“Will 2026 finally be the year when a critical mass of Americans wakes up and realizes that Republicans always screw up the economy?”

I live in a red state.

LOL. LMAO even.

They WILL vote against their interests as long as the R is next to the name.

I’m so tired of unelected people making rules for my life.

When people ask if I trust the government on any conversation that things like this come up I tell them my motto is “Don’t trust the government, unless it means trusting a corporation. Then DEFINITELY don’t trust the corporation.”

Dunno your country, but if you’re not from the US, the people that say those jingoistic celebrations of the country are the most right wing of us. I live in a very heavily right wing state and patriotism is laid on so fucking thick because if somehow people were to take off the patriotism glasses they’d figure out they’re getting robbed blind.

My dad has been saying that the Republicans were going to be the ones taking guns when people go on about “gun grabbing democrats” since Reagan apparently. I was only long enough to hear him say that around Bush era onward but this is my shocked face that he was right.

I could be wrong but I figured the most humane was was an oxygen displacement gas seeing as how quickly a body goes unconcious without o2.

My dad has always said it’d be the Republicans who would take guns.

They’re working for it.

Crazy. I want to play a game with staying power.

I want the game that I look at and go “When did I get 1000 hours on the game?” Because I keep coming back to it.

But this is where we agree. I want to play games that are fun.

Seasons, dailies, battle passes, etc aren’t the things that I see as “staying power”, that’s microtransactions to a sunk cost fallacy.

Staying power to me is like Terraria, where I go in, build a world. Run around. Then wander off to something else… to wander back and play more Terraria.

I stopped trusting that from 2020. I thought there was hope for people then they turned around and voted again.

I read it somewhere that anyone talking rule of law or the Constitution anymore is starting to sound like sovereign citizens, waving a document around like it’s a magic shield that in reality does absolutely nothing.

I would like to disagree with this thought process, but I can’t.

The millennials were robbed of their chance on the world stage by the boomers.

Gen X over there like “What the fuck!?!” (I’m a millennial, I get the plight.)

While I agree, the cult has fractured a few times. It’s the irritating part of Trump that he’s just smart enough to back off when he knows he’s losing his cult.

The vaccine thing is one of them. Early on there was a speech where he’s talking about how good it was, and that he has it and that his people should have it. His crowd booed him. That moment he went full anti-vax in his rhetoric. Trump is in the lead and pouring gasoline on the fire, but he doesn’t have control over his own cult if it goes a way he doesn’t want it to go. Unfortunately he’s just smart enough to keep them happy knowing they’ll tear him apart if he steps in their way.

HE WAS THE ONE THAT PUSHED OPERATION WARP SPEED! The literal thing that created the shots! The method of them being “developed too fast” was Trump!

We were always at war with Eastasia.

A southern term I grew up hearing and will use “I wouldn’t cross the street to piss on him if he was on fire.”

Hypocrisy to them is a virtue.

Had me going in the first half, not gonna lie.

I mean… He’s a Missouri AG. Both Senator positions from Missouri are filled with AGs who didn’t finish their terms being MAGAt mouthpieces, only so many ladders to climb.

Two years of free credit monitoring, which when you sign up for explicitly in the fine print gives permission for the credit monitoring service to sell your data.

As in: WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?

They’re the ones that are supporting tyranny. The 2A shit was always a grift.

Cripes…No Democrats, it’s not fighting Texas, it’s fighting against every damn red state.

Speak to shit realistically for the love of democracy.

From Missouri: THANK YOU!

No no no… you don’t get it. Walmart isn’t cowards.

They funded Project 2025. This is EXACTLY what they want.
