  1. You know what else people love? Doom and Gloom. Sounds like a certain poster I know. As for celebrities, we'll get Susanna Hoffs to endorse you since y'all go way back.
  2. Elections only have consequences for liberals. Every bad thing that happens is the result of something Obama did 10 years ago. Sorry, this isn't changing in our lifetime.

    Maybe this guy would have a chance... https://www.instagram.com/jeffjacksonnc?igsh=MWh2dmowdzVoNDN1ZQ==
  4. Very foolish considering IU's School of Music is very highly respected. Then again... MAGA!
  5. I bet they hear it a lot more than they say it.
  6. My son's friend voted for Trump... much to the heartbreak of his mother. When he told her she said she couldn't finish their conversation and hung up the phone crying. When they spoke again he gave some bullshit excuse about the economy, but the real reason was that he's 18 (so 14 when Jan 6th happened), plays college baseball so he's been surrounded by MAGA bros his whole life. I like to think he still has a chance, but then again I just got through accusing other people of projecting. I hope my hope isn't wasted.
  7. This is what does it for me. I point to Jan 6th as the biggest watershed moment. I mean, how could anybody vote for him after that? AND... there are hundreds of smaller moments that should have doomed the movement forever. It didn't happen, and it didn't happen because these people we want to see as decent and smart just are not. They are either gullible to the point of stupidity or apathetic to the point of being horrible. Any attempt we make at trying to explain their choices is us just hoping that they could be good people because we care about them more than they care about us. Chances are they are going to let us down.
  8. Coworker 1 doesn't think she's racist either. Candace Owen agrees with her after all.
  9. Yeah, it's always show bullshit that actual boils down "I just can't bring myself to vote Democrat". It's so ingrained in how they perceive themselves they cannot change. The irony is, I've changed my voting habits, but I'm the one that plays identity politics.
  10. This. I have two former coworkers (I'm a teacher). Both boomers. Both claim to be "he's not perfect, but..." category of Trump voter. One was always a white supremacist in hiding and the other wants to be a decent person. The former has embraced taking off the mask and the latter doesn't want to leave her community, so she's accepted a lot of what coworker 1 promotes. Both are equally lost, but for very different reasons.
  11. Is this a good time for me to share my Venmo to help cover the out-of-pocket fees I pay for online learning platforms?
  12. The filter she needs would make Japanese pixelated porn look like 4K.
  13. They voted for this. What makes you think they won't vote for it again?
  14. This is what I don't get. Let's say the Iranian youths do rise up, let's say they are successful, let's say they install a secular government. What makes him think that secular government will be okay with an apartheid state in Israel? Or is it just hoping for a forever war?
  15. Is staying closed for a week bad for business? Because it sounds bad for business.
