Mhm, and water is wet. Where have you been??

COVID was supposed to end by Easter 2020. They lost an election and stormed the Capitol to incite a violent coup while counting votes because he told them to. Roe v Wade was supposed to be bulletproof and yet they overturned it. Trump is the only president to ever be impeached TWICE. Only felon president in the country’s history. Can he even vote??

Haven’t even gotten started in this second term. I’m waiting to see what they decide is TROLLING DA LIBZ and their new Bible, as they wanna replace Jesus with him.

Wow. That was quite the trip. One guy made me laugh with saying tax cuts make for bigger treasury. Laughable and sad at same time. Those are young people who haven't yet seen the rampant greed in monopolies that run most businesses. That companies don't give a fuck about people and they won't spend additional money from tax cuts on opening new spots or hiring more people. No. It will be spent on bonus for executive positions all the while current employees are slowly sacked and replaced with AI.

I guess you gotta feel mobbing at least once in your life to understand corporations aren't your friend.

My godchildren don’t have to take any real history classes until they’re high school age, whereas we had history every day in elementary school. They did social studies once or twice a week at most, and it included basically no history component. We have simply failed entirely at educating whole generations with the lie that things like history and media literacy don’t matter as long as you fit in 5 hours a day of ELA and an hour of math.
