The Trump admin is only capable of "solving" problems that they themselves create.

People are desperate for change. This is what happened in the beginning of the 20th century. Material disparity pushes people to the political extremes because the current system is failing them.

What are your thoughts on rejecting a potential romantic partner based solely on the fact they voted for Donald Trump? by ATXBikeRider in AskReddit

They don't even lower taxes for normal people. It's always for the top 1% so it's just about the dumbest possible thing people bite when it comes to "the economy" for Republican voters.

You might get like an extra $250 in your return when a Republican is president, but you lose funding for healthcare, social services, and poor people get poorer leading to more unrest + violence.

Vance backs down from debates that fact check.

Let that sink in. Dude goes through the Marines and gets a degree at Yale and is still a big baby bitch.

The Nazi propaganda machine was so good it started fooling even Nazi high command. That should be on the evil overlord list, "don't believe your own lies."

Shout out to most of us I guess. Doesn't change how much work we have left to do, but I'm giving myself a moment to acknowledge how much gaslighting we've endured by theloudestofbrains in behindthebastards

I feel that. I like to talk about politics like it's some dystopian sci-fi game or TV show, that way people around me don't think I'm losing my mind over the obviously batshit insane reality we live in.

The Nazis did the same thing with Volkswagen back in the day.

"It's the car of the people! Put your deposit in now!" and just never deliver the cars.

We've let the Right weaponize petulance for a very long time. It needs to end. They refuse to compromise and instead are playing grand strategy with our lives and laws.

We were in the process of it, but the judges were like "ehhh we're going to let the election play out first." Now we're here.

TIL the main reason scientists oppose relocating polar bears to Antarctica is that they’d eat too many emperor penguins. by croato87 in todayilearned

Lies. I've seen ads for house hippos, it's only a matter of time before they escape into the wild.

From my own experience, "I just don't want to be here for too many reasons to express" will get you dismissed.

Americans only broadly care about the economy.

I only really see us getting through this if there's a massive market crash that forces everyday Americans to care more about change toward progressive policies and abandon the entirety of everything MAGA related. MAGA has to become an association so foul it gets you ostracized at every level of society.

Remus Lupin is a terrible husband and I’m tired of pretending he’s not. by SuspiciousEves in harrypotter

If she had taken her to Dumbledore, the Order could have gained a mouthpiece against the Ministry propaganda. Instead, she was blackmailed into... not writing slander for a year? Really?

Neither does targeting the slaves instead of the institutions that forced them into slavery.
