    It’s been going on for awhile now. There are very few major outlets not going along with this rhetoric. The few left that weren’t, are now walking that line. We’re in trouble, for real. I don’t know how to say this any louder. We are in trouble.

    Edit for clarification.

      Yeah. I sort of tried to second-guess it within myself, like maybe the mood of the country is just that much different now, but I really don’t believe it. There has never been a sporting event that he showed up to in the last 5-6 years that he didn’t get loud boos at, and I think it’s highly unlikely that the events of the last few weeks have suddenly made people love him again.

      I also think the proliferation of stories emphasizing Trump’s reaction to Taylor Swift supposedly getting booed, is another strong tell. They know exactly what they’re doing. This is fucked, man. This is bad.

        It’s that, but also look at the headlines with all of the bullshit stripped away. It’s fucking scary times. This is just for today.

          Yeah, and it’s working. The concentration camp he’s building is right there sandwiched in a corner between Super Bowl bullshit and EV charging.

            And he shut down the Consumer Protection Agency. It’s actually shut down.

        tay’s “reception” is understandable, given her ties to the ‘enemy’. i saw an estimate putting the eagles support in the stadium at 80%. when the lombardi is on the line, even big tay fans gonna put their team first.

        the diaper making a big out-of-context deal about it was to bury the boos aimed at him.

        I don’t think he gets boo’d too terribly at the UFC events he attends. Not that it makes this superb owl stuff any better.
