The main difference between conservatives and liberals boils down to who they want to help. Conservatives look to help those within their, while liberals looks to those outside their circle.
Anyone thinking the Republicans ever had their best interest at heart was seriously delusional

What I'm waiting for is the rebellion. I want to see how the fight gets started. Is it the Dems who are ready to just burn down the building cause the foundation is rotten, or will it be the federal employees who are fired and refuse to leave and chain themselves to the door? Or is it the people?

So much going on with these federal workers
1) I wouldn't want to be working with this administration
2) The offer is a risk cause he ain't paying out 7 months. Hell, Elon offered 2 months and didn't pay
3) Our tax dollars are being held over their heads as leverage to get them out. Don't love that

While in Davos, Trump declared that he'll impose tariffs on every country unless they have factories in the US.
Look, we're all for more American jobs, but if the goal is to bring down prices, it's been demonstrably clear this is the exact wrong path.
But hey, oligarchs gonna oligarchs

So Trump says he's going to instruct the Fed to lower rates?
1) he doesn't get to do that
2) what does he think that's gonna do?

The fact that Clownstick's anti-trans executive order is so ignorant of science and basic biology that it declares men don't exist is such a perfect analogy for far right idiocy that it should be preserved for future study

I mean, can we just discuss how the party of limited government just went out there and declared what genders people can be?

Memento Mori

If inauguration happens indoors and no one is there to see it, did it really happen?

Look, I'm all for tiktok going back up, but there's a suspiciously large amount of meta content on there now...

Ironically, I joined Tiktok in 2020 because Trump wanted to ban it. I thought there must be something to this app if he wants it gone. Now it's 2025, and Trump wants to save tiktok, which makes me want to leave it.
There's a common denominator here, I just can't place my finger on it...

Fun fact about TikTok shutting down, ByteDance also operates the Marvel Snap card game, which also went dark today

Tiktok was a place where I learned about current events from regular people, found out about books no one was talking about, shared my love of videos games and scifi/fantasy media, and found out that the things that we think make us different actually connect us to in a small community.

This is going to be a tough year, but always remember to take care of yourself amongst all the craziness. Get your rest, drink your water, go for a walk. If you're thinking about therapy, do it.
It'll be rough, but we will get through it

Spent about 3 hours finishing Death Stranding tonight. That game goes places.
Now I can't get to sleep cause I'm still thinking about it.
