@jensorensen another aspect that pisses me off is Trump didn't even try to manufacture consent for the inevitable war crimes committed in our name. He thinks so little of us.

@jensorensen you're so right. It's extremely difficult to find USA made products or even North America/Mexico made products, but I thought it was important for me to put my money where my mouth is too. I get all my jeans from Dearborn Denim, and I very happy with my boots and sneakers from Thursday Boots.

@jensorensen if I understand the emotion your describing, I feel like it's me occasionally sitting down, beer in hand, and mourning the destruction of everything I was raised to believe about America.

@jensorensen I think for most people it's not realistic to cut out the middle man entirely but maybe it's a good start to reduce your presence. I've been on a years long journey to de-google my life. There's lots of videos and blogs out there but I recommend people start with customizing their privacy settings first. It's zero cost, monetary and functionality, and is instantly rewarding.

@jensorensen it's a gross attack against protected speech. Also related, tho I disagree with most libertarian talking points, they absolutely nailed how few rights you have at an American border. That applies to US citizens as well.

@jensorensen it's bizarre really. Going about your day but knowing that something fundamental has changed. Yet everyone around you is convinced there are functional checks and balances remaining.

@jensorensen see this is what I don't understand. Every computer game, Clancy book, and action movie showed Russians as our adversary... And the GOP expects me to just forget all that programming because Trump says. They need to go listen to Reagan's speeches again.

@MartinaNeumayer oh wow. I'm in the process of rearranging my home network and was thinking about including a low cost cloud option. Thanks!
