love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

This data questions the idea that people become more conservative with age. Ok, folks born between 1940 and 1954 did actually turn more conservative with time. The 1955 to 1979 cohort didn’t change their outlook much. The post-1980 group is actually becoming more liberal as they age.

You know how Trump wanted to send our military into our cities, even though that is not their job? Can we send ICE/CBP to Iran even though that is not their job?

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you've seen:
*Milli Vanilli (1989 LOL)
*Three Dog Night (1989)
*Prophets of Rage (2016)
*Rainbow Girls (2026)

We’re watching Trump radicalizing an entire generation in real time

I would like to live in a country where statements like "people are vermin" & "we should attack our NATO allies" & "we shouldn't have elections" immediately ended presidencies.

No, we don't have the resources right now for a general strike. We don't have the rent and food funds or the bail funds or the child and healthcare funds.

But the response to that isn't "welp, we're fucked, so much for a general strike."

It's to start organizing those things in your community.
