I grew up in a world like she is describing, and things are nothing like that today.

I lived in a very Asian and liberal part of the LA metro area in 2020, and Trumpers had truck parades through here open carrying their guns, blowing their horns, complete with “fuck your feelings” flags.

It was obvious in Trump country that enthusiasm had waned. Nobody here seemed to care. Or maybe they couldn’t afford all the flags and hats and other Trump merch this time.

It was also obvious that the Democrats were going to lose votes. 15 million is a downright Clintonian achievement, though.

It’s so strange that Dick Cheney’s endorsement didn’t drive Democrats to the polls.

The adults in this country really have no idea why the younger people are suffering so much depression and anxiety. They think it’s from a little bit of missed socialization and not the insane bullshit the adults have been trying to sell them their whole lives. Hint: they know you’re lying to them. Since 2020, the lies have gotten crazier and crazier. Genocide is something the kids are not going to digest.

He could say “fuck America” all he wanted if he were silent about the genocide.

One day we’re going to find out that “Israel” killed 95% of those killed on 10/7. I guess they’re trying to run out the clock until there’s no one left to be outraged.

Hezbollah are being accused of escalating the conflict even though they were not the aggressors.

The judge still insanely ruled that the officers had reason to suspect him of committing a crime.

Did history begin in October of 2023? Opinions differ.

If “order” contains mass graves full of Palestinian toddlers, I’m going to suggest that decent people want no part of it.

Outside of presiding over massive inflation, the loss of women’s right to choose, genocide of the Palestinians, the arming of Nazis in a proxy war, increasing terror at the US border, increasing warrantless surveillance on Americans who aren’t in Congress, increasing police budgets everywhere, killing free speech, and making criticism of Israel a hate crime, what mistakes can you point to that Biden has made? We’re actually lucky if you think of all the bad stuff throughout history that he hasn’t presided over.
