As one of my uncles said, "You have to refrigerate leftovers before you throw them away."
My wife and I have gotten pretty good at knowing which leftovers we will actually eat, and which ones we won't. The latter get tossed right away, and we've never missed them later.
I tried that with someone on facebook. They retreated back to "we have to get federal spending under control." Maybe so, but this group isn't doing that.
I can't wait to talk to my parents. Lifelong republicans (though not specifically trump fans, just voting R), so it's extremely likely they voted for this.
I'm a federal employee. They voted to put my job (and my wife's job) in jeopardy. They voted for this. They voted to hurt us.
Shadow runs lemmy.ca, and states that it is lemmy.ca signups. He's certainly in a position to have the information available, unlike some random lemming like myself.
A few years ago I was on a group bike ride (in Maryland), and we saw a car that had a bumper sticker mocking one of the more famous members of Congress. For example, it might have been about Ted Cruz's vacation while Texas was dealing with extreme cold and widespread power outages. Or it might have been about Lindsey Graham blocking the supreme court nomination during the last year of Obama's term, but then doing it during the last year of Trump's term. I don't remember for certain. It was definitely something like that.
I chuckled, and one person riding with us was like, "What's so funny?" I explained who the person was and what they had done to prompt the reaction sticker, and her response was: "How could you possibly know who that person is?"
They don't even know the more famous members of Congress or the stupid acts they are committing. They just do not know. A few days ago, she posted a picture of her and her husband, and the husband was wearing a "Trump victory!" T-shirt. Shocking.

Some years back my parents were visiting from Florida and asked to borrow a car (I had two), and I said sure. Then, later, I said something about how busy work had been, and my father starts laughing at how funny that is - and calls my older brother - so they can share a laugh about me "working hard". Both lifelong Republicans, I will note.
I was like, hey, did you want to borrow the car that my hard work paid for, or not?
When I called them out on it, they said I was absolutely correct and apologized.
