Political Memes

This is the bastard child of capitalists and fascists. They both need each other and both think they are in charge of the other.

The real truth time and time again for 10k years is labor has the power.

I think that crap resonates with people because they think smaller government = lower taxes. If there’s one thing conservatives love to obsess about more than other people’s genitals it’s money. Even if they’re poor and pay a negative tax rate.

You haven't thought this out, have you? Unless you are happy that the US President is taking Putin's orders, eventually abandons NATO and lets Russia invade the Baltic nations? Is that what you mean by WAA WAA KARMA IS A BITCH?

...Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi, before being betrayed by the US of course.

I upvoted this comment, but schadenfreude isn’t a good look anywhere.

Democrat stronghold. No worries about Republicans picking up seats.

Vermont is awesome, we’re planning to move there once our family situation changes, but it may be a few more years of caretaking before we can. In the mean time we’re trying to keep the state we’re in at least purple as long as possible.

I think you're missing proletariat vs. bourgeoisie. The tarrifs are a direct attack from each capitalist nation on its working class. They do not net negatively hurt capital. On the contrary they allow a manufacturing of concent for further suffering the working class of each nation will endure while the capitalist class of each nation will further strengthen the nationalism of each country. And further concentrate wealth in fewer hands.

"America first", "Buy European", etc. These are all excuses to further worsen the material conditions of its people, build it's nationalism and xenophobia, and build concent for more war.

That's not quite right. Russia is not conservative in the American sense of the term, although they are far right in terms of authoritarian rule. They're an oligarchy. But their 10-year psy-op against American conservatives has been incredibly successful. They are up to their eyeballs in Russian conditioning and behavioral modification.

It's actually incredibly impressive. Turns out that Russia won the Cold War, and their greatest former adversaries (American conservatives) ended up being the United States' weakest link at the end of the game. Endlessly fascinating stuff.

But not upset with themselves, upset that society hadn't lowered the bar far enough for them to not feel shame for their actions.

Anyone with integrity, morals, or even a backbone was pushed out many years ago.

I dunno, as a non-empty subset of "people", I want more than rage. I want action. Spare me your tears, spare me your anguish, spare me your irascible outcry. Arrest the people breaking federal laws every single day, and if no action is taken by those who have abdicated their duty, ensure they abdicate their posts, through main force if necessary.
