I don’t use Facebook much but one of the most effective comments I’ve seen and have been posting on any Nebraska media is Republicans have ruled this state for 30+ years and nothing has gotten better. Let’s try something different.
Also posting ecomnocal data from when Ben Nelson was governor especially for farmers has seemed to change some people’s minds
In the short story groundhogs day is like 10000 years
I always go back to McCains rally with Palin. And the old lady who said Obama was a terrorist and he basically had to say no hes not. He’s a good person with just different ideas on how to govern.
I thought two things at that moment. The crowd firmly belied the terrorist line but at the same time it exposed how crazy the crowd was when they booed.
And I thought most of America saw that crazy along with Palins and said they have no place of ever being in charge. Obama won in a landslide. And I truly believed the Republican party was finished.
And had sanders got the nomination I think the Republican party was officially dead. But the Dems fucked up and put in Hillary. Something that immediately lost the progressive vote. Then Trump did the whole grab them by the pussy bit and thought even with that Hillary should win. Nope .
Now they have someone that actively recruits the racists, Nazis and have them well established.
Dems seriously fumbled with Hillary
I’ve been around guns most of my life I just choose not to have them around anymore every time I’ve had one I’ve just had in my head what I considered close accidents mental lapses and I just decided it’s not for me. put guns in people’s hands that have that same capacity but the lack of self-awareness just results in tragedy
I heard someone say it’s like the 70s all over again with power and greed coming back just without the cocaine.
Which to me is more dangerous. I get how cocaine could drive that. But just power and greed for the sake of it is just evil
I don’t think we were ever designed to lead. We basically learned to survive on our own and grew to like being alone with no rules or schedule
I think the extremely young millennials and the old gen z helped create this right wing bullshit but it’s partly because we failed in teaching them we were just to busy trying to survive
It’s literally a 5 year gap towards the end of gen x. I didn’t see my first webpage until the day I graduated highschool and I immediately knew whatever school tried to prepare me for was outdated and then I helped my dad on the farm for 20 years and never really had a need for it despite being heavily interested in gaming and PCs
I don’t know about you but I always have felt isolated in everything, I know that’s a gen x thing to say, but when you look at movies music for people our age, 48 leading the way There’s not a lot of 47-52 year olds out there representing us.
Like when we can get together and unite i think we’re successful but there are so few of us 77-82 it just doesn’t happen anymore and we have been divided now.
Like we grew up with the reality of the aids epidemic but our schools were still successful and I think we were the last ones to have good public schools before Regan and his policies destroyed what was still working.
Like believe it or not despite her being being a complete racist piece of shit. A lot of my morals came from the Roseanne show. My parents were never home. My dad tried to push church on me but I always saw the church crowd as hypocrits and have never went back
I miss the days when R/atheism was front page. When that got removed the site went to shit
Pre 2014 Trump, I believe reddit was so successful in disproving Republican bullshit that they decided to just take it over because they couldn’t fight the truth. It was a slow yet successful highjacking. I literally believe they had a thinktank dream it up and hired people to do it.
It’s around then when you saw the influx of more right wing users but they were still getting banned by the mods because reddit was a notorious left leaning community. But I think gradually they were able to become mods of themselves.
I think I’m the only person to be banned from world news for being pro Israel and eventually saying fuck israel.
The difference between reddit then and reddit now is night and day. It has become a safe haven of the right wing.
Fuck I miss playing DnD. Only Dm’d two small campaigns and I was far from knowledgeable about it but it was fun none the less. Had a friend who actively wanted a deck of many things so I said fuck it I’ll put one in the campaign. Well he found it. Immediately drew from it. Drew the one that summons death with -4 Ac something like that. Whole party attacks it and they all get their own death to deal with. Party got wiped. But he kept trying to draw from it during the fight and crazier shit just kept happening I think at one point he had another party member draw and that player got banished from the plane
Same. I truly thought Republicans were on deaths door. I wish there were more xennials we could have made a difference
While being a stupid kid herself. She is not the same person anymore and I believe she deserves to be set free
Wtf!? I have type 2 diabetes and I still can’t resist some peanut butter crunch on occasion
You just need the right beer. Sam adams and Octoberfest. Cali squeeze blood orange tastes like orange hi-c. Devils gap Jalepeno ale. There are some good tasting beers
Stealing keystone light from your parents in 7th grade makes all other beer taste amazing except for Miller light
Just for the tank. Nothing else. Just wondering how it would perform and if it could change the outcome for any country
Usually but I have a 12 year old daughter. If I didn’t i would say let the world burn
