorts of chicanery and mind control people against their will only to repeat the process with more infants.

    In the extended universe both the Jedi and the Sith come out looking like shits.  You get a lot of grey Jedi (Luke turns into one and that’s when he gains his full power) who are quick to point out that both the dark side and the light side have ups and downs.  And while the light is generally better, the Jedi are abosolutely jackasses of the highest order.

    First Blood (the movie that introduced Rambo) was criticizing the military, but that was erased in people’s minds by the sequels, which became more and more jingoistic.  The same thing happened with a lot of action movie franchises in the 1980s.  The original movie was original, but the subsequent offerings were cookie cutter productions that turned jingoistic in response to Reaganism.

    There was an interesting article about the Alaska special election this morning in Politico, titled “Why Sarah Palin’s loss is a warning for the GOP.” It describes how Alaska Republicans opposed the 2020 ballot initiative that brought ranked choice voting to their state. It passed, though, so this year they tried to make the best of it by promoting a “Rank Red” campaign (I don’t think they meant smell).

    Third place finisher Nick Begich went along. Although he was very critical of Palin while campaigning, he let it be known that he would “rank red” and make Palin his second choice. But almost 50% of his voters either ranked Ms. Peltola second (29%) or ranked no one (20%).

    The writer allowed that Palin has a lot of political baggage in Alaska and that may account for some of her underperformance in second rankings. They also note that this year Republicans are running a lot of candidates in critical races who in style and substance are not that different from Palin.

    Palin did not lose by too much, but Alaska is redder than states like Arizona, Georgia, and others with tight races and radical Republican candidates. How many defections can Republicans afford in these states? Not many.

    @Geminid: The Politico article also noted that while Palin said the special election result showed that Begich should drop out of the election this fall, Begich said it showed that Palin “is unelectable.”

    As another example, consider the series “The Boys” on Amazon Prime. The show has “superheroes” who are incompetent at best and malevolent at worst. The leader of the biggest superhero team is “The Homelander” who is a dark mirror of Superman. Homelander kills people he could easily simply arrest. This article in the Guardian compares him to Trump. And yet, the article claims people do not see Homelander as a villain.

    He is as unequivocally, irredeemably evil as any character you will ever encounter, and the fact that people have been missing this is truly bewildering.

    @Matt McIrvin: “Spaceballs is not one of Mel Brooks’ strongest entries”

    OTOH, it’s not one of his _weakest_ entries. It’s a solid picture, for what it is. Mel Brooks’s strongest entries are top-500 (maybe even top-200) all-time.

    @Geminid: Palin said […] Begich should drop out of the election, Begich said […] Palin “is unelectable.”

    The only solution is Thunderdome. Two candidates enter — none leave.

    @eversor: See also their inability to see beneath the lyrics of the chorus of _Born In The USA_ or some of John Cougar Melonhead’s populist songs.

    Even more so, Paul Ryan (or Rand Paul? Can even their wives tell them apart?) who loves Rage Against The Machine despite never listening to any of their lyrics.
