    Nah, I'll just wait until you seamlessly transition into how physically unattractive California and New York progressive women are vs. deep South conservatives fending off diabetes.

    A nice blend of being blissfully unaware and being members of the dominant class inflicting the pain instead of receiving it will do that.  They are winning -- they are on top, they are inflicting their vision on everyone else.  Standing on top of the pile and stepping on people feels GOOD.

    I mean, non-jewish Germans were much happier than jewish Germans in 1939, as just one little example.  White Americans were much happier than black Americans for most of last century, as yet another.

    Words and ideas aren't going to move the needle anymore.  Those days are over.  The Rule of Law (necessary to do things like win elections and such) is over.  Stop thinking the old world still exists, and the old rules still apply.

    the dumbest people fucking alive ....

    Arkansas Republican bill would ban giving "gender-nonconforming" haircuts to minors.

    H.B.1668 would hold liable "any person who knowingly causes a minor's social transition" — including change to clothing or hairstyle.

    Penalty starts at $10,000 minimum up to $10 million damages for certain forms of gender-affirming care.

  6. 🤔 that's sounds a bit like "every other country has similar rates of mental illness why are we the only ones with people getting their faces blown off in school and church and grocery stores, what could the difference be?"

    almost like... there's something different about America 🤔 like... we're special. one might even say... exceptional. hmmm 🤔

    Trump is making the Kennedy Center unwoke by bringing on the flamboyantly day Ric Grennell to stage performances of Cats and do interior design.

    So you have to visit a Social Security office in person to receive benefits.

    But they are closing Social Security offices.

    hmmm i'm starting to see the actual plan here...🤔 

    'don't be silly, of course we're not going to cut social security, we would never! we're just going to make it increasingly difficult for you to actually figure out how to get it until you give up and die.'

    Correlates with the timeline social media went into hyperdrive....newsflash people.  Get the fuck off social media.  You want to talk politics and geopolitical shit, do it face to face.  

    Social media and the rise in depression

     

    That's people.  Find better people, or change the subject

    My man!

    definitely agree on the social media point - it has changed people's brains. probably irreversable unfortunately, horse out of the barn and whatnot. also, valid point about the young'uns not engaging in as much, uh, extra-curricular distractions as we did. 

    as far as finding better people...have you been to rural Anderson county?

    but seriously...she can't really 'change the subject' b/c she feels pretty hopelessly outnumbered. she's also not super confident in being able to argue her opinions which, yeah, that's a personal issue for her to deal with. i don't really have the same issue though...which i have no doubt is why these same conversations don't ever really happen when i'm visiting. heh. what she tends to do is just leave lol. like literally just flee. which has made for some awkward calls from dad: "where'd you go?? you got up to get a drink and just left??" 😄

  10. my sister now lives in a NE Texas rural community/small town, and by circumstance and location is pretty limited socially to interacting with the local 'simple, common clay' folks out there. the very definition of a homogeneous population. per her lived experience the last two years, a direct quote: "omg these people will not  just STFU bitching about shit! win or lose, all they do is bitch, bitch, bitch!"

  11. i haven't watched anything beyond local news and Steve Kornacki on election nights since 2020. well, i watched about two hours the day somebody tried to put a bullet in Trump’s brain but even that barely registered interest.

    there is no need for opinionated news filters when the actual film, published statements, and seeing the words direct from the horse's ass mouth is horrifying enough. 

    i will grant that a portion of those that voted for Trump do not fall into the 'just hurt people i don't like' camp. and a lot of those people are also shell-shocked by how fast and thoroughly the destruction is happening. but being naive and/or uninformed is no excuse, they still bear responsibility. but hardcore maga? the OG cult members? detestable assholes right here on this community? they're real happy about the trauma and terror. we've all seen it. just visit reddit, or some real life maga enclaves, or hell, some of the actual elected politicians who are on camera and online saying 'better get used to it!' and 'oh yeah there's more coming!' and folks like John Cornyn actually mocking his constituents. the admin is doing things to cause suffering and has basically gone on record with 'sorry, you're gonna have to suffer'. the co-president has literally said 'empathy is bad'.

    so, you know, gtfo here with 'they don't want people to suffer'.
