They aren’t the same country, though. Things like that are likely more common in the UK than in the US. It’s hard enough to vote here, yet alone if they pull the ol’ switcheroo on the candidate in just a month.

It doesn’t help that the same billionaires have spent decades dumbing down education and making higher education prohibitively expensive. All while cramming every single wedge issues under the sun into the national narrative to further entrench this tribal mentality. I know all of what you say is true, but it seems all but impossible to combat at this point.

It’s so hard to have any motivation to carry on in this world given a portion of it is fine with all manner of atrocities so long as “their guy” is “winning.” Why try to make anything better – be it more just, equal, enjoyable for all – when a good portion of the country (possibly the world) is so hell-bent on making it worse because they dislike a small subset of some insignificant problem?

Yesterday was the 4th. I just don’t know why anyone celebrated at all. What’s there to celebrate at this point when some will sell out their future, and the future of their own, for a “red hat?”

I love the Alt-Right Playbook series. It’s so well done, but definitely not something I’d expect any Republican voter to understand, yet alone watch.

Didn’t you hear? The president of the United States, who takes that same oath, exact same that any other military service member and elected official takes, is not actually bound by that oath, and can do whatever crimes they want so long as it’s a Republican president and the shriveled sack of justice, the SCrOTUS, says it’s official duties of the office!

What a time to be alive…

Yeah, I can think of an oranger, worster candidate…

I, for one, welcome our new unelected , lifetime-appointed overlords.

I can’t dance!🥲

Especially when you could hold a vote, letting the people decide the method. One option: yeet the person from the trebuchet. The second: yeet something at them from a trebuchet!

Bring outchyo dead vote!!

No, I have not seen it. I’ve heard good things about it, though.

CIA are barred from enacting operations on US soil. It would have to be DOD or FBI unless they were abroad.

And if a company makes a negligent decision, which kills a million people over time, why is no one being put on death row? They can and do have it both ways, but I can still wish for a just world where if companies are people, they can be put to death for mass casualties caused by their decisions.

Thanks for setting me straight. I’ll edit my post to reflect that.

Edit: see comment from @Zipitydew@sh.itjust.works below this.

Throughout history, America has chosen to ignore warnings of impending attacks. Australia notified the US about the Japanese fleet movement and, if I remember, even predicted the target was Hawaii. They did nothing to stop that attack in order up get the US into the war to help Europe when isolationism in the population was making the idea of getting into the war unpalatable.

Wait. In the Minecraft image, the nose should be the face of the drawn character. Yet, the drawn character had a pig hat with a nose. I agree with the similarities, just not the drawing!
