This is the way. But no one will do it.

It’s like that SNL skit on fast fashion/Temu. They list out all the reasons not to buy Temu and everyone quietly with heads down says they’ll still keep buying.

It really doesn’t take longer to get your crap either, not being subbed

I have relatives. They don’t believe Jan 6 was an insurrection. They’re saying Kamala is only there because she sucked her way to the top. They’re constantly talking about trans. And that litter boxes in schools thing. They think any defense if Hamas or anyone associated with them is deranged, that Israel wants to be left alone and no one will leave them alone and that’s why they’re doing what they’re doing. That we should spend the Ukraine money domestically, stop finding them. That gas prices and food prices and house prices and health care prices are Biden’s fault. And that liberals talk down to them and should thus get punched. Replacement theory. Oh, and guns.

That prices will somehow go down to pre-2020 if trump is back. No, really. Return of trump means return to pricing in the 2016-2020 zone. I’m not joking, these guys really believe that. I can define inflation all day and it doesn’t matter, no sway on that one. So that, in part, is what they’re voting for, a return of pre 2020 pricing.

Oh hell no. Not until the first two patches are rolled out.

It is, in part, because the WW2 generation is dead. They’re no longer here to offend. They’re not here to yell at anyone and shut them down for the level of disrespect they express, all around, with their bigotry. They are memory, and that war was their memory, so a lot of the social constructs around the causes of and the winning of that war have faded.

I said part. What you say is also true. It’s a multi faceted issue.

Other arguments would be climate change and political unrest/uncertainty.

Stay busy. Get your to-do list done. Take overtime shifts. Spend the angsty energy so it doesn’t turn inward and render your gut into sieve.

Either way.

As is, Biden was and still is her boss. At least there’s a shot of organizing some kind of two state solution with her.

Trump with apartheid’s child whispering in his ear? Where’s that going to go?

I’m not a car person but I’m betting there are other popular car podcasts. And in Michigan.

Honestly, if you guys could manage to kick Ted Cruz out, that alone would be a major win.

Local matters right now, big time. Getting in those reps in the legislature and possibly the senate.

Florida was damn close in 2016. So don’t count yourself out for both, there. I think part of the problem there might be snowbirds, but will they even be going this year?

None of us know. So just vote.
