Oh for heaven’s sake they would say the same thing about you! Cult members do not think rationally. I know this from personal experience. If the message comes outside approved channels, it is disinformation at best and at worst, the work of Satan. Would you go to OANN for a different viewpoint? I’m beating this horse because I think it’s important to keep straight who the real enemy is: the elite class who is manipulating media and money to keep you and your MAGA neighbors under their heel. Your neighbor may lick the boot while you spit on it, but it’s crushing you both. The only way to turn the tables is to understand why your neighbor licks the boot and find common ground so you can work together to untie the laces and trip the enemy.

Have you watched their propaganda networks? They believe the same things about the left. They think they saved the republic from monsters. They think ICE is deporting murderers. They think antifa is a literal terrorist organization. They think 47 stopped 8 wars. They think these things because they’re in an information silo. No wait, they’re in a CULT. Some people do know that what they’re doing is evil. Most likely those at the top. But the rank-and-file MAGA are brainwashed cult members.

First I reduced quality, next I reduced variety, then I reduced quantity. Not sure what to do now. As Jurgis from The Jungle would say, I guess “I will work harder.”

Yeah I would be OWNED. Very triggered. It would also piss me off if they did Medicare for all and called it Trumpcare. Grrrr I would be so mad.

All,

I don’t typically use salutations or sign-offs, but I’m gonna start using this.

Anyway,

Cis man here. I occasionally read chick lit and I’m a big fan of the Gilmore Girls, but I tried reading Ms. Plath’s opus and I felt like I might be going crazy too. DNF. I’m glad some people like it, but that shit was weird.

My startup is 2 months away from ASI but we still need $12T seed funding and all of the water in Lake Erie. Pls help.

I’m poor in the USA with a T1D kid. I would really like to go full time in my own business so I can pull my family out of poverty, but it’s the insulin/insurance that holds me back. I don’t want to jump onto ACA insurance when it’s absolutely in the crosshairs of the GOP. Seeing stories like this gives me hope.

Don’t give the capitalists any more bad ideas.

Also can’t stand in line for the food bank at 10:00am on a Tuesday for expired milk, potato chips, and nutrient-dense vegetables like… cilantro.

Many foolish trees voted for the logging company because they promised to chop down the trees the foolish ones didn’t like. They believed the message from the logging company that the forest was unhealthy not because of unregulated logging, but because of the trees that looked a little different.

For both. I wear cheap business casual to work to present a particular image: appear like I have my shit together (I don’t) but I’m also budget conscious. I wear the same outfit every day (for me) because I hate making fashion decisions and crave simplicity. I have five of the same shirt and five of the same pant. Weekends I have a different uniform that says “fit, economical, comfortable, safe.” Two of the same pant and shirt.
