The Nazis did eventually bow to pressure, although later than the British did, but American schoolboy history is, IIRC, wrong about women in the factories- American conscription targeted rural areas very heavily to minimize industrial impact and most conscripted industrial workers were replaced with blacks(who were drafted at lower rates), not women.

Shortly after assuming the presidency, George W Bush wished Americans would come together after a contentious election…

The south of Brazil doesn’t want to leave. They both think they’re just ‘Brazil’.

Maybe he’s just generally soft on crime, and race Marxism isn’t an exception to that?

Brazil has mandatory voting, though, so manipulating turnout seems like an unoptimal strategy.

The current squabbles over voter suppression have to do with the role of ethnic machine politics. They date back to before Trump, after all.

What can Flavio Bolsonaro actually do about it though? Like ‘not accepting the election’ won’t do nothing.

In the rare cases where a man gets sole custody, child support is not an unusual outcome.

Child support orders are not based on who consented or not. They're based on replacing welfare given to the custodial parent.

If you want to be unsurveilled, might I suggest the redneck method of 'just do things offline'?

Only true when compared to introverted men.

I don't think feminists are the issue with that one there- the general lowest common denominator public doesn't want to watch it. Even The Big Bang Theory had to soften Penny's character because test audiences didn't like her.

Attractive and extroverted women. Introverts get the short end of the stick all the time, regardless of physical appearance.

It’s not just taxes- thé southern US is just generally a lot cheaper to live in compared to canada, salaries in the low millions go a lot farther.

Writing female characters seems to be a minefield, ok maybe, but it doesn’t have to be. The OG strong female character is… Inana from the epic of Gilgamesh. Literally.
There is a contingent of people who will complain loudly about any and every flaw in any female character, ever. The solution is to just ignore them; thé ancient Greeks wrote strong female characters all the time and they were patriarchal as all get out. They weren’t necessarily Mary Sues there to show the boys how it’s done.

Texas’s property tax system is a complicated mess where individual boomer homeowners do not have particularly high burdens- but rent house owners, vacation properties, and commercial property owners do.
As a Texas homeowner my effective tax rate is about 1%(I think last year was 1.2), and the elderly get a bigger exemption. But if I, say, owned a lake house I’d be paying much higher.

It needs to be said- I highly doubt Ramaswamy brainstormed, wrote, shot, and directed this ad. He had staffers who did.
Now, Vivek has a history of saying tone deaf things, but I highly doubt his staff did- this is a true Hail Mary for them to write this ad.

In a normal year a stray dog with an R after its name would win an Ohio governors race. Unfortunately, Vivek is less charismatic than a stray dog and this is a very blue year.

Nobody wanted to send anyone to the actual project 2025, it's a 900 page policy document full of standard republican priorities scripted out in boring detail. The project 2025 scaremongering relied on people not reading the document, which was easy, because it was long and boring.

The replacement level republican could probably lose to Kamala with a blue tailwind- not by a lot, that might take Vivek. But, like, Kim Reynolds or John Thune won't outperform a generic ballot.

Ramaswamy is both a terrible human being and a terrible candidate, as always. Just... wow. He's going to lose hard.

Because the red tribe already has the policy victories that would be forestalled by dem governance?

Depends how it’s furled- thé blue could easily be completely hidden.
You can still drive on shitty dirt roads. It’s unpleasant and hard on the car, but you can, millions of third worlders do it, and vehicles which can handle it on a budget are big business.
