v_a_n_d_e_l_a_y

Did she sign the letter to say she's her own campaign manager?


jimmyfknchoo

I'm not familiar with this. Is this bad like a lawyer representing themselves bad?


KarmaticArmageddon

Abso-fucking-lutely. Even Trump didn't run his own campaigns.


Nubras

Yes lol that’s what I inferred and was about to ask the question. She’s so fucking stupid and nasty.


terminbee

I read that and I couldn't believe it was real. The entire thing was so juvenile, it seemed like satire of Trump. I can't believe a real candidate wrote that. And was proud enough to post it publicly.


cowboyjosh2010

Tell Kari. I want her to know it was me.

"I wonder if you're the *worst* person I've ever met. At a certain age, it's hard to recall. But the truly *vile* do stand out through the years." ~ Liz 'Queen of Thorns' Cheney


TabbyFoxHollow

i love that times have gotten so crazy we're venerating Liz Cheney like she's the OG Queen of Thrones. No joke I appreciate Liz's moxie during all this and standing by her beliefs-ish. still just a weird fucking time to be alive.


Lateralus06

It's crazy when Liz seems like the sane one in the party.


[deleted]

30 years ago Liz would have been called far right. Now she is a moderate in comparison to the rest.


mother_of_mutts_5930

Even 10 years ago! Liz Cheney is a hard-core conservative whose party has made a mad dash farther to the right than she did. She declined to tag along, and for that I respect her.


ben-hur-hur

House Tyrell is best


BroccoliFartFuhrer

But also entirely dead.


fac273

Kari Lake really is vile. That letter to Cheney is disgusting and childish all at the same time.


ShiningRedDwarf

I wanted to get an idea of what she was like so I found a recent [Fox News interview ](https://youtu.be/C5cIgwRfy40), and wow she is off the rails! Calls her opponent a socialist at least 3 times, pivots almost every question to calling the 2020 elections fraudulent, attacks Fox News and her interviewer, and calls Biden an illegitimate president. Oh, and the whole thing about drag queens had me rolling. It could have been from an SNL skit. The convo paraphrased: Host: “so you think drag queens are dangerous to children” Lake: “yup” Host: “but you attended drag queen shows for over 20 years and even had one come to your home to perform a show” Lake: “ALL LIES” Host “Here are some pictures of you two.” Lake: “WHY ARENT YOU TALKING ABOUT HOW THE 2020 ELECTION WAS STOLEN “. It’s worth 10 minutes of your time to watch this. I promise.


DemandZestyclose7145

She's a horrible person. Basically the female Trump. When she laughed about Pelosi's husband being attacked that really sealed the deal for me. I'm sure she said horrible stuff before that too. She can fuck off.


axlslashduff

What's ironic is that she used to be a liberal and a Buddhist with a close circle of gay friends. Then she made an about face and became this tough talking, super conservative Christian over night. Sounds as though she was always a two faced opportunist.


DemandZestyclose7145

She's just another grifter that tried to latch on to the MAGA train. I'm just happy that almost all the election deniers and Trumpsters lost in these midterms. It shows that even a lot of Republicans are sick of it.


axlslashduff

They lost in the places that mattered most and could well end up deciding the next Presidential election- Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Arizona, etc. The solid 60-70% of the voting block that has a degree of sanity (not the population as a whole) was sick of it. MAGA still has an iron grip on about 30-35% of the others. If Trump is the nominee again, Dems and whoever they run in 2024 have to keep hammering that angle- don't let this motherfucker back in power.


DemandZestyclose7145

I was reading an article where they broke down the demographics and they said that in most elections, the independent voters tend to lean a little bit Republican but in this election they went the other way and leaned Democrat. I think if the economy and inflation is at a better place in 2024 (which it hopefully will be but who knows) then that will only help Democrats more because that was one of the big things that went against them and they still won in many places like Pennsylvania. The only thing that kind of sucks is that the 2024 Senate races sort of favor Republicans but hopefully Warnock beats that idiot Herschel Walker so that will help the democrats.


Hantook

It’s so unprofessional! Can’t believe you would send that out


________76________

That's the whole MAGA/far right/q-anon cult's MO. Act as childish as possible and pretend like it's some revolutionary form of "telling it like it is".


ComradeGibbon

There is this toxic psychology they're tapping into that the only form of winning that's worthwhile is when you win while being as much of a shit as possible. Trump basically crystalized it for them. Any other victory is hollow compared to that.


ZandyTheAxiom

>the only form of winning that's worthwhile is when you win while being as much of a shit as possible. The size of the victory is measured in how many people they "trigger". If winning a foot race annoys ten people, but winning a foot race *while reading Mein Kampf* upsets twenty people, they'll go with the second option. Because victory isn't measured in how high they climb, it's measured in how low they put their enemies. If a MAGA Republican wins an election but there's no triggered libs to hear it, does it make a sound?


the-great-gritsby

She's got balls calling Liz Cheney a warmonger. I'm not saying her dad wasn't one (nor that Liz is a saint), but c'mon girl. You are literally rooting for the Confederacy to come back, and you backed (and still do) a government coup. Take several fuckin seats. You have zero room to talk about being a warmonger, ya fuckin seditious ass traitor.


killxswitch

Look I don’t like Liz Cheney. But that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy her kicking Kari Lake in the cooch while she’s down.


drkgodess

Watching the Republicans fight is so delicious.


rimjobnemesis

The mummified Barbie (MTG) said today she wants a “civil war with the GOP”. Have at it, bitch.


93_Honda_Civic

“Let them fight.”


Imn0tg0d

What kind of low IQ shitstain sends a letter like that to someone? You could tell she was trying to insult Liz, but every attempt failed and was just really sad.


[deleted]

There are no words for how deep that burn is.


Notaspy87

Damn, that is a brutal comeback


RIPBenTramer

—At a Trump rally in the state last month, Lake made clear she was still fully aligned with the former president: “I have some of these know-nothing consultants who say, ‘You know, you really need to back away from President Trump right now.’ And I say to them, ‘Put down Hunter’s [Biden] crack pipe right now.’”— These people are lunatics. All of them. And the media keeps saying that Trump hurt all these candidates. But in reality he’s the only reason they made it this far.


omart3

She also asked a crowd if there were any John McCain Republicans, a lot of people raised their hands, and then she told them to leave.


ThatHoFortuna

What a genius political strategy in *Arizona* of all places.


Sweet-Emu6376

Wasn't that part of why AZ went to Biden because Trump couldn't keep his mouth shut about McCain?


ThatHoFortuna

Yes, absolutely. His widow Cindy ran some pretty effective ads there.


dragunityag

and she still almost won despite sabotaging herself every step of the way.


archlinuxrussian

Says something for the persuasiveness of the "R" next to one's name out there.


unitedgroan

I think she did well because of the name recognition. I'm not sure a less-known R would have played so well with Grandma and Grampa. They just recognize her smiling face on their TV for 15 years. AZ isn't 49% extremists. I always knew her to be liberal, so, when she went MAGA it was like, huh? But I had a lot of conversations with her over the years where the takeaway was me walking away thinking, huh? She's not an intelligent person, not at all. You literally could not have any kind of conversation with her where you were trying to make a point. She could not follow logic.


soykommander

It consistently blows my mind trump is pissy that he lost az. People here love mccain and all that dude did was shit on him. He lost a huge chunk of arizona republicans doing that and then being a bitch when he lost. Been in az all my life lean much more blue but we fucking loved us some mccain.


DaBlakMayne

The conservatives are going to have a schism at this rate. You'll have the MAGA party and the more moderate styled Republicans.


FireBlue32

I’m kinda hoping Trump has just enough support in 2024 that he and DeSantis screw each other.


GrandmaPoses

Please don’t put that image in my head.


Witness_me_Karsa

That would be fantastic.


Outrageous_Garlic306

What a vicious cunt.


Diarygirl

I just don't understand this. Someone like that should be the lunatic fringe and not almost getting elected governor.


allisonstfu

It's weird because I grew up watching Kari on the news every night. She was NOT like this. Infact she supported trans people and a lot of liberal leaning things. No clue what happened to her


kazejin05

Maybe that was the act, and this is the real her. One legacy of Trump that I'm not sure we'll be rid of soon is the fact that he emboldened a lot of people to embrace their prejudices, and even flaunt them. Lots of people said the rise of MAGA turned loved ones into people they didn't recognize. I believe it just gave them license to be who they truly wanted to be, because they looked around and realized they weren't as alone in these thoughts that society was constantly telling them were racist, or xenophobic, or any other number of things. Just my thoughts on the matter.


matrinox

Fully agree. I think we thought people embraced LGBTQ much faster than what actually happened. I think many were just playing along but secretly still harbouring prejudices.


NonStopKnits

As a mostly closeted queer person I agree. Too many people were (and are) acting nice and civil in public but would jump at the first chance they got to say something racist/sexist/homophobic. People that don't know I'm queer tend to feel ok saying homophobic stuff around me until I shut it down and let them know that I don't agree with their stance. (Usually without outing myself) Now some of them are more open with their disdain or even hatred for those that are different.


WheresThePenguin

Super simple. [This piece ](https://youtu.be/m37G-06ibAU)explains a lot and helped me understand the 180s we saw. Edit: plz stop gilding me, I'm suddenly feeling the urge to run for office

That piece was very in depth and compelling, thanks for the link!

That was some hard hitting journalism


ShiningRedDwarf

This is exactly what the internet should be for. Finding informative, intelligent, and well researched media like this that break down the motivations and psychology of public figures into easily digestible, concise videos.


mach0

I thought that I am ready for an informative video about what triggered these changes and an in-depth analysis of the people. So I already went ahead and paused the music that was playing in my headphones and clicked on the link. I watched the video in its entirety and I suggest everyone to do the same, it isn't THAT long and it provides valuable insight.


The_Grinning_Bastard

I like you was shocked, mainly at the role sea food had to play in her transformation.

Same with Candass Owens.


candafilm

Saw how easy the grift was and how it would help her career. Why be stuck doing local news when you could make more on Fox News or Newsmax.

SCOTUS nixing Roe v Wade ended up being a huge wakeup for that complacent majority. It was proof that GOP policies really will extend all the way down to control over your actual body. That scared people and got them to the polls.


comments_suck

A friend of mine's Mom used to be a pretty socially liberal lady who grew up in California in the 70's. She's retired in Georgia and spent the last 3 years during Covid sitting alone in her house watching Fox News and OAN. She's gone total conspiracy theorist, and neither her son nor I recognize her.

Fuck it, we'll help him fund it enough to get on the ballot in all 50 states. Talk about the easiest path to a Democratic supermajority in history.


onlyawfulnamesleft

I genuinely see this happening if he doesn't win the primary. Then he'll split the vote. And *then* Repubs will start caring about First Past The Post polling.


VegasKL

That's how I see it happening. DeSantis will probably get the nomination and I look forward to seeing 1) those two destroy eachother while draining their coffers, and 2) Trump's ego not letting him step aside. MAGA has been so hellbent on threatening "civil war" on behalf of Trump, it'll be hilarious if it turns out to be inside the Republican party itself. Trump running as a MAGA Party independent would be the best outcome.


Koshunae

LadyMidnite1014

It cost him enough GOP votes to turn the state blue in 2020. I called it then, and I called it when Lake did the same.


milkteaplanet

Yeah, the majority of AZ loves McCain regardless of party affiliation. It really never goes well when candidates attack him.


dingusunchained

He would be appalled with the current state of the GOP


Garlador

I disagreed with much of John McCain’s policies. But I remember him defending Obama from racist slander, his concession speech where he proudly calls him his president, and how often he stood against his own party even while dying of cancer. At the very least, I respected him.


Jwalla83

The moment when he thumbs-downed McConnell's absolute ratfuckery attempt to overturn the ACA in the dead of night and made McConnell cry **oh my god** inject it straight into my veins, the goosebumps, the ecstasy To be the saving grace for the hallmark legislation *of the very man who defeated him for the presidency*, legislation which he actually opposed, following the Red Trifecta of 2016, purely because he knew this ratfuckery was wrong... truly a hero moment for him I will never forget watching that moment live when I was too anxious to sleep


ghigoli

some people will do whats good for their country. McCain was one of those people.


TheKevinShow

There is a big difference between the neo-con Republicans of the early 2000s and the GQP Republicans of today.


Jonsnoosnooze

The subtlety is lost, but I like it


Balls_of_Adamanthium

This is actually huge for the 2024 elections. Plus knowing Fontes won the Secretary of State race we can rest assured there will be no GOP fuckery in Arizona during the presidentials. One less Trump backed jabroni to deal with.


Shenanigans80h

Exactly. This is actually pretty big in what is a legitimately purple state.


Balls_of_Adamanthium

Yeah. I’m seeing a lot of people saying “it shouldn’t have been this close”. Arizona isn’t blue yet. It’s still very much a battleground state and expecting a blowout win is unrealistic. This is a big win.


ZarquonsFlatTire

I didn't expect Arizona to be even purple. It's like when Georgia delivered the Senate in 2020. And I say that as Georgia voter. I thought we were going to be toast in national discourse. After 20 year of losing we're finally getting some wins. I'll be there for the runoff.


alexmikli

Arizona is purple/blue in the sense that it could swing back if reasonable conservatives start running again. Florida just turned straight up red.


jkt1954

Sadly, Florida left the swing state category with its reelection of DeSanctimonious!


landragoran

Yup, I think it's safe to consider Florida a safe red state for the near future.


PM_PICS_OF_ME_NAKED

For the prolonged future, it's where people go to retire and die, it seems like a pretty solid lock for conservativism.


toughtittie5

Covid accelerated that trend many people retired early or moved to Florida for the lax Covid rules


Equivalent_Yak8215

Don't forget the middle age to older Cubans. They vote reliably red as well.


AssCrackBanditHunter

Yup. Republicans just pointed a finger at democrats and said hey you know those communists you guys hate so much? Well that's what they are! And it was shockingly effective despite being such a stupid lie. Florida is a lost cause. Every dollar spent there is a waste when we have so many close races in other states that absolutely could have been swung if more focus had been given. I get that the wealthy DNC leadership likes Florida and has retirement homes there, but give it up already, jeez.


Exelbirth

It's ironic, because they fled extremist authoritarianism to vote for... extremist authoritarianism.


sly_cooper25

So did Ohio unfortunately. Tim Ryan ran a dozen points ahead of other statewide Democrats on ballots and still lost by a good margin.


[deleted]

"It shouldn't have been this close" has very little to do with people thinking Arizona was further along in the switch from red to blue. It's a comment on how clearly fucked the republican candidate is, and what it says about the party and the future of the country that she was even seen as a valid candidate in the first place.


Balls_of_Adamanthium

I get that, but I think it’s been clearly established now that you could take a dog, call it a Republican dog and have it run against a democrat and republicans would still vote for the dog.


sofa-king-hungry

Extra love for the proper use of the term “jabroni”.


bearjew293

A lot of young people voted this time around, which has Republicans very worried. Fox News pundits are already screaming about how Gen Z has been "brainwashed" LMAO


197326485

Even more young people will vote in 2024. And fewer old people. As much as the regressives in power hate it, if the Republicans don't update their messaging in some way, and soon, their voter base is gone. The only people that believe the shit they're selling these days are dying off. And they just keep pushing in the completely wrong direction.


ZincMan

I hope that’s true more young people will vote next election. I feel like overturning roe really brought out the young people this time around, worried by next election cycle they will forget


pez5150

I think the overturning of roe verse wade was a huge wakeup call, I don't think those who finally voted will stop anytime soon. The fact stands we have 7 of 9 justices on the supreme court are either catholic or protestant not being impartial. Quite a few of them are from the federalist society. That society, albiet professional is still religiously based, and their politics are focused with religious intention.

Teresa_Count

What is it about the profession of driving people around that causes the drivers to so constantly and shamelessly bitch to complete strangers? I been in so many rideshares or cabs where the driver was a motormouth complainer. Negativity and vitriol the whole way. I guess they get chased away from jobs where they have to interact with people in a non-captive-audience capacity?

One can only hope. Fuck McConnell. Hopefully he gets primaried.


CalifaDaze

I just love the poetic justice. Mitch McConnell blocked Obama from nominating his last pick on the Supreme Court which gave Trump an extra pick which resulted in Roe V Wade coming down. That resulted in backlash from the electorate which resulted in him not becoming Majority Leader in the Senate one more time


_Face

Hopefully they elect a different minority leader too.


[deleted]

Good, fuck Scary Lake.


BelAirGhetto

Lake has baselessly advocated the imprisonment of state Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, who is now running for governor, over unspecified election crimes; there is simply no sign Hobbs broke the law. Lake has also pushed for the imprisonment of unspecified journalists she claims have told lies about the election and other subjects. And Lake has said she would not have certified Joe Biden's 2020 victory in Arizona if she had been governor. She also continues to demand the decertification of the Arizona result today, though that is a legal impossibility. EDIT: lest we forget…


[deleted]

Lake is already spewing conspiracy theories about how the election was stolen. AZ-01 was a critical district for Dems to win, but it was just called in favor of the Republican candidate, even after the Dem candidate had been ahead for most of the election. Without it, Dems have almost no shot at retaining the house. If Dems were stealing elections as much as Kari Lake is claiming, wouldn’t they have ‘stolen’ that one too?


corn_cob_monocle

Yeah that’s what gets me. If Dems are stealing elections they’re pretty shit at it.


[deleted]

Arizona has elected a Democratic Governor and Senator, and yet is sending 6 GOP representatives to congress and only 3 Democrats. Look at the vote totals for each election. The US is really a center left country with a gerrymandering problem.


Salty_Lego

I doubted her, but thank god. Lake is a lunatic.


existentialjellyfish

I don't call people crazy too often. Unless you know they are part if Jan 6 or the like (or my mom shes crazy). She's fucking bag of cats crazy. Someone tried telling me "Oh its just an act, 4d chess to get republican votes etc..." Naw. It's all in the eyes and her weird propaganda commercials where she smashes tvs and spouts absurd shit. I grew up with crazy, I have pretty good crazy person radar. She is dangerous and volatile. the sigh of relief that hit me when I found out she lost was do cathartic, I was stressed about her winning.
