Congrats. Your ability to live there is heavily subsidized by everyone who lives near other people in properly dense cities. Car-centric infrastructure was built to cater to your lifestyle inside those cities, to the detriment of those who live there. The traffic is (minutely, minusculely) your fault. Mostly the fault of those who advocate for you, but you still reap all the benefits.
Covid is endemic in the US. The more people vaccinated, the less the virus will be able to mutate this fall. The less it mutates, the less lethal it will continue to become. By stopping the vaccinations, covid will spread faster and could become more dangerous as a result.
One, the Texas quorum denial has never worked. Two, they held out until they had buy-in on a nationwide response. Three, they did actual hold out until the end of the special session. Abbott then just called a new one. So, unless your win conditions were "Texas Dems abandon their homes and lives until governor gives up and cries in shame", then they were moderately successful.
Did you know that doing shit like this is how 4chan brought nazis back? Interesting little fact. Also, Poe's Law.
Tone indicators exist. Use them. Thanks.
Put another way, why would you ever give refuge to those who hate? To help them convince others that there are more of them out there than there actually are?
Evangelicals follow their pastors. Their pastors get political power in exchange for supporting Republicans, especially those who are ass-kissers like Trump is. Heritage foundation signs the evangelicals proverbial checks, Trump gets his plays from the heritage foundation. The dots, there they are.
What the actual fuck? Do you think it's funny to do that? Whole English language and the best you could come up with as an insult was a disorder that real people have. So now you've both used a disease as a disparagement, moving the word closer to being a slur, and you've made this space unsafe for those around you who may suffer from that disability. Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you? Get the fuck out with that shit.
