  • Classic democratic party.

    Waiting until the last possible minute to begin pretending to protect Americans from the entitlements of billionaires.

    We knew Trump was running again

    We knew the media was sane washing everything Trump does, did, and will do

    He made specific promises to be a dictator and hinted at this being the last election

    He specifically promised to use the army domestically.

    Now, it’s almost a month after he won and Democrats are considering maybe doing something about framework regarding the army being used domestically.

    Both sides aren’t the same, but they’re both owned by the same people.

    Once upon a time Democrats could float the idea of capitulation to business interests to maintain Americans global business dominance. Nowadays any democrat who isn’t fully progressive on workers rights is just another flavor of corporate Greed.


  • Generally, farmers bitch and cry about anything and everything, except for the things they actually should care about. Like sustainably, and corporate ownership of supply chains that collude on prices and distribution networks while putting all the risk on farmers.

    They are one of the more entitled voter blocks who live in a zero sum, anything to ‘survive’ at the expense of everything else mentality.

    We’d have dust bowl events every 5 years if farmers had their way. It’s absolutely an industry that demands government intervention, because sustainability isn’t short term profitable.

    I’m not suggesting that farmers are inherently bad/greedy/destructive of the environment, as the food supply chain often forces farmers to act this way, but that doesn’t change their current attitudes and approach to agriculture.

    My farmchair quarterback call is that Farmers crop yields should be half of their income, and sustainable practices, limited fertilizer and pesticide use, and overall soil quality and health should act as a multiplier to crop yields. So lower yields but better farming practices pays more than high yield, environment destroying, agriculture


  • Never thought I’d see the day where I hoped a McConnell plan would work in any capacity.

    He’s allowed Trump to exist so project 2025 can happen.

    Moscow Mitch will do anything to make project 2025 happen, maybe he was convinced the “normal” Republicans can mitigate Trump’s penchant for treason and sedition against America and that mitigation risk was worth the project 2025 payout.

    Hopefully he is right about mitigating Trump. Otherwise, I hope McConnell is the first Republican publicly executed because Trump absolutely wants to be able to publicly execute anyone he doesn’t like.


  • If you want specifics, Project 2025 is absolutely the roadmap they are using.

    TL:DR The broadstrokes of America’s decline over the next 4 years are:

    • Destroy education so poor people cannot understand what’s happening to them and how to stop it, and only wealthy will have the means to educate and employ themselves.

    • Destroy labor unions so everyone is individually fighting a united corpo government for livable wages

    • Change local and federal government so elections are pageantry instead of democracy

    • Mandate religion in school, work, government, and eventually the home.

    • Online ID so your internet use can be monitored and tracked

    • Drill baby drill

    • White supremacy/deportation will be super messy and fuck the economy

    • Whatever the consequences of not understanding tariffs are

    If you’re wealthy, none of this applies to you. This election was to confirm if money and power are above the law.

    America overwhelmingly decided they prefer a king unbound by Magna Carta over law, order, and democracy.


  • Not voting has the same consequences, so those aren’t too smart either.

    Gen Z are entitled like boomers, but with almost no economic prospects outside their parents.

    Which makes sense, since loads of Gen Z were priced out of a future before they could even start earning, so there’s no point in giving effort

    At least Trump will guarantee Gen Z nearly unlimited well paying work if they’re interested in bounty hunting immigrants and tracking fertility


  • But doesn’t Trump hate China?

    Obviously he’s extremely succeptable to bribery/flattery etc so he could easily “art of the deal” Taiwan off to China.

    Personally I feel like he’s definitely having a vindictive king renaissance so I’m expecting a lot of inflexible decisions made entirely on impulse - because that’s exactly what the people want.

    Don’t know if I see him going to war with China as getting bribed is better than fighting and potentially losing. Plus, fighting implies you don’t have enough power/influence to win without fighting and Trump is all about projecting power.

    If he does want war, I wouldn’t be surprised to see an American foreign legion formed out of the 20 million immigrants he wants to deport





  • A good chunk of Trump’s cancer is caused by terrible left wing policy.

    I hate Trump and everything about the far right, but I can understand people falling in love with the idea of a strongman who will cut through bullshit and do what people want.

    The left is supposed to mitigate income inequality, and make life good for their citizens.

    Both left/right idealogies are entirely owned by corporate interests across the globe - this is the crux of the entire issue.

    The problems facing the middle class are entirely artificial and intentional. There are a myriad of reasons, but the end result is that we have one societies/laws/reality for the wealthy, and a completely different set of rules for the population.

    The left promises to solve everything with equality and the right promises to resolve everything with hierarchy.

    Neither idealogy has any intention of doing anything but funnel as much money/power to big business until their political careers are done.

    The obvious difference is the “Right” idealogies are objectively bad for everyone but the ultra wealthy. Unfortunately being ultra wealthy gives you the ability to own national anti-reality propaganda networks.

  • I fully hear you and agree.

    Every 5 days there’s a software update, for something that just changes one or two things slightly - but rarely if ever is it an improvement.

    Oh, you want to do this simple thing you were able to easily do 3 days ago?

    Now you have to change 4 nondescript settings, use 3 separate hotkey commands, watch a YouTube video, and troubleshoot for hours to get a once basic function to preform correctly.

    I’d bet that the AI system will be used exclusively to identify + paywall things you’ll want/need to use your phone.

    seems like you want volume control, based on your history you want 1% volume. Subscribe to" basic functions" package to unlock a volume option. Upgrade to “basic functions premium” for up to 5 volume adjustments a week!

    Still not enough AI control? The “basic functions unlimited” fully unlocks both volume buttons and for a limited time unlocks the spacebar for 5 minutes an hour from midnight to 6am!
