I hope these fuckers are happy now. They got what they wanted. Or just ignored the problem and now that it's not going away they've finally realized that maybe they should have voted differently. Or at all.

I hope y'all bastards suffer.

I'm not at all ready for it, but I've been acutely aware it was coming since the night of Nov. 6th.

USians are so racist you have to explain bad things using the words "Russian" and "Iranian" next to them. Like, you have Fox news already for half a century don't you? What do you mean "Russian style disinformation"? You guys invented it before the Russian Federation existed lmao

These people have presidents swear on the bible and talk about theocracies smh

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

The US has only had 1 president who wasn't Christian and that was Thomas Jefferson who thought the Bible had been adopted by to many political ideologies that tainted the better moral frameworks.

Every president after has been directly and only Christian. No Jewish, no Buddhists, no separation of church and state ever allowed.

That's nationalism and jingoism, not racism.

Jeez.

Well, probably all of the above with the Iranian thing.

Are you sure? I checked around and couldn't find much about this. Cable and broadcast news don't seem to be reporting it, and none of the major newspapers. It's not supported by X or Facebook either. I don't see a lot of books about it on my Kindle. I mean, that's quite a conspiracy theory you've got going there. For it to work, a small group of people would have to somehow hold over half the wealth of America and use it to elect politicians with so few scruples that they'll appoint anyone to powerful offices. Even that is assuming they could somehow pack courts with compliant judges who are willing to declare that corporations are people and money is speech. Next, you'll be telling me that a median salary is unlikely without a degree that costs almost as much as a new car, but that it doesn't matter anyway because a median salary can't support a family in the same standard of living they were born into. I can't imagine people would tolerate this kind of thing. We'd have to be living in some kind of dystopian, authoritarian plutocracy like a bad 1970s sci-fi.

I can't wait for Trump to rename the months after his family members.

I vote for "Ivanktober" because that's the creepiest of their familial relationships I can think of off hand. It'll really augment the spooky vibe of the season.

I thought characters in webcomics were more politically aware, but I guess they are just 2 dimensional.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I feel like it kinda fell flat.

Voting for what makes you mad, living for what makes you sad.

Are these song lyrics? If not, they should be.

If the GOP is riding in under the banner of the Christian god, then Hail Satan indeed!

You guys always manage to make the worst out of a morally questionable concept. Did it already with slavery.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I like that format, too.

Question: Slavery?

Answer: No.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Ah, no, i thought more about that there were different types of slavery (african, british, etc.) that somewhat worked with society but US took of every type the worst parts and made it an inter-generational instead of a limited-time thing.
