They could always downsize their lives to be less exploitative and still live a life of leisure if they are that afraid for their safety, or better yet use their wealth to influence policies beneficial to the large majority of humans but they wont do either of those.

They just want to keep living the exact same way without consequences.

Its so fucking crazy that it actually broke Robert Evans, who is primarily famous for learning, writing about, and presenting the most fucked up parts of history.

Really hope y’all are able to right that specific ship, we’re gonna need help but I also just wouldn’t wish this on anyone

When you say they, do you mean Americans paying attention, Trump voters and supporters, or the assholes making these decisions?

The first group are painfully aware of how fucked we are, the second MIGHT when they lose their home/job or have a loved one hauled away to a concentration camp but even then they might never because pro American propaganda has burrowed itself so deeply into their minds they truly believe the exceptionalism horseshit, the third either knows and is fine with it because they are just trying to consolidate power or is one of the ignorant true believers like the second group.

I fucking hate my country

He would keel over if he even sniffed moonshine, Granny would end him

When we get the real-life political equivalent of Stone Cold… Ironically the most popular wrestler per event in history who’s whole gimmick was fighting the authority of the wrestling promoter who didn’t believe he was an acceptable face of the company and constantly wanted to push their own handpicked corporate champions. It’s actually a lot more spot on than I meant it to be…

Hey now there will for sure be “elections”, they’ll just be 100% kayfabe instead of just 50-75% kayfabe

Here’s the deal, I think most have figured out that it’s going to take something massive to have any impact, either a full on general strike or coordinated direct action. Things are going to have to be dire, and yes I agree they are already, but the average American has been at worst inconvenienced. The tragedies that just occurred related to extreme weather may get the ball moving for some and the worse things get the likelier action becomes. I hate that I’m saying this but I hope things get that bad soon or I fear it may be too late. But protests are not going to do jack shit, the admin wants an excuse to declare martial law

Star Wars needs to do two things and two things only going forward, campy shit for kids starring kids and more shit like Andor. That would bring everyone back to the yard and print money for Disney

Add it to the pile

Maybe she’s clever enough to realize they will yank her and the other women right off the court as soon as she’s no longer necessary? Again I don’t believe she’s a good person or done an about face, but I’ll take the foxhole allies if we can get them, we kinda fucked

So she sucks in a great many ways, but I’ve actually been surprised that Coney Barrett hasn’t been the rubber stamp i expected her to be

It’s not wrong but I feel bad for Lee being associated with her

I sizable chunk of the populace seems to harbor similar delusions

If it’s any sort of foul play things may get even spicier on the world stage than they already are with a quickness

Glad I got my immunity tested and an mmr booster. If you were born before ‘89 it’s not a bad idea to get antibody levels checked out as procedures changed that year

I straight don’t buy that these results accurately reflect the opinion of non boomer voters. If this is accurate then the country and the species are done for, we cannot continue on the path we’re currently on without radical change to the status quo whether thats what people want or not. This is make or break for the future and it looks like we’re all currently content to let it break even if it means the end.

Dude same, one of the only times my dads ever cried

If only Dale hadn’t died

This actually is still helpful for us white dudes, if you meet another white guy that gets pissy about exclusive spaces you know that person isn’t worth talking to anymore!
