Makes me think about this TikTok post. Because we have to laugh whenever we can in hopes of surviving this 💩 storm.

This granny is all of us.
I know I couldn’t do it!

Such a great way to think about it. So much better than feeling like we’re screaming into the void.
But, can we also do this? 😬👇🏻

I DON'T SHARE MY THOUGHTS BECAUSE I THINK IT WILL CHANGE THE MINDS OF PEOPLE WHO THINK DIFFERENTLY.

I SHARE MY THOUGHTS TO SHOW THE PEOPLE WHO ALREADY THINK LIKE ME THAT THEY'RE NOT ALONE.

I saw a post that said, can’t we just go back to calling the super wealthy “robber barons”?
Because that truly is an appropriate name for them.

Yes, it’s insanity how one person can affect so many to serve his own purpose. We, as one American at least, hope it’s perceived that way across the world.
Most days it feels like a dystopian nightmare that we’re unable to wake from.
Hoping your visit is enjoyable.

They 100% rigged it! People just let it go that he all but said it was rigged! I’m still so disheartened that Kamala didn’t protest and basically slinked away without a peep! 🤬
Democrats need to learn how to fight!

The supposed reason the election wasn’t investigated was bc it wld make Dems look hypocritical.
Damn, the GOP has their shit down. 🤬🤬
Who TF cares if the only options are
Democracy or Authoritarianism?!
It would’ve been so much better to have gone down as hypocrites rather than be where TF we are!

When I first heard that, I was so confused! Food in Chicago not good?! Huh?!

Now it makes so much sense, more than I could’ve hoped for. 🤣

Sounds like bullshit and propaganda this morning. 🙄

To rephrase the quote from the CEO,
the shareholders will be disappointed if we don’t continue to inflate the cost of our customers’ electricity service.

Add “anarchist” to the list, right beside “Nobel/noble”. 🙄

Seeing the quick manner in which she spews out lies, you think she’d at least learn how to pronounce the words she’s using.

Makes sense. He chose integrity for as long as possible, but knew it would cause him trouble going forward.

Not as many are cult members as they want us to think.

trump and regime are completely lawless, have complete disregard for the Constitution and country, in addition to knowing his being elected was essentially a Get Out of Jail Free Card, but we’re supposed to believe he and Musk didn’t rig 2024?!

Having spent some time on TikTok, the conspiracy theories haven’t stopped.
Only look into it if you’ve got time to fall down a rabbit hole.
It’s weirdly interesting how so many are claiming it was done by those who were previously his allies. They’re also including Erica’s BIZARRE connections.

Having lived in SWFL where snowbirds from Canada flock from Oct - March, I can’t count the number of people who said their final goodbyes to the U.S. earlier this year. Many have sold their winter properties, adding to the flooded home market.
On top of everything else, this will kill the economy.

Their perception of everything is so amazingly warped. 🤬

He is obviously a man with integrity. I wonder if he had been contemplating retirement and felt the need to continue for the good of his country, but realized, if he remained, the only direction forward is defeat.

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

While I think this is wonderful, and what has made America what it was, until trump, Neanderthals will believe that these amazing, intelligent kids took those spots from someone more deserving. Like someone whose grandparents, or great grandparents, were immigrants.
Sorry to be a buzzkill.

PROVIDING EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE TO A NON CITIZEN IS A STANDARD PRACTICE IN ALMOST EVERY COUNTRY‼️IT’S HUMAN DECENCY‼️

Point. The fact that the agents didn’t have masks on, and weren’t obviously affected, to me, means they are even less human than what they’ve shown to us. 🤷‍♀️
