Artist, musical performer, and former derby skater from the Midwest.

I'm single, childless, and married to freedom and adventure.

ACAB, Anti-War, and I hate Democrats, Republicans, and billionaires. (Yes, even your favorite billionaire: the pop star, the philanthropost, the legendary athlete, or the soft-spoken investment guru who cosplays as middle class.) With each passing day I get a little closer to hating everyone.

Also, I refuse to use Donald's last name out of hatred for the man and his brand, FYI.

  • Don't get me wrong.

    I'm not calling Trump a policy wonk by any means, but apart from the Arnold Palmer incident and the 45-minute playlist thing he did with Kristi Noem (which apparently the voters found endearing, oddly enough), he and the Republicans had a more appealing message for the average voter. (Not that it takes much of a brain to say "Your life under Biden has been rotten. We'll do better.")

  • They certainly did, but that's not why they won.

    They broadened their coalition because they focused on the economic message. like Clinton in the 90's. Democrats spent an entire campaign telling their voter base to be joyful about being poorer.

    Purely from a standard of living and economic standpoint, he’s going to make lives worse for so many people that aren’t his billionaire cronies.

    Probably, but the problem is, people just lived through four years of their lives being made substantially worse by Dems and their billionaire cronies, and when pressed, Kamala refused to own it and said publicly that there's nothing she'd do differently. That gets you votes flipping to Republican and millions of former voters who opted not to miss a badly-needed day's pay.

  • This isn’t just symbolic though, it is the normalization of “confederates and nazis good, gay people bad”. It is the indoctrination of children of false information and rewritten history. It is erasure. It is a form of oppression.

    I get all that.

    Not enough people care, and it's because there are bigger problems affecting the majority's lives. That's what liberals need to focus on if they want to have a chance at reversing this. If you want a democracy, you have to worry about the issues affecting the majority at some point and right now they're too busy figuring out how to actually live to care about trans people being mentioned on a sign.

  • Y'all, it's not 2014 anymore.

    You want to change the symbolic stuff, your focus as to be on workers, jobs, and the economy first. The voters at large do not give a fuck about political correctness, SJW ideology, or fascism. They do give a fuck about being able to eat and provide for their families, though, and that's how you'll win them back.

  • This 'you're with us or you're with the terrorists' mentality is very Dubya. Kudos.

  • TBH, you're only really hurting the owner, and you don't know their situation necessarily unless you're in close contact with them all the time.

    Plus Teslas have security cameras.

    It's generally a bad idea.

  • Man who lost $780 million in Bitcoin in a landfill now wants to buy the entire dump before city closes the site

  • I have a friend in NYC who searches his entire apartment every year or two because he had a few BTC on an old thumb drive. It is a bummer that he lost it.

    I got some dogecoin at a one cent and sold it in the twenties, which was a nice little gain, but nothing huge like being an early BTC holder.

    Definitely not Dragon Age or Game of Thrones.

  • Votes for billionaires, shocked when billionaires act like billionaires

    Jump

  • Actually, history would suggest you're wrong.

    Clinton, Dubya, Obama, and Trump all had control of Congress going into office and lost it at the mid-terms. It's such a strong historical pattern I expect it to repeat in 2026.

    The problem here is that both parties rule as conservatives, so you can change who (at least based on outward appearances) has power, but the wealthy class is still pulling all of the strings anyway.

  • I love that your response is: "You're not wrong, but you're wrong." I sound like someone who isn't looking through blue or red-eyed glasses, and to partisans, that makes me sound like the opposition, because somehow you're constitutionally incapable of being objective.

    Thanks for your input.

  • The impoverishment is very much a both-sides issue. That's how Trump got elected. You and the other Democratic voters are only acting like you care because, at the moment, it's politically convenient. You have no real values.

  • It's been interesting watching the schadenfreude.

    My parents have been borrowing my car for almost a year now so they can drive for DoorDash, because if they don't, this country will sit by and let bloodsucking capitalists take their home and their lives. This didn't happen to them under Trump. It happened under Biden, and Democrats shouldn't be pointing and laughing. They should be having calm, measured conversations with these people and trying to garner their support instead.

    But for all their degrees and education, they lack empathy and don't understand people at all.
