    I wouldn’t get too confident. While Kamala is currently in the better situation, it’s still very close. If we get too confident, some people again might simply “just not vote because she’ll definitely win”.

      Yes. Even if she does win (🤞), he will never concede and there will be fuckery and most likely violence.

      Democrats better have some kind of strategy for dealing with the fuckery afoot at the state legislatures.

        At least the cat is out of the bag on the attempted fuckery and so watchdogs are watching closely. And at least Trump isn’t in the White House with a crooked Attorney General and Chief of Staff mounting a pressure campaign. And at least many key states have Democratic state governments including key State Secretaries.

        So my hope is there are diminished returns on an already failed attempted coup.

          I sure hope so. That co-author of project 2025 had a video of him leaked where he was telling his fellow wackos how plans were in place and that they were “winning”.

          I hate this timeline and The Supreme Court is a bought and paid for piece of 💩

        Meanwhile, Trump’s White House kept its kitchen stocked with Doritos… here’s purportedly a rundown of his diet from 7 years ago, which is the timeframe they’re talking about here…

        https://theculturetrip.com/north-america/usa/articles/this-is-what-donald-trump-eats-in-a-day

        Similar dietary preferences have been reported numerous places over the years, with Doritos specifically being mentioned fairly often.

        Also, didn’t he do some kind of promotion with Doritos and Frito-Lay like 20 years ago? Are those “look for real and online cash” promotional materials I see on eBay and whatnot for real? Was that a thing? I don’t recall it being a thing in Canada, but perhaps it was a thing in the US? I mean, there’s a bunch of this stuff on eBay…

          That’s cuz Doritos are dope. All my homies love Doritos.

          Also if there were Kamala themes salty Doritos I would eat a bag every day just to mock the maga children I work with

        Holy shit, can they criticize her on anything of substance? What’s with all these stupid nothing-burger attacks?

          Trump literally served a McDonald’s buffet but Doritos are bad, it’s wild

      It’s just the best-known brand of nacho chips, which was needed for the pun.

        Ah ok. There was another Doritos related post earlier and I thought ich_iel’s food-based meme culture was slipping over.

        But I can relax now, comforted by the knowledge that I’m not crazy, it’s just that this season of our show is sponsored by delicious, crunchy, Frito Lay products.

    That just sounds dumb

    I’d offer great America or former present Doritos, something vague enough everyone reads Trump but I don’t have to pay him. They’d taste like a really salty cheeseburger. They’d taste ok, but not good. But they’d smell distinctly of piss.

    Then I’d market it totally straight. I’d send a palette to Trump. Especially right now, he couldn’t help but mention it - it’s just vague enough that his narcissism would take over.

    I’d deny the smell, and our policy would be to politely ask anyone who comments on it to remain civil in political discourse.

    Every batch would smell slightly worse.

    I wonder if there’s any crossover ingredients between the dye used on Doritos, and Mango Mussolini’s makeup.

      God, I hope not. I like Doritos.

    I don’t think you’d be a very good CEO then, because that is unlikely to be a successful marketing campaign.

      That depends entirely on your definition of success. Pissing off idiots? Success. Making money from people buying your product so they can burn it on social media? Possible, but less likely success.
