Yeah really not much more to do but that

Colleges are increasingly selling an “experience” through sports and activities precisely because our state and Federal governments decided to just slice their funding. And the absolute hatred the GOP increasingly has for them probably makes things way worse

The incentives to lie, cheat, and take short cuts are becoming too great and it’s gonna fuck us pretty bad I think

Worry college is basically just gonna be a place where rich kids get a business degree and fuck around at frats for 4 years over actually learning something

Funny how Teddy's darkside is also completely overlooked by these guys

Obama and Biden are saints compared to some of the shit Presidents got up to during the Cold War

Also I don't know how Obama, Biden, and Harris got coded as war mongers when the GOP started the war on terror. Trump 1.0 was very belligerent, and Trump 2.0 is marching towards a major Iran operation

How did being “forged in fire” work out for them in the end?

Wonder if we’re gonna have accounts of these kids in like 20 years writing and speaking about how much they fucking hate their parents for almost getting them killed/permanently disabling them because of conspiracy

I know I would!

I think often about how the only reason why my grandma is alive is that her mother and grandmother held her 24/7 when she caught whooping cough

It makes me incredibly angry when we finally have the means to prevent this suffering after centuries of death. Now a bunch of imbeciles are ruining it

That is how you get Butlerian Socialism as the dominant ideology in the United States by 2040

I do find it funny whenever a tech oligarch is like "yeah we're just going to destroy the white collar middle class in this country" and doesn't stop for two seconds to think about The Implications of such a revolution

Chat which of those two cities is still standing today?

We are not doomed to live in their shitty world for the rest of our lifetimes

Kinda do think the Kansas GOP is walking themselves into a bad November with the stupid shit they are pulling.

Johnson County has been marching left and they have like 10 House Seats that are quite flippable. Radicalized suburbanites will wipe out the GOP

Like the KC Star editorial that was basically “everyone will fucking hate you and your children that doesn’t actually have to end up happening” and that combined with activist pressure worked lol

I never had it easy. I had to go to my prestigious state school instead of the Ivy League I wanted to.

Yeah I know LIB MANDATE ending is unlikely but I can hope while expecting the worst

Yeah lol. GOP fucked everything up twice in my lifetime and got rewarded with the 2010 landslide and a narrow victory in 2024

But who knows maybe their third run of blowing everything up might change the hearts and minds of a subsection of the American people (lol lmao lol)

Bad for me as a graduate looking for a job, but at least November 3 will be cathartic as fuck

Hope the GOP does not take office at the national level again until I’m in my 40s

“The essence of that morale is in the masses of plain people who are completely clear in their minds about the one essential fact- that they would rather die as free men than live as slaves.”

FDR remains prescient

Entering 2029 with Constitution Amending majorities in the House, Senate, and State Legislatures is the only just way for this to end.

I keep thinking about how satisfying it'd be to see the entire conservative legal establishment made irrelevant through constitutional reform

>Trump issues decree "canceling midterms" on November 1
>Entire GOP panics, some say "please vote Daddy is not serious"
>11.3% of GOP base ends up not voting because of decree
>Dems win 286 House seats and 60 Senate seats (double Iowa).
>lol lmao lol

People REALLY fucking hate the stop the steal shit and if he does try to go full Yoon there’s gonna be a million people marching in DC (imagine if January 2027 is like 73 degrees there)

Very like the whole country is gonna watch the GOP get its teeth kicked in on November 3rd and Trump is going to have to be like “nun-uh” when the Dems have a 20 seat house majority

Their own intense racism and nativism is going to be the death of them

Genuinely quite fascinating to me that Trump 2024 managed to make big inroads to Hispanic communities across the country and growth in those played an enormous role in GOP expansion this decade

And the nativist/white nationalist side of the GOP refuses to really consider the implications of it

Truly think South Carolina is one of the most damned places in the United States

Lots of villains coming out of there

ACTUALLY the rules of the game say only REPUBLICANS are allowed to aggressively punch - not liberuhls

Literally more than the entire NSF budget lol

Also, maybe Full BBB is enough to get 200k upper midwesterners to change their mind in 2024. But no way to know now.

At the very least a successful prosecution of Trump prevents this from happening. I’d say 8 years of Haley would be far less damaging than even a year of this
