It's malevolence, not stupidity. Though they are stupid too.

They aren't stupid so much as malevolent, tho they are stupid too.

This is EVERYTHING.
When talking to MAGA, if they tell you what a crisis immigration is, ALWAYS ask them, "How has it affected you personally?"

Exchange between four posters:

Jeff Fecke: "Buddy, you don't have a goddamn clue how tacky things can get out in the hinterland. Trump's aesthetic ain't it."

Spooky Chum: "The Midwest exists and I am haunted by bad 70s wood paneling"

Transtifa: "It would be kind of based if a conservative US president decided to remodel the white house to resemble their constituents’ taste and went with wood paneling and giant puffy sectional couches everywhere."

Chris Wilhelm: "*JD Vance likes this*"

The comments he got on his post are brutal. Some are hilarious. This exchange is one of my favorites, perhaps because I remember tearing out bad 70s wood paneling in a house I bought in the 90s:

The best neighborhood of all those I ever lived in was rich in diversity! Those who refuse to engage with people different from them are missing out on so much! Different cultures only enrich us as individuals & as a society and is what America was built on, or at least what America was meant to be.

I’m an old retired lady, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but the question isn’t why young people spend on small treats for themselves once in awhile but why billionaires need a fleet of yachts and even more money. I’m with Billie Eilish who said, β€œGive your money away, shorties.”

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ.

We now have to cover the costs of a campaign *and* a legal battle to preserve our First Amendment rights.

We have a local protest every Saturday in Nanuet, which is in NY’s Lower Hudson Valley. For the 2nd No Kings, I saw we had more than 3,000, slightly more than the 1st No Kings. It’s only ever a big crowd like that when there’s also a national event going on.

The Jolly Roger flag

The Jolly Roger flag

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call β€œNazi skull or not a Nazi skull”

First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided.

With me so far? 1/x

Pastor who called Heartstopper a 'health risk' to kids charged with child sexual abuse An Ohio pastor who called beloved comic Heartstopper a β€œhealth risk” to kids has been charged with child sexual abuse.

In 2023, Shelton spoke to the Little Miami School District education board about Alice Oseman’s graphic novel Heartstopper, calling it a health risk. β€œI got sick from reading that stuff. I don’t think kids should ever question their sexuality, I don’t think kids should ever explore their sexuality.”
