Gather around for a personal story.

The year was 2015 and a friend who lives in a school bus visited town. We were all smoking weed in his bus and he said "Oh please let Clinton loose". I asked WTF are you thinking? And he responded that he spent lots of time protesting and that it didn't work because people weren't listening. It seems no matter how many terrible fascists get elected, liberals still won't listen to him.

I hate how the Bible is being used as a nationalist prop. Nationalism was a theme of the old testament and Jesus called his followers to move beyond national identity. But that's how fascism works, it apropariates instead of actually creating something new.

The discourse on American politics sometimes devolves to "Leftists who won't vote" & "MAGA Republicans" teaming up to "getting revenge on liberals".

This one is spicy but it does work on many levels. Manufacturing consent exists, so unless your system is Anarchism, it doesn't really reflect the "will" of the people.

He shared pictures of her c+section against her will, is that drug behavior or asshole behavior? You decide!

This is how you get parents who really care about their trans children to go on the black market for drugs. Fucking rage inducing.

People are right to point out that he should not simply cut a check to the government, instead he should lobby for higher wealth taxes like he lobbies for patents or voucher schools. Anything less is just free PR.

Proprietary software makers: our software is more secure than open source because the public can't go looking for bugs to exploit.

Guy is probably getting scared of his board members and is wanting to secure himself from being outed. There's a reason why we are now hearing about his drug problem, and those stories are likely coming from his board members.

Sorry but living under the pandemic and having a moron POTUS say "we don't need masks cuz lol bleach is the cure" is enough of a difference.

I think their goal is to displace 90% into Egypt and kill the rest. Still genocide.
