Contrary opinion: My frustrations with what's happening are now such that whenever I hear smoothbrain MAGA bullshit, I unleash the full Australian descriptive arsenal at them.
Since I started doing that, MAGAts don't know what to do. They literally didn't imagine 'leftists' would talk mean to them.

Dear Democratic politicians, may I make a humble suggestion?
Stop with the constant use of the F word. Not only is it tacky, it loses its impact when you do it so much, and honestly it looks forced like you’re trying to be tough.
Just a suggestion.

Only just found out that the Daily Grail made the New York Times in 2023.
Well, kinda...the NYT wrote a story about a new jewellery store that called itself Daily Grail, but noted they couldn't get the website, because us.

I didn't mention it in the article, but I have a crazy theory that the Duffer Brothers included Prince and Bowie in the finale as a piece of magic: Bowie died Jan 2016; Prince died in April; Stranger Things debuted July; Trump elected Nov.

I really can't get over how much society is sleepwalking into a nightmare with this - Overton Window shift, frog slowly being boiled, whatever you call it.
Just 10 years ago this would have caused a major scandal - it's straight up white supremacy. Now it's not even a blip on people's radars.
