Oh, In that case I'd like to make a Warren/Sinema/Duckworth hybrid that's been Senator for Illinois that since 2017 that he's married to while I'm at it.

CSR and having a Senator-Governor couple, name a more iconic duo.

That she is, but Alozia doesn't use her all that much and it's fairly easy to forget that she's from Chicago

I'm not fully sure what the policy is on having two characters from the same state, but we generally prefer new players to start with a Representative or small state Governor, and anyways, due to a mix of several characters who're no longer active and who've done important stuff to the in-universe political history of Illinois, making a statewide character from there is going to be all the more complicated

Making a character from Illinois is a NIGHTMARE because of Sharansky

that slut.

Also Hagerty is a very old man and not at all interested in being politic to irrelevant things like Burgun

by **Deblar** » Fri Jun 25, 2021 7:54 pm

Burgun is giving the intellectuals so many chances to roast the hell out of him that it’s almost insane

What do you mean? That's exactly how you tap into it. Ben Shapiro whining about why the Democrats didn't call for a ban on crime shows exactly that thing in action.

See, when a political group have made it their entire purpose to 'own' the other side, to practice in fascistic fetishes of victory rather than truth, they aren't concerned about who's right or wrong - they've given up the entire concept of reason just for the feeling of victory. Shapiro or Burgun can be as stupid as they like, it won't ever stop these people liking them. It was never about 'reason', 'logic' or 'facts' - it was just about beating up people who you see as below you. It's about strength, who *looks* stronger.

And as stupid as Burgun might look to you or me, if he can just screech louder than the other side, that's his voters won.

Ignoring the fact that both left and right internet dogma can be reduced to vitriolic schizophrenic gibberish with no intention of actually learning about the opposite viewpoint, as you just demonstrated.
