She was not a far-left appointee, she just represented unions in her legal work beforehand. She was/is the first black member of the board, however.
MAGA don't know what the far left even is.
If Ronald Reagan came back, MAGA would call him "far left" too.
They think it begins at allowing women to continue living.
I'm astonished every time I see a woman wearing a maga cap. Do they hate themselves?
In a sense, yes. They hate other women more.
Some feel that they’ll be an exception.
The face-eating leopards are circling...
women can do what!?

Yeah, I think a lot of MAGA, and other Republicans, don't realize that the 'radical left' democrats, would be seen as right-wing by many other western nations' standards. And the whole thing about them being the 'leader of the free world' is sickening and hilarious at the same time.
Canada is 11th in the Cato Human Freedom Index, while the US, the 'freest nation in the world is 17th'. They have no business talking to us, or ANYONE ahead of them in that index, about being free. And most of the nations ahead of them in that freedom index, are from Europe, the 'socialist nations' as MAGA and others like to call them.

My dad thinks Kamala Harris is a communist hellbent on the destruction of America. Even as she was campaigning on "status quo/stay the course".
🤣
Meanwhile, my parents's WeChat is saying Democrats are causing the "Migrant Crisis"
And we are immigrants. 🙄
Dude I'm saying. She was honestly one of the most responsible choices for President I've ever seen, and I'm a goddamn anarchist. I hated voting for a cop on principle but I did it anyway because if your choices are a) an educated professional who's diplomatically respected and seems qualified to lead the executive branch, and b) whatever this fucking is, yes I'll take stability thank you.
I'm having to prep a detailed argument for my dad to disavow Trump because he's just so goddamn terrible in so many ways, how can I keep respecting a man who supports him? But I'll just get written off as victim to the woke mind virus like I'm being gaslit by every major news organization other than Fox. I'm serious, I've got like 50+ tabs open on my phone waiting to go into a document.
It's so distressing
I've stopped talking politics with my parents. My dad and I argued for hours about the pull out from Afghanistan and he just couldn't see that the Taliban takeover was going to happen no matter what once US troops were gone. He was, and is, convinced it was all Bidens fault. Somehow Trump was gonna bomb the Taliban out of existence when no president had in 20yrs. Or at least keep them from taking over.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm the one living in an alternate reality.
That's what they want you to think.
I know and that makes it so much worse.
