That’s a funny way to say “Trump campaign manipulates emotions of grieving parents”

I remember reading at the start of Covid in the US, when the government was saying “masks are dumb”, but local churches were going “masks save lives”, the churches were surprised at how much pushback they were getting.

Turns out raising someone from a young age to believe without questioning, and look up to one person as their only source of truth, and ignore compelling scientific evidence, is pretty hard conditioning to break.

How’s that any different from today?

(Just kidding, gallows humor)

Seconded - Fuuuuuuck that jelly-bean-eating bastard.

I do like jelly beans though.

My thoughts as well… “here’s what to know: the Supreme Court is corrupt as hell”

Strong stuff, and I’m here for it! I hope he suffers the indignity of itching, without the relief of scratching!

Unironically, I totally agree. Commentator is dumb and redundant, commenter is the superior alternative.

Just because you do it for a living, doesn’t mean that it’s a different title; a carpenter doesn’t become a carpentator because it’s a paying job. A pilot doesn’t become a pilotator when they get paid for it.

I feel like the current establishment wouldn’t allow an FDR-style candidate to succeed, they’re making too much money from protecting the status quo.

But I’ll still grudgingly support them if Trump is the other option. I’ll vote progressive in my local elections, but as long as we still have a first-to-the-post election process, it’s always the lesser of two evils.

Isn’t it the case that whoever wins this one, they’ll be the oldest president in US history? Gross.

I think it’s like “vee-shee-swah”?
