Love it!

Problem is, though, that he wasn’t wrong about that.

Just deeply hypocritical.

You’re not wrong, but if DOGE taught us one thing, they taught us that it actually is possible to delete specific terms from every document in a government database.

I don’t think the Dems will care enough to try it though.

Texas, where a dusting is tantamount to a blizzard in the northern states.

Yeah just like how all of those Civil War Generals were erased from history for betraying their country for the sake of preserving slavery.

This is nowhere near an appropriate comparison to Akhenaten.

Let’s be real. Americans are incapable of shame.

The 2025 elections, where every Donald-won district from 2024 flipped, is empirical evidence to the contrary. It seems that people were on-board for a mass-deportation, but not for the targeting of legal immigrants and the military occupation of American cities.

But sure. It’s your world and your algorithm. Think what you want.

Agreed.

It also expects that people are content to actually fix things, or sew tears in clothing, or whatever, and that often requires a little research and initiative in a world where it’s been made abundantly cheap and convenient to just replace almost everything.

I don’t think it’s necessarily ignorance so much as a combination of laziness and incredible convenience.

A few years ago I taught myself to fix my laptop screen via Youtube and saved myself a $400 repair, but most people would just chuck it and buy a new one.

Leave it to the Donald Administration not to recognize basic laws of physics and, maybe, the necessity to make logistical changes.

Hopefully the next headline is about how an ICE vehicle slid off a cliff.

simply protecting yourself from hostile third parties

That is some seriously bootlicking, euphemistic nonsense right there.

And that goes for all of these fucking leeches: The beloved pop star. The legendary athlete. The really nice lady who gave away ten billion. The soft-spoken revered investment guru who cosplays as middle class.

Every damn one of them should be paying 100% in taxes over a billion dollars, but they never will. Their greed is a more important consideration than whether or not you can get health care.

I wish my life were so easy that my biggest worry was some random politician, in a place I don’t even live in, swearing their oath on a book I don’t like.

Goddamnit I hate this world and fucking social media, turning everyone into a mini politician.

This shit has no material effect on your life, and you should be angry about the stuff that does. (like wages.)

That’s okay.

It is mostly possible to erase a person’s legacy, at least in the physical sense. Egypt almost erased a whole-ass pharaoh from history. (Akhenaten)

Yay Bonnie!

And it’s not like the US cares about losing a few grunts for millions of dollars.

Exactly the point. Likely the people that take that fire are people who come from an exceedingly poor class and have no value in our ruling parties’ eyes anyway. (Not saying I agree.)

Hate to say it but I have a bunch in my pantry. I don’t expect Donald to do anything about grocery prices nor the Democrats if they take Congress. Inflation will run rampant until the next economic crash.

An emergency water supply. (Everyone should have one regardless.) I live in a major city and have enough in my pantry to last me a month if I absolutely need it, and longer if I had to ration.

Firewood, perhaps? Since you’re rural.

Maybe an electric blanket, as it works on significantly less electricity than your thermostat and keeps you very warm and cozy.

And peanut butter.

That motherfucker.

And she was fully on board with more military bloat, you being poor, and kids being genocided.

But Blue MAGA is okay with this stuff as long as a person doesn’t say any naughty words.

Personally, I don’t think it’s going to end up being logistically possible for Donald’s government to do that, owing to elections being run at the state level instead of federal. I am sure they will identify a few key races and counties and attempt to intimidate voters though.

Even with his Gestapo, he can’t even control a handful of major cities.
