There’s also this gem. Our #leaders currently had higher levels of brain-lead during childhood than any other generation since and likely before. People talk about term limits everytime a #politician strokes out or shits their pants at the podium, which, goes without saying, has become a regular occurrence, but no one talks about how many of these people are possibly, maybe, even very likely just going insane from lead.

The stupefying thing about this is that even after realizing this, there are still plenty of people who will support watching their #rights evaporate to continue the senseless, undignified stanning of #trickledown, #neoliberal, #billionaire economics. For a seemingly abundant number of soon-to-be and recent retirees, loss of labor rights is of no concern, and could even offer an opportunity to act on their long held, bone-picking resentment towards younger gen’s.
@Impish4249 @Smart_e_Disharmony the feckless “leadership” of the democrats is absolutely part of how we got here. We need to counter Trump with things that actually help people, real people, not hedge funds, Israel, or billionaires. The democrats are in the way and they’ve made it clear repeatedly that they won’t use any power they have to do even the bare minimum (not genocide). And save for Biden’s murmers about the oligarchy as he left office, the democrats are entirely guilty of serving it.
@Smart_e_Disharmony @Impish4249 the last year can be easily glossed over if you hardly cared about it until it became politically convenient. I never understood why people let their morals be dictated by the current political climate.

The boundary between reality and parody continues to dissolve.

I don't worry that much about the fash. My advice: focus more on the non-fash people that you will have around you when the fash shows up.

Because some of the people that you think are allies, will be the first to point to the floor boards and say "He's in there!"

I prefer reliable people.

@[email protected] Yup that’s how I think about it. What good they’ve done is intentionally used to deflect attention from what the real purpose is, subterfuge. We don’t need state entities undermining the autonomy of other soverign states for exploitive purposes.
@PariaSansPortefeuille imagine seeing democrats approve of Rubio unanimously and think that leftists are the problem.
