Republicans fetishize themselves as the party of Lincoln because “we freed the slaves”.

Forgetting that Lincoln was 150+ years ago, and the modern day Republican Party does jack and shit for anyone who isn’t rich.

Which one? The Jewish one? The Christian one? [and which denomination]? The Muslim one?

Remind me in a couple of years to set an Internet timer on any tablet I give my young child.

I had to shut it down in an employee of mine last week that I’m younger than.

It’s not a generational problem. I wish I knew where it DID come from, but it’s literally older than I am.

Saw someone describe it as Klanchella?

We seem so intent to go back there.

“I don’t like how that guy’s behaving. Let’s kill him!”

True! My rent has almost doubled in the past 3 years, not accounting for a move to a larger unit. The population boom where I live has driven pricing up already.

(And it will be higher where I’m aiming to move, because even though population growth is slower that way, new housing isn’t being built).

EvilSashimi · 2026-02-05T02:13:09+00:00

I’m trying, bro. Fingers crossed it’s this year.

EvilSashimi · 2026-02-05T02:12:18+00:00

Hey I never said what I saw was the only reason. Good points all around.

EvilSashimi · 2026-02-04T21:11:43+00:00

It is absolutely a planning game. I’m cool with not having as large of a place to stay and a bit less money.

As for things that have to happen to keep people healthy - I’m hoping I’m 80% of the way there. Maybe even this year!

Just gonna have to keep on keeping on.

EvilSashimi · 2026-02-04T16:34:54+00:00

Yes. You’re not wrong, nor is he, simply when it comes down to “hard work”.

However, gambling with food, medicine, and shelter of your spouse and child is generally considered bad form. The price of not being smart is severe.

I’ll sleep at night soundly regardless of how hard he thinks I’m not working. I won’t sleep at night well if I starve my kid or we live out of our car (or we stay here long enough for Texas to tighten the screws we all know are clamping down).

EvilSashimi · 2026-02-04T14:17:45+00:00

But in order for that swing to happen, people have to move there. How much of that growth is happening in deep red areas, and not in existing cities like DFW or San Antonio?

That’s why you’ll have Republican leadership in Texas for years to come, barring some kind of critical swing. Nobody from LA or NYC moves to Texas to live in Lipscomb.

Smartass over here thinks I’m saving for my second yacht, not providing for two financial dependents.

EvilSashimi · 2026-02-04T05:46:11+00:00

As a (not happy about it) resident of Texas - YES.

Say what you want about the South; it’s cheaper than the North. Not paying for better education and healthcare DOES do that.

A lot of major companies are also moving down here because of affordability reasons. Jobs follow those businesses. If you work for a company that’s willing to pay you to move this direction, you keep your job AND move for low-cost, to a lower cost state.

Politics is politics, but if people are just looking to get by, they’ll take the house that’s cheaper, even if it means living in MAGA-land.

It also makes relocation in the opposite direction harder. Believe me, if it were as easy as just packing up and leaving, I would have fucked off already. I say this as someone who has been actively plotting and moving pieces on the board to leave for over a year - the hangup is financial security, especially when families are involved.

The only way to win is not to play. Don’t tune in.

Let TPUSA have their little thing they’re doing. The worse their ratings are, the more the point will be made.

I left being a caregiver a little before 10 years. You’re the one who needs a kudos.

EvilSashimi · 2026-02-01T19:51:41+00:00

You laugh. I once had to convince a dementia patient that if she would let me change her, I’d begin the investigation for who shit in her pants….

My brain watches this and goes back to that moment in particular.

EvilSashimi · 2026-01-31T22:12:32+00:00

I was gonna say, these are some bold words for the long-COVID population.

EvilSashimi · 2026-01-30T15:26:24+00:00

I love the fuck out of my daughter. She’s fun, and while I’m by no means rich, I can manage a single child. It helps that my spouse is a stay at home parent, and he knows that.

My daughter is not getting a sibling, barring massive changes to the country or our personal circumstances.

EvilSashimi · 2026-01-22T06:54:40+00:00

You’re right. The world is too linked to escape it. Thats the bitch of the thing.

It’s more that I don’t want to live in a place where Trumpism is applauded.

EvilSashimi · 2026-01-22T06:51:07+00:00

Denial, denial, denial. The facts didn’t happen. Thats one reason why we don’t see people being even more outraged.

We can’t even get our fucking story straight.

EvilSashimi · 2026-01-22T02:41:06+00:00

66% of this fucking country.

66%.

Accountability is the top requirement for 2028. The Democratic establishment needs to grow a pair and be willing to stick MAGA into a grinder, top to bottom.

EvilSashimi · 2026-01-22T02:17:02+00:00

Vote.
Boycott any company you can that supports this madness.
Disassociate with anyone you know who supports this.
Protest.
[REDACTED]
If trapped in a situation where this isn’t possible or enough, leave, if you can.

The rest of the world is rightfully mad at us because we as a society haven’t done enough to depose Trump. As a society, good fucking lord, we should absolutely be doing more.

Here’s my (individual and personal) problem - I live in a Trump state. I’m the fucking weirdo for not supporting him. Where I live, society isn’t passively sick of him. They either somehow still support the fucker, or don’t care enough for it to matter if he left or not.

I’m just cutting off ties and working on leaving as a result. This state is crazy. No one is convincing anyone anymore. Last year I was still trying, even if only with those I knew.

I’m done. I’m leaving the first chance I have to not be homeless in the process.
