Honestly, at this point I’ll take the win when I can get it. This is a good move, but doesn’t change all the Nazi bs.

I find it interesting that these posts are dated 2019. I don’t remember this being an issue pre-covid.

Idk but it reminds of that one WKYK sketch.

Large protest 200-300 easy. I’m in a ruby red midsized town

Kind of like punching your neighbor in the face, shooting yourself in the foot, then begging your neighbor for help.

I’m sure this time will be different.

And now here I am.

I just read The Tea Party - A Brief History by Ronald Formisano. It’s a fascinating read. He talks about the start of the Tea Party movement and how it grew to a political powerhouse by 2012.

It was written contemporaneously with the movement and before MAGA. He walks through how it started as a real grassroots movements that was co-opted and astroturfed by Billionaires. Reading it with a modern perspective, it’s almost quaint. Formisano (and may others) talk about how the movement is so unique because it doesn’t have any de facto leader.

It was primed and ready for the taking in 2016.

The far right has been emboldened. You’re seeing people start to say the quiet part out loud, and they’re shocked when they find their peers don’t agree. I’ve seen it personally and know many others who can say the same. It’s scary stuff.

Just don’t release this on mobile. Please. For my sake.

I’m sure they’re very proud of her.

What a fucking disaster. He acts like someone who has this election on lock.

Yeah that would not fly. In America, workers are viewed as children and owners are parents. The owners feel like their children are trying to get out of work. It’s the owners job, as the responsible parental figure to steer the child-employee in the right direction. American workers are unable to be responsible on their own. (Mind you these are all adults).

You also see this in American academia with faculty routinely referring to grown adult students as “kids.”
