    is it any wonder that the period of time when they ruled the world  is called "the dark ages"?

    Sounds yummy. :how_interesting::relaxed:

    From The Hill:
    Ben & Jerry’s co-founders, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, are unveiling a new ice cream flavor, “Kamala’s Coconut Jubilee,” as part of a get-out-the-vote initiative to elect Vice President Harris and other downballot Democrats in November.

    Cohen and Greenfield will join progressive organization MoveOn Political Action for its “Scoop the Vote” ice cream truck tour, which kicks off in Philadelphia on Sept. 16, the same day early voting begins in Pennsylvania.
    Ugh I hate coconut. Guess I'll have to vote for Trump now. There goes PA. (LOL)

    I can't say I hate coconut, but it sure wouldn't be my first choice.  My wife explained the significance of coconut and Harris (and I'm probably the last one to know about this, lol).

    The Kamala Harris coconut tree meme, explained as best we can

    In the weeks before President Biden announced he would not be seeking reelection, some Democrats online rallied behind Vice President Kamala Harris to become the party’s new nominee. And their symbol became the coconut tree.

    Not long after Biden announced on Sunday he was dropping out of the race, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis tweeted out just three emojis: a coconut, a palm tree and an American flag. EMILYs LIST, the PAC focused on electing Democratic women, explicitly endorsed Harris in a tweet and, in a more subtle show of support, also added the tree and the coconut to its username. And Democratic Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii posted a picture of himself climbing up a coconut tree, adding, "Madam Vice President, we are ready to help."

    So how did the coconut tree emerge as the emblem of Harris' most devoted, or at least most-online followers? It's a story more than a year in the making.

    Why are we even talking about coconut trees?

    The “coconut tree” meme originates from a May 2023 speech Harris gave at a White House event for advancing opportunities for Hispanic Americans.

    At one point near the end of her remarks, Harris talked about how the initiative's work would be focused on young people, but it should also take into account the needs of their families, teachers and communities, "because none of us just live in a silo."

    "Everything is in context," Harris said, before launching into the now-famous anecdote.

    "My mother ... would give us a hard time sometimes, and she would say to us, 'I don’t know what’s wrong with you young people. You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?' " Harris said with a laugh. "You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you."

    Wow !  Same here.  Seems I had heard he had died.  Not so!  
    He's long been known as very conservative, but has endorsed Harris?  Well done, Mr. Will!

    A number of these Never-Trumpers, of which Will is one, have realized this cycle that the choice is binary and writing in Ronald Reagan doesn't give them the moral high ground they want.

    Counterpoint, if those POS believe Trump is a threat, Trump must be bad. 
  • Tim SimmonsTim Simmons Posts: 7,944
    But really they’re just craven and want to see Trump fail so they, or their ilk, can make the play to take the reins of the GOP again.

    Just popping in to say that in November... I hope and believe Trump will lose... but I also think he is going to get many million of votes.  That is a very, very large and dangerous cult.

    For sure, Parksy.  The fact that million upon millions of people in this country STILL support Trump is hugely concerning, even more so than the fact that a Donald Trump exists.  The idea that so very many people can think that way is disturbing.

    Well, if you are a normal conservative like Will, that makes sense though. Repubs are likely to win senate and lose the house...which means not a whole lot will happen over the next 4 years, IE: we are NOT going to turn into Venezuela (lol). And in this scenario they can finally rid themselves of Trump and nominate someone slightly more normal in 2028.

    Yep. The fact that he's anything more than a fringe candidate after all these years is alarming. But there's a big chunk of the country that thinks authoritarianism is a good thing, and they don't think they will get swept up when he starts punishing all those people who need to be punished.

    I spent a good portion of my youth studying these things, and that's not how it works. The face-eating leopard *will* eat your face, too, given the opportunity.
