Thanks to the magic of social media, large numbers of Americans have come completely untethered from consensus reality.

THE MAGIC OF THE INTERNET, oof.

How Republican Billionaires Learned to Love Trump Again
___
Basically, they still don't like Trump, but they like his policies and political access and they're dumping money into getting him elected.

"a film that travels in slow, inexorable circles, presenting its paranoid nightmare of entrapment as Kafka down under": Ted Kotcheff's WAKE IN FRIGHT (1971) is Australian cinema's finest, most ferociously self-loathing moment. 11.55pm at Brooklyn Horror Film Festival https://projectedfigures.com/2014/03/07/wake-in-fright-1971-2

And for those who worry about compulsory voting, here’s a thing:

On the left are 98 informal votes counted at the Ted Blackwood Community Centre. They can be mistakes or deliberately unfilled ballots, or whatever.

On the right, 2,569 total votes counted.

If you ask me, having a large turnout (always over 90% because you get fined if you don’t vote) and having 96% of voters make their view known is pretty bloody awesome.

Trump Releases Skull Measurements From Phrenology Exam

PALM BEACH—“According to my doctor and everyone at the Boston Phrenological Society, my incredible scalp morphology and brain contours will make me the best president of all time,” Trump wrote. My medical advisor Dr. Heimlich Thurston personally measured my skull’s shape, hollows, and bumps with specialized calipers and assured him that my 27 mental faculties were aligned in ideal proportion.

Trump said auto workers jobs are non skilled jobs that a child could do. MY DAD was a worker in the UAW, he built and repaired many more things than cars. If he’d been here to hear a candidate for president say that .. well the UAW ain’t happy about it either:

“BREAKING:
The United Auto Workers union throws down the gauntlet to Donald Trump by challenging him to work a 12 hour shift after he disparagingly says a “child” could do their jobs.”

Oh, and he can kiss my ass. (That’s for my dad.)
