There is nothing in the middle of the road but yellow lines and dead armadillos

As a foreigner, what does this metaphor mean? It sounds to me like “And at the end of the day… is night” kind of things, but what does it replace?
It means there is no future in centrism. The living armadillos choose a side. Those that dither will be hit by cars. On United States roads, yellow lines signify lane divisions between cars traveling in opposite directions.
Apparently it’s a book title of the same name. “A book of political subversion”
There’s nothing in the middle of the road but yellow stripes and dead armadillos Book by Jim Hightower
That’s exactly what needs to be done. For starters.
if whoever is in charge next in the US does not burn down the white house as a symbol of starting over, I will be disappointed
besides, think of all the Russian spy equipment that’s probably installed in there now
Leave the white house. Burn down Mar a Lago

Anything short of a full overhaul of every IT system that DOGE every glanced at is 100% necessary.
i don’t think you can take the stink out without burning it down anyway
After scraping all the gold
You mean the gold spraypainted wall sconces?
I don’t think that will be the moment that america starts caring about releasing toxic fumes by burning paint
In reality the Dems will do none of those things though. They won’t nationalize anything because they are neoliberals. They won’t fully defund ICE because they want racists to vote for them too. They’ll just reduce the budget and maybe stop putting kids in cages. They won’t shut down funding for the exec branch because they’ll say it is “irresponsible”.
More things they’ll never do:
- Demilitarise and defund the police
- Provide free public healthcare and education for all
- Raise taxes on billionaires
- Stop mass surveillance programs
- Reform the electoral system to allow proportional representation
- Properly regulate and tax corporations
- Stop providing weapons to their genocidal allies
I’d love to be proved wrong, but I’m not gonna get my hopes up.
Shutting down funding for the executive program means cutting pretty much every program the government has, if you’re not going to reformat it. Which is not implied.
The person who posted the tweet in this post who suggested cutting funding was a Republican and now is a independent
Founding Fathers, 1776: Democracy is worth fighting and dying for! We must water the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants. We must risk our fortunes and our lives so that our children can live in freedom.
Democrats, 2025: Trump is a dictator destroying democracy, but we can’t risk temporarily shutting down government transfer payments in order to stop him.
Day 1 should be to Fire everyone even remotely related to trump. Then take trumps entire cabinet to a CIA black site. Then start going after the treasonous media figures. Then day 2 you can start fixing things.
He said when they take the house. In that hypothetical, they would still be moderately impotent with regards to what you describe, they’d need 2/3 of Senate too.
This is the most optimistic plausible scenario for 2027, not 2029.
They’ll be working in the same building as the Senate and people fall down the stairs there all the time with no questions asked.
Who uses Twitter anymore that isn’t a Nazi?
Nazism is sadly a spectrum, and you can appeal to those undecided in the middle by hopping onto their stage
Nazism is sadly a spectrum
No it’s not.
sure it is
the threshold is quite low compared to how crazy some beliefs can get, but beyond that it is a spectrum like anything else
If you fall on the “fascism spectrum” at all, you’re a fascist. Period.
yeah that’s basically the exact argument I’m making
your argument is that all fascists are the same. mine is that some are even worse than others
Bad news for you then, with the rise of right wing populism everybody is a fascist now.
When do we form la resistance which we all will be in? We have to do something against all these racists don’t we?
Yeah. Really bad news.
Their stage where if you’re good enough at appealing to centrists, they’ll just ban you or lower your post visibility. Their stage where the algorithm can be manipulated to show centrists only your worst posts.
Their stage that dies if enough sensible movers leave that the sheep see only vileness from evil movers.
This “Nazi is a spectrum” nonsense is why you guys refused to have allies and got destroyed by maga. It’s why when anyone even slightly right or even left of you, has a slightly differing opinion, you call them nazis. You cheapen and confuse the situation by throwing everyone under the Nazi bus
correct analysis. Absolutely go down to their level. Weirdly enough, you will even take some of their voters away with that. Some of them don’t care that much about the words, just the way they are spoken.
The current MAGA Republicans make neoconservatives look like angels. The neoconservatives are lesser evil, but it doesn’t exonerate them from the Bush-era warcrimes.
Remember when the new Democratic President prosecuted the Bush-era war crimes?
Me neither.

Isn’t the correct process to make a flippant post offering to buy the whole thing on twitter ?
I would!
Rambling on Twitter makes money. And politicians have finally figured out they can get in on the rage influencer pie, too.
It’s super effective.
Ugh, I can’t wait for Twitter to enshittify so much it withers away.
I think a problem the Democratic Party is facing is that, today, few believe they will
Nationalize the assets of every billionaire who bought a cabinet position to destroy the government agencies that were relating their businesses. 100% tax on wealth over $100 million. Reform the judiciary. Every citizen has the absolute right to vote with equal access to the ballot box. Eliminate the electoral college. Electoral boundaries drawn by an independent, non-partisan agency. All electoral boundaries must be a maximum five sides polygon except where they follow a state border. Ban private schools and fully fund science and fact based public education. Eliminate health insurance companies and nationalize healthcare. No company may pay bonuses or dividends unless every employee earns a living wage with full benefits. Make companies pay the same wages and benefits to part time employees that they do full time employees. Executive wages must be tied to the average wage of employees and the lowest wage paid to any employee (including contractors and employees of suppliers.) Dissolve media conglomerates and ban misinformation presented as news. Free speech does not include hate speech. Your religious rights and at the end of your nose. You have no say in what other people do with their bodies. What happens in other people’s bedrooms is none of your business. Make churches pay taxes like every other business. Make the national minimum wage a living wage. Make companies responsible for their pollution and recycling their products. Absolute right to repair. Stop companies from telling you what you can do with devices you own. GDPR for all! Provide mandatory anti-conspiratorial thinking training for everyone. Teach rational thought from day 1 in kindergarten through graduate school.
Nice Hightower reference
Reissue all US currency and people are only able to change to the new real currency $100k a day over the course of a year, after that it all becomes void. And you need to actually go to the bank and sign a slip each time.
Most wealth is in assets though
Yeah, cool. Now Bozo has only 36.5 million in cash. Oh, and $240 billion in Amazon stock.
They won’t though 🥲
