democrats in a nutshell: get nothing done, but complain when someone suggest we get someone in the job who will get something done. of course too many of them are bought and paid for just like the entire GOP, but still hilarious that they think they’re going to push back against criticism after losing to a fucking blatant con man fascist.

it’s not about being out with the old and in with the new. It’s about being out with the ineffective and in with the effective.”

fuckin. a.

can’t wait to see how knuckle dragging trump voters try to spin all of this to somehow be biden’s fault

people still absolutely SHOCKED by fascists doing fascism

when is every media outlet going to stop playing along with this stupid “saving money” narrative? it was never about saving money, or efficiency, or literally anything any trumpistan official says it’s about

shift the conversation around the fact that they are deliberately destroying the country, and maybe something productive can happen. this whole “hey waitaminute!?! they’re nOt SAvInG aNy MoNeY!!!” is such a fucking waste of time

people who don’t really do tech besides the very basics

i’ve been building my own PCs since the 90s and have basic hardware and network certs, and want to try linux, but it seems daunting to me

i’ll never not think “hey, fallout!” when i see that flag

the power of actual indoctrination (read: cult mind control) at work

It is normal for older people to be jaded

google “is ought”

dude…americans OVER 30 are miserable too

Where and when did we fucking go wrong?

it’s a story of corruption, cults, and mind control

no, religion didn’t cause this, but the capacity to believe something to be true just you want it to be true (faith)–and no one’s allowed to criticize your “sincerely held religious beliefs”-- 100% allowed this to happen

edit: finally found the quote i was looking for by barry goldwater:

"Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they’re sure trying to do so, it’s going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can’t and won’t compromise. I know, I’ve tried to deal with them.

The religious factions that are growing throughout our land are NOT using their religious clout with WISDOM. I’m frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in ‘A,’ ‘B,’ ‘C,’ and ‘D.’ Just who do they think they are?.. I will fight them every step of the way if they try to dictate their moral convictions to all Americans in the name of “conservatism.”

unfortunately, as of now, that fight is lost

um what…jussi is my favorite kind of pussi

i hate being stuck in a country that pardons literal insurrectionists and condemns whistleblowers. even before the magatrumpistan takeover, it was the same shit when edward snowden spoke up

OP photo near the bottom

hey, the same shit happens to me! i thought i was the only one…

its like getting text messages from that friend you don’t remember making when you were blackout drunk last night

lol if you’re shocked now, just wait until they get to actually rewriting established, agreed-upon, undisputed history, like deleting articles like this, and then going ahead and deleting the fact that slavery ever even happened in this country

“impossible!! that could never happen!”

it’s literally happening…

government immediately appealed the ruling, and said in a filing Tuesday that the judge’s order lacked proper jurisdiction “because the presidential actions they challenge are not subject to judicial review.”

i mean don’t these judges know how fascism works?

imagine not being satisfied with only 1 punisher patch on your rentacop uniform

if the only thing holding people back is a fucking book

that’s the mindset. they’re raised to believe that humans literally aren’t capable of being any definition of “good” without church. and even still, as mentioned above, you can pretty much do all the stealing, adultering, raping, murdering you please anyway as long as you “repent” and ask forgiveness. it’s all such a steaming truckload of horseshit

it doesn’t take too long. just get banned by a sub, then post on the sub under an alt. they banned all my accts going back 14 years by fingerprint
