Inflation is out of control. Housing is unaffordable. The healthcare system is broken. Everyone is drowning in student debt. Ecosystems are collapsing. We're constantly on the brink of war.
This is a better description of Trump's presidency than Biden's, especially right now when inflation is not out of control, and Biden has done everything he can to forgive student loans.
That's how it always works. Republicans shit in the bed, but it's only uncovered after a Democrat gets elected. Then they fix everything, only for the next republican to start the process over.
Kind of like how W. Bush ran up all kinds of debt off the books in Iraq and Afghanistan and Obama gets slammed for bringing it front and center:

And that doesn't even take into account the massive Pentagon fraud perpetuated year after year:

People unfortunately still have the perception that inflation is out of control despite it being under 3%.
Liberal government here in Canada managed to fuck all of those things up too, not unique to Trump sadly
The real problem is pronouns. We have to get rid of them. Nothing but proper nouns.
“George likes proper nouns in George’s sentences.”
Me, Grimlock, no see problem.
Me, Slag, say you full of beryllium baloney!
George is getting upset!
If they want a dick pick. All they have to do is ask.
I won’t judge.
Just to clarify the point: Republicans only shriek about issues like transgenderism to put the focus on these non-issues, away from real issues like healthcare, poverty and inequality, war, climate change, etc..
Which is why these issues and the left identitarian fringe that pushes them to center stage are so problematic. It takes two to tango.
Why aren't the Democrats addressing those issues. Do they just shriek about other things? I feel like they shriek about the same things, actually, and that's how culture war bullshit serves both "sides", or should we say the two available flavours of neoliberalism.
- They are, but you aren’t looking.
- They’re pretty centrist so it won’t always be as aggressive as it should be.
- The GOP has literally, out loud, said in the past that their goal is to literally obstruct and vote down basically every single piece of Democrat legislation and there was a long time where two pretty rightwing fuckers were spending more time voting with Republicans than anything else and that really got in the way.
So, I dunno, pay more attention?
Of course those genitals are important! If they don’t do that, then their god will not magically fix said problems. They themselves are of course powerless to do anything about it. Far too busy lining their and their donors pockets!
If conservatives want to be a part of the solution, they can be. But they aren't.
Newt Gingrich was the last Republican to create policy and even he is problematic.
Gingrich was a dick
Who served his wife divorce papers while she was in a hospital bed recovering from surgery!
And that's not the worst of it!

Newt may have been the last but that's his own fault. He oversaw the GOP as it shifted from everyday "shitty conservatives" to insurrectionist nationalists.
I just want to make sure I get that off my chest. Newt heavily contributed to starting this. He's the original McConnell. He wrote the playbook.
He also wrote the first republican purity test with the "Contract with America", which started the repubs on their fanatical obsession with only having "true" repubs in office. He's responsible for so much of what's wrong nowadays, but so many people seem to have forgotten that.
Newt Gingrich is a hypocritical piece of shit. Worried about the budget but wanted a capital gains tax cut. Worried about ethics but was fine violating basic ethics. Even when presented with evidence that violent crime was down in 2016, he didn't want to go with the "theoriticians" (aka the facts) but instead went with his gut (aka bullshit). And he is an election denier. Fuck him.
The older I get the more apt this aphorism becomes:
Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.
They've missed the entire point. It's about manufacturing outrage to distract from things people should really care about.
I'm gonna keep sending them pictures of my balls anyway.
The conservative question: “can I fuck it?”
“If we can’t fuck it, we kill it”
more cum for the cum god
“It’s fuckable, sure, but you’re safe. No one wants to fuck you.”
Meh. The illusion is starts to fade at the mention of student debt and totally broken with the word "ecosystems". Need to dial up the conservative and make it about how jobs don't pay enough or how much you have to run the AC now days. Also, not sure about the war part being bad in a conservative view, rather it's that we don't really win wars anymore.

Low Quality Facts, @lowqualityfacts…
For the sake of empathy, I ask you all to take a second to consider things from the perspective of Conservatives:
Inflation is out of control. Housing is unaffordable. The healthcare system is broken. Everyone is drowning in student debt. Ecosystems are collapsing. We're constantly on the brink of war.
So naturally, one would ask, how can we even hope to solve these daunting and complex issues if we do not have detailed information on the genitals of every American citizen?
But, have you considered: Got mine, fuck you?
When you have nothing to conservative why be conservative?
Consider the identitarian left. The world is on fire. Nuclear holocaust looms over us. Mass extinction. Runaway AI is imminent. We really need to focus on upending the apple cart of sexual identity and relations right now.
Yes. There's never a reason to stop pushing for more freedom. Happy, educated people make a better society. Keeping people who are different form you silent and miserable so you don't have to have your feelings hurt by being reminded not everyone is like you doesn't make the world a better place, it just gives more power to the people who are pushing all of those bad things you mentioned onto us.
No. Fixating on radical issues and demanding complete obedience alienates moderates. Anyone who believes in national borders or some importance of biological sex is unwelcome in many Left circles. The only reason The Right has any traction right now is people who are fed up with radical wokeism. I’m a moderate liberal, and I’m just tired of fighting over trendy fringe issues when we need to focus on existential problems.
