Hey! Don't put the prequels in with the enshittified Hollywood! They were enshittified by George jumping the gun on a mostly CG movie and having too much control on the scripts/etc.
That's totally different from executives demanding more runtime for more movies at a fast pace.
...The new sequels were definitely Disney enshittifying Star Wars, though.
You're being downvoted, but that is EXACTLY how this otherwise benign moment will be weaponized by the right.
Republicans WILL share this as a slander, and the Dems will utterly fail to clarify the truth. They suck at clearing up Republican BS partly because clearing up lies always takes longer than speaking the lie, but the Dems have a track record of falling on their ass in the attempt.
The ratchet effect is real, which is why "enlightened centrism" is nothing but a moronic farce that runs cover for the ratchet mechanism. Republicans are literally vile, selfish pieces of shit that do not know what America stands for (or rather do not like what America stands for), and they MUST be treated as such.
Literal traitors should NEVER get the benefit of any doubt.
I definitely remember some people screeing about Bush and Cheney wanting it, but IIRC, everyone was treating it like suspicion at most.
The Epstein conspiracy theory was accepted FAR more readily, but then that's basically guaranteed to be true to some degree, even if it was truly just the jailors being incompetent fuckwits that wanted to take justice in to their own hands.
The only thing I remember people being remotely close to believing was that Bush was so incompetent that he allowed a terrorist attack to happen.
It's not really a theory that Bush was an incompetent fuckwit, but it's highly debatable if they knew enough to stop it.
The great irony being that we, an "advanced" species, are going to be going out like the dumb little microbial oxygenators that predate the great extinctions... Blindly change the atmosphere until it's too late.
The cause and the solution, so the laudability is dubious with where the momentum is at.
You're not winning most fights with potentially rabid large cats without something as tough. That or just shoot it through the window, but screw that, they're not that cheap.
No, but his supporters are literally stupid enough to buy it.
and that's when I'd be going out there and beating the shit out of it with a stick. Not to be mean, or even to avenge the cat, but to teach it to not fuck with humans without killing it.
Before ya'll start whining that I couldn't win a fight... I have armor. Literal medieval armor. That cougar would be fucked.
Literally terrorist state.
Once again demonstrating the versatility of "fuck".
