Left-wing, LGBT extremism killed Charlie Kirk. It was preceded by a cycle of vicious polarization in America. This is an upsetting reality.

Dump your Republican boyfriend, as it were
By Ashkan
After Hillary Clinton placed half of Donald Trump’s supporters into a basket of deplorables, it should have clicked. Someone should have said: “guys, let’s not do that again!”

It’s 11:58 and I need to press submit
By Ashkan
Deciding my vote for President has forced a profound questioning of my core values unlike anything I’ve ever experienced — my uncompromising devotion to procrastination has not wavered, though. And it never will. You have my word.

Legacy, you might be missed? Still figuring that one out actually
By Ashkan
Few things match the awkwardness of bashing legacy admissions to someone who later sheepishly reveals “my dad went here…” Hasn’t really stopped me, though. I feast on the souls of soft-penised dilettantes who were grandfathered into what I traded my adolescence to achieve.

A migrant ate my clearly marked yogurt in the break room
By Ashkan
I’m currently fighting off an intense bout of déjà vu — since this week’s debate, I feel like I’ve been transported back to being my unfortunately normal-height 8th grade self, rabidly absorbing the drama of the 2016 election as my interest in politics was piqued for the first time.

Shit, someone let Kamala out of the bunker
By Ashkan
footnotes from Abigail
I find it genuinely funny that the Democratic Presidential campaign strategy for the past two cycles has been to campaign as little as possible.
Do we all remember the Joe Biden COVID bunker in 2020? As Trump criss-crossed the country shaking hands and kissing babies1 (which I suppose might have been ill-advised from a #FlattenTheCurve perspective), Joe Biden sat ensconced in his impenetrable Delaware basement, conveniently untouchable by reporters who could seize on a gaffe, or, far worse, make him explain his vision for America.

Are we doomed?
By Ashkan
footnotes from Abigail
Kamala Harris, an original co-sponsor of the Green New Deal in 2019, has asked Pennsylvania voters for forgiveness. She was wrong, she says.
Despite previously advocating for a ban on fracking — the highly pollutive and relatively new process to extract fossil fuels — Kamala’s totally on board now. The Pennsylvania economy is strongly buoyed by fracking, and she needs to win Pennsylvania. It’s just basic political calculus; swing voters want their local economy functioning and no matter how pro-oil Kamala falls she won’t bleed any lefty voters to the orange man.

Kamala turned Black: Trump is a genius
By Ashkan
footnotes from Abigail
I’ve said this once and I’ll keep saying it: Donald Trump is not stupid.
I think he is one of the most ingenious political operators in modern American history. I’m sorry, but you can’t just luck your way from joke to President. Especially without institutional support, like in 2016.

The Veepstakes: No one cares
By Ashkan
footnotes from Abigail
Literally no one cares that JD Vance used to be anti-Trump.1
Democrats keep bankrolling ads of Vance calling Trump bad names during his pre-beard, New York Times days and then patting themselves on the back for politicking so well. Messaging-wise, it’s in the same league as surefire Democratic zingers like Hillary’s “Pokemon GO to the polls.”

The Dropout: Joe Biden is no good guy
By Ashkan
footnotes from Abigail
Hey guys, I had an idea (just trying it on for size). I’m planning on executing the following series of events:
- Stumble my way into a job for which I am severely cognitively unfit;
- Perform so poorly that I earn nearly the worst performance reviews in modern history;
- Be publicly embarrassed on a colossal scale due to my shocking incompetence;
- Face countless calls to quit from my closest friends and colleagues;
- Quit.
Then will Barack Obama, as he called Joe Biden, brand me a “patriot of the highest order” too?
