I am in an accelerationist mindset myself. Unfortunately, MAGA is too gaslit to care, and 90 million don’t care or pay attention enough to actually vote. How much would the country actually have to burn to pay attention? Though there feels like not a lot else to do. At least with accelerationism, you can cheer on the fire to rage. Helps with the depression.

More like 1880s

Lol, no. Gaza didn’t lose Harris the election. Sadly, America cares less for Gaza than they do for women’s health, that Trump is a traitor and a convicted felon, or actually understanding the economy. Eggs are expensive so Dems bad.

The math was always simple. He had two main economic proposals. And tariffs + destroying the agrarian workforce = higher prices.

Stop acting like MAGA. I live in North Carolina. The state has voted Dems on the state level and Republicans on the federal level consistently since 2016. Even Trump distanced himself from Robinson after his Black Nazi porn shit came out.

Not exactly. The current majority are claiming asylum at the border and then get lost in the system, no-showing court dates, etc. That’s why the border bill this year had provisions for more judges to expedite the process.

Intersex and the rest will be ignored and marginalized, just like always.

Ummm…are you forgetting WWII? No one is coming into the country to help us drag them to the Hegue. Of course there will be compromise. The only other scenario is WWIII.

And Aldi probably had their eggs for a dollar a dozen in '19. My Target has them for $2.59, (and that did come down from pandemic pricing). If you haven’t noticed prices not rising at all over the last 4 years, don’t know what to tell you. But you make a point. I can’t shop at Aldi because my family is too picky. We “have” to have our specific products, so we pay more, especially when inflation spikes. Of course, you are going to notice gas is super expensive when you are driving an F150. Comparatively, gas feels cheap in a Prius. Regardless of how good people have it, people do not want to have to tighten their belts, especially due to no fault of their own. Should they have voted for Trump directly? or indirectly by not voting? That’s another story. We’ll see how expensive the eggs get for you when a majority of the agrarian labor force is deported and the tariffs are levied.

Well, I’m hoping we are a little closer to Franco’s Spain, and things just peeter out once Trump dies.

SCOTUS appointments are the longest lasting consequences of a president being elected, and should be one of the highest considerations. But I guess the price of Doritos and a fucking squirrel won out this year.

Correct. A dozen eggs will never be $1.40 again.

Very well stated. Thank you. There were 16 million people that voted in '20 that sat out and wouldn’t vote for either candidate. He got his base to the polls, but that’s it, and did not grow his support at all. Dems lost 10 million votes that came out for Biden (what the hell did the DNC do with the $1 Billion??!?!). That’s not a real mandate.

Thank you. There was no real professional army when the 2nd Amendment and the Bill of Rights was drafted. The Continental Army was disbanded and the militias were where most of our fighting forces came from in the War for Independence. “You will find a gun behind every blade of grass”. That is why the 2nd Amendment was drafted. “Well regulated” ment trained and prepared to fight.

You know what? We aren’t about change anymore. We are fighting as the conservatives because MAGA is so fucking regressive. They want to take us back to the robber barons of the 1880s.

Compounded now by the echo chambers of Social Media disinformation?

Shouldn’t we be a bit farther on the curve there? Fuck.

Looks like some knee-jerk downvotes, and very little introspection. He demands the student to ask the question again later when she is interviewing to be an intern. Could help to watch that clip too if you haven’t seen the series. https://youtu.be/bGIT4HT8mME?si=f-vkMCsp8xY9_iBN

So why the hell can’t we be confident? Why are we always on the defensive and the backfoot? To take another Sorkin quote to the party, when will we “Let Bartlett be Bartlett?”. Fuck.

And obviously America wanted the cheaper gas I guess. Fuck 'em. So tired of this country.
