(They're doing something! Marking time until they inherit modest property and turn into reactionaries.)

You should be scared out of your fucking mind, sure, but if you haven't come to grips with that, start. Right now. Or you are a liability to yourself and others.

Then pick the fuck up and start doing something useful. Daylight's burning.

Some of us before others, but eventually, all of us.

As long as the stupid orange man is sucking air, none of us are safe. Remember that.

I was getting pretty incensed at all the obviously well off larger accounts on here that are neither federal employees, SNAP recipients, or depending on the ACA for their insurance.

The same accounts that thought fighting over the ACA was bs and are now saying it was the most important thing ever.

As we found out with the Stupid Sexy Nazi Man, many of them are mega-squishy on anything but vague anti-establishment vibes

I am not happy with this Senate bullshit, but I am seeing “both parties are the saaaaaame” shit on more normal social media.

Too many supposedly left-of-center people don’t actually hate the Republican Party and it shows.

How dare you remind me of this stupid bullshit

in this administration, it doesn't really matter. e.g., I doubt there's a serious intelligence service in the world that doesn't have the passwords to Trump's social media accounts. like, the Swiss federal police probably have them.

but after the clown show ends? even if it's J. Davenport Vance?

I think you have been staring into the Device a bit too long and toasted your little otter thinkus on Poasts

I don't think you were, I think the answer is, people have the fucking memory of goldfish and we gotta perform it again
