What can we do but laugh.
Anxiety and depression are 3-5 times more common in democrats than republicans. Why? Two possibilities arise: one is that democrats are more aware of how bad things are. The other is that democrats have more cognitive dissonance (internal contradictions) that cause psychological stress.

The Trump deregulation process begins. Shower heads and toilets and sinks first. Then let’s get the damn bureaucrats out of all these things they have unconstitutionally stuck themselves into.

It seems that tariffs will draw more production back to the US, and that will lead to increased demand for and wages for workers. While decreases foreign sweat shops. Seems progressives should be loving this, but because Trump is doing it, they hate it. Progressives are controlled by their hate.

If CO2 induced climate change is not real—if it is mostly a myth created by deeply biased research community and deeply biased media and government—wouldn’t it be a shame to poison so much land mining for toxic battery metals? Won’t it be a shame to waste all the money? Let’s get the science right.

Who voted for the bureaucrats that have power over us in DC?

BlueSky is a herd of independent minds.

Democrats are for lowering corporate taxes (on foreign corporations). Awesome. And they have learned about the Constitution. This is great news!!!

American universities are little more than indoctrination centers with their own hedge fund.

It is interesting to see the progressives now mentioning the Constitution, civil disobedience, fascism, calling out authoritarianism. They are just like the republicans while Biden was president. But not as morally consistent.

The personality defects and psychological disturbance of BlueSky posters is impressive. So many people here are bent, internally contradictory, ignorantly support fascism, are in denial, defensive (as hell) and above all, profoundly irrational and hateful. It’s been an unpleasant edication.

Disagreement + Rationality = Honest Disagreement

Disagreement + Emotion = Hate.

Trump says he likes water. Progressives declare water to be fascist.

About one out of 50 or so progressives can actually engage in a rational discussion. All the rest simply turn to insults and deflection or outright denial as soon as their internal contradictions start to be exposed. It is extremely predictable. BTW, These are the traits of an addict.

So the dollar value of an asset increases because of inflation. Capital gains tax makes you pay taxes on that difference even though the asset is worth no more. Just the dollar is worth less. So capital gains taxes are in part a tax we pay for the government’s destruction of our savings. We Suckers!

The neonazis must be loving how the progressives are out there painting swastikas on teslas that the progressives subsidized the building of. Progressives have always tended toward fascism (corporate wealth using government coercive power such as Obamacare). Now they are painting the symbol on cars

I oppose the death penalty because I don’t trust government to be honest or capable.

We need a judge to order that DOGE must restore inefficiencies to all government agencies
