We’re pretty conditioned to obey. Like, you can be a rebel and insult people or be racist or sexist or “anti-social,” but you go to work and pay your bills. We’re also, mostly, in debt up to our eyeballs the stress of which gives a powerful myopia. Average Americans are way poorer than tv would have you think.

Thirty percent of the population doesn’t even bother to vote as they’ve basically given up, maybe for one of the reasons above or maybe because the government has little to do with day to day life, or maybe something else.

There’s also like a third of the population that is super happy about these developments. It the most amazing thing to have a king again and get back to how things are supposed to be.

There’s also a sort of general American optimism that is super persistent: if you do good, then it’ll be ok. We’re hyper individualized. Do the best you can with what you have. Don’t put anyone out, or depend on anyone else.

Unfortunately, things will have to get a lot worse to motivate us.

You gotta admit, the last couple of hundred years have been a little fishy.

Delightful

Fucking Georgia

A joker.

I can’t believe it. I’ve seen this picture like five times and assumed it was a fake.

I believe government jobs tend to have pretty structured & compensation is public.

Are the aliens going to rape and enslave?

We’re going to make our own DOGE and dismantle the government even harder!

I mean, isn’t Tucker an heir?

I fear we’ll have tanks rolling down the street before we have healthcare.

increasing capital investment and job creation.

So giving rich people money, same plan as the last forty years.

Brilliant.

Lol, you’re glad about it?

I don’t know about God, but I do agree with the outcome.

There are, if memory serves, quite a few examples of God punishing his chosen people and redistributing their wealth. But then you’ve got that whole new testament thing which really pushes the idea that everyone is the chosen people now.

It seems to me that the only one trying to destroy the United States is the United States.

Lewis or Chesterton had something similar, that optimism and pessimism were both dishonest, but patriotism was necessary to existence. Probably Lewis

What’s crazy is that he seemed kind of normal beforehand.

A sitting congresswoman has about the same net worth as I do.

I’m not sure how long feel about that lol.

I’m going to take it as I’m not doing so bad.

Or repeating Elons bs bragging

It absolutely exhausts me that this traitor is our new president.

We’ve been on a certain path for a long time, and to be honest, it was probably baked right into our American bones.

Still sucks though.

I’m here for the geriatric battle Royale.
