politics

Trans people, woke people, gay people, black people. They would've just use everything that is popular to hate in america, and they are too dumb to realise that.

It sucks being right about all this because going "I told you this would happen" during the worst crisis America has faced since the civil war just makes us look petty and a dick.

I tried warning people about this. I wanted Trump in jail. I wanted Biden to push for large reforms to make people turn away from Trump's lies about how he will personally fix the economy. I wanted the court packed into overturning every bad choice they made in the last 20 years.

And I was called defeatist and pessimistic. "It takes time to arrest someone for a crime they committed." "Bringing that issue up would be political suicide."

And now we're stuck with Trump.

"I mean, did you see that trans athlete in some state I've never even been to, and have no plans on visiting?! That has serious impact to my life!!! We must elect Strong Leader to fix this, stat!" <- just about every qon idiot

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

It's basically what set off WWII and the rise of nazism. The west, monarchies and wealthy owner class saw the rise of communism and wanted to enable or at least let go of the leash that held back a mad dog set on reestablishing a new world order with their friends at the top. It also helped the legacy wealthy people that the mad dog turned his attention to the east and wanted to destroy the heart of communism. It nearly did as it killed 20 million in the eastern front and set back the soviets decades while the west accelerated with wealth.

It's always been a class war ..... when you think about it, it's never stopped.

The number of people still mad at Biden...

I work in a college financial aid office, an one of my responsibilities is outreach to former students whose loans are in delinquent or default status. This is the only part of my job that makes me want to quit, but that's besides the point.

The number of people who rant about Biden forgiving random people's loans but not theirs, or forgiving student loans of celebrities and athletes (that's apparently a talking point for these people?) is staggering.

I like to remind them that 1) Biden did try to offer sweeping forgiveness of 10-20k, but he did not have the authority to do so on his own, so he acted with the authority he had, and 2) now Republicans have full control of the executive and legislative branches, so we can wait to benefit from their plan to help students. I get crickets on that last point.

These people should seriously read into German history...

Or fuck, just watch Star Wars for fucks sake if real history is too hard for them.

and then “hopefully” he’d restore it afterwards.

Because this is, of course, what happens, generally, based on historical facts.

Its well known most dictators step down, once the immediate emergency is over with, right folks?

Right?

I do believe those people are called the party of "Leopards eating my face"

Might? That's literally why the oligarchs put him in power. So they could buy everything cheap.

Don't worry it won't be just a recession this time

Like...who ever even saw that coming?

Literally nobody*

*except any person having more than one braincell.

I was really surprised at first that it was a woman, but then it became pretty clear that she was an old, white woman, and then it at least made more sense. She's (presently) unaffected by any of the bullshit that is being thrust upon women of child-bearing age, the persons of color, the non-binary folk, the young people hurt most by skyrocketing housing costs, etc; and she's thoroughly unapologetic about her lack of empathy for any of those groups of her fellow Americans. Goddamn, what a bummer.

EDIT: Then I made the mistake of continuing to listen, and ~~half or more~~ all of the callers for the next 20 minutes are brainwashed boomers ranting about how Biden was the devil and Trump is going to save us from the illegal immigrants who are ruining all of our lives. Yeesh.
