It took me a moment to notice the edit lol

This is why we have both the house of reps and the senate. The house of reps means that states with a high population get adequate representation, and the senate means that states with lower populations can still have a say instead of having no chance of outvoting the high pop states

Newsom’s gravity powers are pulling them in. They can’t help it

I’m not enough of a tech person to know if all the online support is just bots, but I know of all the republicans and trumpies I’ve talked to irl most of them are nervous and not happy with trump. They’re not full blown against him yet, and most don’t understand that they’re literally doing what he voted for him to do and said he would do, but they’re getting nervous and starting to look at the people fighting against his policies for help (eg dems). Only the most hardcore, unashamed nazi trump supporters aren’t upset. So like, I don’t think all hope is lost… yet

Yes, but also, the craziest people will say either A. That the pastor should be the one preaching (like the people in this case did) or B. That that’s really just politics (even if you’re literally quoting there Bible), and politics should stay out of the church

I’m asking genuinely: I understand that VOA is bad, but isn’t any ruling which blocks the mass firings from DOGE and trump a good thing?

Preferably in a vat of acid

Fr. They’re gonna “accidentally lose” all the records of who was receiving social security and how much they were getting, and they’re gonna make people reapply for it in person, but they have to bring their birth certificate, social security cart, passport, driver’s license with real id, 5 years of tax returns, and probably some new special certificate they start issuing to prove you’re maga a real citizen

Omg you’re right these would be cute names. Especially Larceny

What’s night media? Also what do you mean he doesn’t put his money where his mouth is? Does he donate to Trump or something?

Not who you responded to, but can you share why you don’t like Hasan? I’ve mostly just seen clips of him talking with AOC and Bernie and when he covered the writer’s strike. I don’t know much about him and his content otherwise so I’m wondering if there’s more I should know?

Ffs I literally just got proton. Fuuuuuck that

If his new wife is either American or German then they’d just say he’s has a real and proper wife now

I wouldn’t put it past him to deport her and get a new, younger trophy wife…

Did you ask ChatGPT to write what trump would say about this article?

If your dad can’t respect your privacy and stop sharing your personal info, then it might be time to limit what you tell dad to only strictly necessary things and make sure he knows it’s bc he can’t be trusted right now

There’s virtually no difference between this and divine right to rule. The rich deserve to be rich bc they worked hard is basically the same as God rewarded them with riches for being good. Either ways it’s just saying the rich deserve to be rich bc they’re better. And some of the common people have always gone “hey I’m pretty sure the only difference between us is what families we were born into”

Apparently you’ll be able to toggle between the new lighting and the old lighting, so hopefully that isn’t a problem

I know that congress is useless, but it’s not supposed to be. That’s why I like AOC being a prominent house rep and why I think it’d be great if we could primary out these old “democrats” (that just vote with the republicans half the time anyways) and elect progressives like AOC so that congress will actually work for the people and be a check on the executive power so that we don’t have any more presidents like this in the future… if we have a future

In that ideal world, the ratchet effect would finally work in the opposite direction. Instead of the left being dragged right, we would drag the right to the left. And honestly, it wouldn’t be as hard as you might think. Think of social security. There’s a fuckton of republicans that hate new social safety nets and food stamps and shit, but you’d have to pry their social security out of their cold, dead hands. I’ve already heard plenty of republicans and even full on trumpers complaining and worrying that trump and elon are going to take away their social security. The reality is, even if they don’t like it during the election cycle, once you give them a social safety net, it’s really hard to take it away from them. So you create a new standard for them, a new bottom bar that the right can’t cross for the majority of voters. In that ideal world, we’d also strengthen education across the country because education is the first defense against fascism. As the next generations are better educated, it will become harder and harder for the right to trick them into voting against their best interests
