Calling Trump supporters "tribalists" or "neo-Bonapareamists" or "wealth-aspirationalists" and defining every Trump voter as overtly, or covertly, racist is dumb as it is dumb. It was all something, and someone, you know.
And now it is over, the super heat has finally been called. Singlets turned back into beach marshal, challenger Joseph R. Biden Jr. eking out a win in the dying seconds, in uninspired surf, against incumbent Donald J. Trump Sr. and getting “chaired” up the “beach” socially distanced, of course.
Masked etc.
290 vs 214 the near final score.
The former almost in the excellent range.
Let us dispense with the vote tampering narrative, for a moment, as it is unlikely as it is uninteresting (to dump that many artificial ballots anywhere, outside of Venezuela, Tanzania, etc. would require a complete suspension of disbelief), and focus on the real matter at hand.
What happens to Trumpism?
The political movement that he conjured, though not entirely original, was robust.
Is robust.
70 million United States of Americans, likely including the U.S. Olympic Surf Team coach Brett Simpson, voted for a platform that severely restricts immigration, rejects interference in foreign lands, curses the entrenched political establishment, lets the reigns mostly out on regulation, attempts to protect national industries at the expense of global markets assuming those global markets will re-adjust and bounce along, etc.
Does it live or die?
Consume the modern conservative narrative or disappear like frosted Whigs?
Calling Trump supporters “tribalists” or “neo-Bonapareamists” or “wealth-aspirationalists” and defining every Trump voter as overtly, or covertly, racist is dumb as it is dumb. It was all something, and someone, you know.
Is something.
Someone.
So what happens?
Donald J. Trump Jr. becomes standard bearer?
It dissipates only to reemerge in therapy sessions and/or muffled sobs behind bars?
You tell me.

WTF was that? Anything but insightful, informative, or humorous. Is your audience that slow where this would pass as knowledgeable commentary. You clearly wiki’d “conservatism” and then asked “will it love or die”? You should stick to passive aggressive bullying, as that plays to your strengths
I wonder if anyone in this forum knows how instrumental Biden was during his tenure as VP at opening up over 500,000 square miles of coastal waters for oil exploration. Most politicians suck, but the leftist ideologies are absurdly hypocritical. They want to provide endless services for the poor and expect everyone else to pay for it. You know what they say, if you’re not a democrat in your twenties you have no heart, and if not a republican in your thirties and beyond, you have no brain. But hey don’t worry, Kamala will take over after the Democratic Party has him declared mentally unsound, especially since she thinks he a racist, which is how she referred to him while competing for the democratic presidential nomination. It astounds me how stupid people are.
Spare us the right wing rhetoric. You guys carry on about how everything should be user pays but conveniently forget about things like roads and defence. There’s a thing called society and you’re part of it no matter how convenient it is to pretend that you live on a ranch and survive solely off your own hard work and ingenuity.
You want to talk about hypocrisy? How’d trickle down economics work out? The rich got richer because they were fucked if they were going to let any of it trickle down to the plebs. There’s some rolled gold right wing hypocrisy right there dude.
And for what it’s worth, i’m a centrist. I actually think there’s a fine balance between the ideologues of both sides. Though being a centrist these days just makes me a target for both sides of the ideological spectrum.
Maybe the world is a bit more nuanced than it seems.
He sounds pretty centred to me.
I got no problem paying my share, especially for roads, since I use them. I don’t want to pay for someone else’s healthcare just because they were too stupid to think about their future. Why should someone who works harder for a better standard of living be forced to give it to the “less fortunate?” If you think the Democrats pay their fair share of taxes then you are one naive person. Flat tax for all, rock on!
Trump portrayed himself as the outsider, disregarded by the mainstream crowd, set up to lose, and he proved them wrong. That speaks to a lot of rural Americans. Of course it was an act, the guy is a complete big city con artist.
Fuck it must be hard work living in your head
don don trumpence era is over finally…
No, good buddy has a service.
Simple, requires a very little capital and all sorted.
That’s heaven compared to what goes on in Yemen, Saudi etc
This is a nightmare for the kids.
Everyone forgets about them.
It’s gonna be open season on them.
I think that despite all the recent division, covfefe.
Go to Tamagringo, where you can eat nachos as big as your ass!
Someone from the Trump Camp smuggled out this smartphone video of Trump’s campaign manager reacting to the news that Biden had won Pennsylvania and Georgia: https://www.youtube.com/wat…
It’s not over…
..but the crying
Coronavirus has deceased over a million people and probably caused hundreds of trillions in economic damage and aided and abetted the Dogass Los Angeles Baseball Dodgers in winning the World Series – but the Silver Lining is that without Coronavirus,
Trump would have waltzed into his second term, and possibly solidiifed it for Beavis and Butthead or Bianca or whatever her name is to resume the Trump Dynasty
So, we can all breathe a sigh of relief – those of us who are still breathing.
Trump’s presidency was like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man in Ghost Busters – all the angry, shitty energy of mullet-prole America congealed into a fat, vulgar, stupid, corrupt oversized Oompa Loompa.
Trump’s supporters aren’t going away and people of that ilk tend to reproduce faster than the smart people, so their number will continue to mutate.
Trump is going to be a complete pain in the ass for the next four years and will probably run again in 2024 and the Democrats need to anticipate that and start grooming some Obama-class rockstars to take the reigns from Joe.
Stiffle that s@#$ every chance they get.
Biden is old and feeble but his team are going to be laser-beam sharp and they will sweep in and fix the damage, just as Obama and team did after Bush43 screwed the pooch way back when.
But the Trump dynasty has money and a following and is not to be overlooked.
Yay Coronavirus anyway. Funny how history bounces, no?
And hopefully TSLA will bounce on Monday because we now have a Green President.
One of the most overlooked aspects of the Obama administration is they loaned $495 million to Tesla to robotize they Fremont plant.
And what has that returned in jobs and wealth and technology and badass cars?
What will Kamala do when her only foreign policy experience is dropping to her knees and sucking off Brown Willie?
Blah blah blah. Vulgar and stupid. Spoken like a true Trumper Humper.
You dumbass mullet-headed proles had your four years and had your guy and true to form he completely f@#$%ed it up – even worse than Bush43 or Schwarzenegger.
A stunning lack of leadership in the face of a historic humanitarian and economic crisis.
Trump is an idiot, voted in by the dumbest 50% of America.
So you had your four years and it’s a disaster and now the world is sick and tired of hearing from Trump and all his know-nothing, greedy, vulgar dipshit followers.
So do us a favor and go drive off a cliff, would you?
Biden and Harris are going to show America what rela leadership is about.
The long national nightmare is almost over.
All that’s left is the Captain Queeg meltdown like Bogie in The Caine Mutiny.
Clanking his balls together and blaming everyone else for his own lack of leadership.
And that’s coming: https://www.youtube.com/wat…
Biden has early dementia. Harris has no experience. Their calls for unity have been met with an enemies list called the Trump Accountability Project. Members of Obama administration/Clinton staffers and Never TrumpersTrumpers called for retribution against Trump supporters and allies. In fact the list even included all Trump Federal appointed Judges. (Hello US Marshals, care to investigate?). The BLM showed up at Biden fan celebration yesterday at the Whie House calling Biden fans “liberal white fools” and chanting “Burn It Down!”. The BS Biden nurtured is coming home to roost and there isn’t enough leadership in that doddering old fool to help him escape the infighting nightmare that we conservatives will be laughing at with glee.
Biden has early dementia.
Biden was smart enough to win the presidency and become one of the most powerful people in the world.
Fat Bastard says more stupid shit on purpose in one week than Biden has aid his whole life.
Harris has no experience.
Neither did Obama and he did great.
Neither did Trump and he completely fucked it up.
She’ll be fine. She’s smart. Like Obama, she’s a first and she’s not going to blow it.
Their calls for unity have been met with an enemies list called the Trump Accountability Project.
Trump Schmump. Nobody cares.
He’s already fading away like the Cheshire Car and leaving behind only a grease spit.
Two months after he’s out of office, he’ll be forgotten.
The long national nightmare is over.
Members of Obama administration/Clinton staffers and Never TrumpersTrumpers called for retribution against Trump supporters and allies.
Hey I want to see them treated like collaborators after World War II: Stripped to their underwear, heads shaved, MAGA inked to their foreheads, paraded in front of jeering and spitting partisans.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMMGDQXRie8&t=15s
They are on that level of stupidity and greed.
In fact the list even included all Trump Federal appointed Judges. (Hello US Marshals, care to investigate?).
They can work around them. Or they’ll see the light and go with the flow.
The BLM showed up at Biden fan celebration yesterday at the Whie House calling Biden fans “liberal white fools” and chanting “Burn It Down!”.
There are idiots on both sides. BLM are stupid proles, too.
The BS Biden nurtured is coming home to roost and there isn’t enough leadership in that doddering old fool to help him escape the infighting nightmare that we conservatives will be laughing at with glee.
You conservatives just lost.
Big time.
You had it in the bag and it got out of the bag.
Big time.
Like Kelly and Andy at Pipe Masters those many years ago.
You’ve proven you are a bunch of greedy, incompetent proles willing to follow even a greaseball like Trump into perdition.
We no longer have to listen to you drips.
This must be what VE/VJ Day felt like: Relief.
Wait I thought he just pulled off rigging an election?
Is he a criminal mastermind or does he have dementia?
Which is it Otto!?
First, you have no idea who has dimentia, coronavirus, obesity, etc. As for experience, your boy had exactly 0 before this failed experiment began.
I like the cut if your jib sir. Enough facts to support your arguments but also just enough snark to cal a rat fucker a rat fucker.
It’s amazing what you can learn arguing with people who don’t know nothin’.
And there is oodles of know nothin’ out there
They don’t have their facts straight, so you have to.
And yes Trump is the king of the rat fuckers.
Steal a little and they call you a thief. Steal a lot and they call you a king.
He is rich and has one foot in the grave so he could push the envelope – and he did.
Like him or not he has changed American politics – you no longer have to be dignified, qualified or bonafide to be president.
Now when Kanye runs, there’s always a grain of worry: “Could he?”
Hopefully the Democrats will take control of the Senate and go all Nuremberg on the Republicans for their mountains of sin.
Payback is a bitch. We shall see.
Again, Michael Rapaport sums up the zeitgeist most eloquently:
https://twitter.com/MichaelRapaport/status/1324144728472842242
It’s gonna be Newsom vs Trump 2024.
Naw I like Newsom but where Sanders was too old, too Jewish, too shrill and too liberal, Newsom is too California, too liberal.
Maybe too young. Too smarmy. Too snarky? Snark don’t sell. You have to give it away.
Newsom’s a cool cat who is following the frugal, quiet leadership of Gerry Brown, but the anything between the Coast Range and the Allegehenies aren’t gonna buy a presidential candidate from California: Sanctuary States and all that.
Nope.
Depending on how Harris performs and is received, could be Harris vs Trump.
If Trump lives that long.
Fat Bastard having a heart attack with some stripper on top of him is not out of the question.
Gavin is definitely a little greasy but he plays way better than Harris nationally. Was smart enough to get along with trump during the whole covid thing so he wouldn’t get on the twitter troll list of trump like a lot of other democrat governors. Trump has said good things about him and that will go a long way in four years. Gavin’s no idiot. He’ll run.
Gavin is definitely a little greasy but he plays way better than Harris nationally.
Trump has redefined greasy.
If Trump has had any effect it’s that anyone can run for president now. You no longer have to be qualified, dignified or bonafide.
Just gotta be a salesman. Gotta have charisma. Gotta be an entertainer.
Gotta tap the zeitgeist – which Trump most certainly did once.
Was smart enough to get along with trump during the whole covid thing so he wouldn’t get on the twitter troll list of trump like a lot of other democrat governors.
Newsom bit his tongue.
Probably bit it off just having to stand next to Fat Bastard in public.
Let’s see if Newsom and other politicians and world leaders unleash on Trump the way Michael Rapaport did.
This is the angry inner voice of intellctual America.
This is masterful: “It’s over, fucko!”
https://twitter.com/MichaelRapaport/status/1324144728472842242
Trump has said good things about him and that will go a long way in four years. Gavin’s no idiot. He’ll run.
We’ll see how it shakes out.
A lot can happen in four years – or less.
Without Coronavirus, Trump is still president.
I’m sure Newsom thinks trump is the biggest fucktard on the planet, and the most detrimental president in our lifetime. I do too but Newsom is thinking long term and didn’t start a war with him to benefit his long term career. Just like every smart country, China, Saudi Arabia along with France had lavish welcoming ceremonies for Trump to get what they want.
Trump is the biggest fucktard on the planet although there are 70 million fucktards who voted for him.
That’s like a coral head of fucktards.
I doubt Newsom was comfortable standing within 50 feet of Fat Bastard after the fires, but now he can breathe a sigh of relief.
Fat Bastard won’t be withholding Federal aid out of spite toward a state that has never wanted anything to do with him – and the vote totals showed it.
During the campaign I emailed The Mooch and asked him to pass a message along to Biden’s people: Trump is always babbling about Making American Great Again but what is the one company doing exactly that?
Kicking ass in the 21st Century the way Kodak and Ford and IBM did in the 2th Century?
Tesla: Manufacturing in the USA, way ahead of the competition, kicking the world’s ass when it comes to making electric cars.
Would Trump make a speech at the Tesla plant?
Hell no, because California wants nothing to do with his corrupt ass.
But Biden shoulda made a speech from Tesla, because he is the Green President.
And yes those countries had to greet Trump with pomp and circumstance because he was the president – even if he was a fucktard.
But you wait for the words that are going to leak out once he leaves office.
They were laughing in their sleeves at Trump during the G7 and you know there was more behind the scenes than that.
Trump is a moron.
This guy sums it up beautiful, but with a lot of F Bombs:

Gavin/Ossoff 2024
Vs Shapiro/Don Jnr
Good to see you back Ben Smartypants but what’s with the non sequitur cheap shot at the Dodgers? What are you anyway, an Astros fan?
I am a longtime fan of the World Champion San Francisco Baseball Giants and that goes as far back as Mays/McCovey/Bonds/Marichal and Fuentes bouncing his bat off the plate at Candlestick, and as far forward as being in attendance when Barry hit homerun #600 = he spanked it.
(Barry’s a cheater, but he makes it look good. When he hits a home run it looks and sounds like The Six Million Dollar Man. And I know what you’re thinking. The 1975 equivalent of six million dollars would be worth $28,911,499.71 now.)
I am disallowed by culture, climate and class to support the Dogass Los Angeles Baseball Dodgers in any way, shape or form. I would be excommunicated.
Well you better batter up buttercup cause this baseball blood feud is officially on. It’s Marichal/Roseboro all over again!
Well well well look who knows so much about Giants/Dodgers history.
As soon as the Dodgers win two more Championships in the next five years – as the Giants did – then we can talk.
Until then, the Dodgers won a championship in an abbreviated season and the world pretty much ignored it.
I like Kershaw and felt bad when he got robbed last year.
You shameless Giant-loving dirty rat bastard! You have forever sullied your stellar reputation by declaring your misguided allegiance. I shall now bid you adieu sir. We will battle again, that is of course only in the highly unlikely event the Giants ever find their way out of the cellar.
The Giants earned the right to suck for a while. They were historically spectacular for five years: Lincecum pitching middle relief, Brian Wilson mowing people down, Buster Posey smacking that grand slam.
Lest we forget, in 2012 the Giants were down 2-0 games in the NLDS and came back to win three straight.
Then they were down 3-1 games in the NLCS and came back three games to beat the Cardinals.
Then they smoked the Tigers four games in a row.
If the Dodgers ever do ANYTHING remotely that impossibly badass, text me.
Those Giants weren’t really all that talented – remember, no Barry Bonds – but they played small ball or money ball or whatever and did it and did it again and again.
The Dodgers have a loooooooong way to go to top that.
Refreshing memory.
Here’s the Wikipedia for Game One of the 2012 World Series against the Tigers: Zito masterful. Panda three home runs in three at bats. Lincecum pitching middle relief.
Those Giants were SPECTACULAR.
The Dogass Los Angeles Dodgers will never touch this.
FROM WIKIPEDIA
The Giants jumped out to a 6–0 lead, scoring in four of the first five innings of Game 1, en route to an 8–3 victory. Pablo Sandoval went four-for-four, driving in four runs on three home runs. He joined Babe Ruth (in 1926 and 1928), Reggie Jackson (in 1977) and Albert Pujols (in 2011) as the only players to ever hit three home runs in one World Series game. Sandoval became the first to hit three homers in Game 1 of a World Series and homer in his first three plate appearances.[32] Tigers ace pitcher Justin Verlander lasted only four innings, giving up five Giant runs. Sandoval’s first two homers came off Verlander, a two-out home run in the first and two-run home run in the third after Angel Pagan doubled with two outs and scored on Marco Scutaro’s single. Sandoval’s third home run came in the fifth off Al Alburquerque. San Francisco starting pitcher Barry Zito allowed only one run in 5 2⁄3 innings, and drove in a run with a fourth-inning single. The one run came in the sixth when Austin Jackson doubled to lead off and scored on Miguel Cabrera’s single. The Giants scored their final two runs in the seventh inning off Tiger relief pitcher José Valverde, who failed to convert saves in previous stages of the postseason. Pagan doubled with one out, then scored on Scutaro’s single. After Sandoval singled, Scutaro scored on Buster Posey’s single. In the top of the ninth, Jhonny Peralta hit a two-run home run off George Kontos to cut the lead to 8–3, but Jeremy Affeldt came in relief of Kontos and got Ramon Santiago to ground out for the final out of the game to give the Giants a 1-0 series lead.[33]
After Zito allowed a run on three hits in the sixth inning, Tim Lincecum relieved him. Lincecum pitched 2 1⁄3 perfect innings, striking out five. Three Cy Young Award winners (Lincecum, Verlander and Zito) pitched in Game 1, the first time this has happened since Game 3 of the 1983 World Series, when Jim Palmer relieved Mike Flanagan, in a contest against Steve Carlton.[32]
I can expedite a residency visa for you….
El Salvador, Nica, and even Ecuador. CR was destroyed in the late 90s by all us East Coasters.
You need to film that shit and share with us here, then. Would love to be a grommet listening to you 3 elders talk shop and talk shit. Fuck, I’d pay for all the beer.
How times change. The peeping tom scene in that movie is cringeworthy now (and rightfully so). Food fight scene is still one of the best ever.
Wow. Top 5 line on BG all time. Thanks, Gorilla.
trumpism was born of the tea party with very legitimate concerns. as surfads pointed out in another comment, trump was also able to convince a very shitty part of our society to back him too. not all trumpers are white supremacists, but all white supremacists are trumpers.
Where’s the voice of no reason from?
