  1.  @mattgeiger8247  If you want to know more about what Democrats can and should be doing for workers read the book Bernie Sanders Guide to Political Revolution. The ruling class have always feared Sanders for a reason.

  2. I hear Scotland is nice. Especially the western coast where its relatively warm. I think I'll move there someday if it keeps getting worse here in America! Some of my ancestors came from there.

  3. The people who need to hear this the most will never escape their echo chambers long enough to listen.

  4. Despite what his family says about him. Yes. Psychopaths tend to show a different side of themselves to their families and close friends. They're also superficially charming so it's hard to detect them for what they actually are. Deep down he was a shallow man with no empathy who only cared about money.

  5. Just tell conservatives vaccines are for sissies and they'll unwittingly die from a preventable disease thinking they're tough enough to fight it off. There's some poetic justice in dying from your own hubris.

  6. Really? Where are the tent cities in the blue state of Vermont? I've been to red state Louisiana (one of the lowest income states where most people make trash wages) and seen them there. Have yet to see any huge tent cities in Vermont.

  7. I'm glad we can sue churches nowadays. They couldn't hundreds of years ago.

  8. The FBI is its own worst enemy. They supported the far right and now the far right hates them and right wing media keeps slamming them as corrupt for going after Trump. The irony.

  9. High ignorance. They know nothing.

  10. Add egocentric to the list. Man created god in his image. That's why God is never depicted in art as a squid. Always as a humanoid.

  11. And killing jobs in the process. He laid off an astronomical number of Twitter employees. They want us to believe that rich people are such great job creators even though wealthy employers lay the most people off. How many people did Google lay off recently? Quite a few. In spite of the massive layoffs giant corporations have annually, we're supposed to believe they're the ones creating the most jobs. It's absurd! Anybody who believes the job creator myth has their head in the sand. Do they not pay attention?

  12. We could just crack out the guillotines. It's gonna be hard for the rich to become more powerful if there are no more rich.

  13. When Republicans say freedom they mean freedom for the wealthy to oppress the poor more than they already do. Freedom to impose their religious beliefs on you.

  14. If it was as illegal to be a narcissist as it was to be a Jew in 1940 Germany then poverty would mostly vanish.

  15. Christian fundies care about faith. Not evidence. Anything they believe is true if they believe. That's one of my biggest problems with religion and why I left my church. That and the hypocrisy. So no. They won't believe what their eyes tell them or look at the evidence as long as Trump continues to pander to them and give them what they want. No amount of proof matters to them.

  16. They groomed us for the rise in wealth inequality when they kept repeating the mantra: "The rich get richer, the poor get poorer." Until we began to passively accept it as an inevitability. They've been manipulating us for decades.

  17. ​ @aerithgrowsflowers If the Republicans hate the rich pharmaceutical companies so much then why don't they believe in regulating and taxing them more? Republicans don't want to regulate or tax anybody except maybe the poor.

  18. How much of that voter suppression money came from the massive Texas Oil Industry, I wonder?

  19. Netanyahu is a far right piece of shit and Biden needs to call him what he is.

  20.  @NN-ul4oy  A conservative would shriek "Ree! Ree! You can't criticize capitalism! It is above criticism! Criticizing it makes you a socialist communist by default! Ree! Reeeeeeee!" That mindset needs to be mocked MORE or it will never go away.

  21. They can't get passed with Republicans controlling half the Senate and Joe Manchin acting like a Republican. With Joe Machin in there it's like Republicans make up the majority since Joe Manchin is basically a conservative. Joe Manchin and Republican obstructionism the federal minimum wage will never increase. Vote blue in the midterms!

  22. Solar actually costs less now. People are buying solar panels for their house like crazy. Half my neighbors now have solar.

  23. True. The right doesn't like to hear this but Islamic countries are a good example of what a country ruled by right wingers looks like. Spot on!

  24. Psychopaths don't have a conscience and Governor Abbot is one of them! One of those subhumans born without one. I really hate psychopaths. Don't know what we keep them around for.

  25. The answer to this question is yes.

  26. The double standard is annoying. Freeloading is OK if you're rich but if you're poor it's bad.
    2
  27. Yeah. Bill Clinton was 1992.

  28. I hate humanity enough that I sympathize with SOME mass shooter. A large portion of humanity still loves Trump. Is the species even worth saving???

  29. Unfortunately the wealthy have spread many, many myths. And few people bother to ask, "Who wants me to believe this and why?" They instead buy into the myths hook, line, and sinker!

  30. Most people are easily manipulated and indoctrinated. Especially when they're living in abject poverty the way most Germans were when Hitler took power.

  31. Oh, it was no coincidence that gas prices went up within months of Biden being inaugurated. That's just too uncanny to be coincidence. And Republicans believed that Biden could screw things up that fast! Their stupidity would be funny if it wasn' t sad.

  32. ​ @kenwhitfield219 I make jokes and snarky remarks about their fears. I even sarcastically gasp when they tell me something "scary". This attitude of not taking them seriously seems to upset them. Lol!

  33. Fox News. A bunch of overpaid wealthy windbags telling their mostly poor and middle class viewers what to think.

  34. ​ @jb-vb8un why is that important? That's not gonna get rid of the Reagan tax cuts for rich people and help me buy a house. 😂

  35. Like Mulder on The X-Files, they want to believe but are too intellectually lazy and emotionally immature to apply skepticism and critical thinking to their own beliefs and admit they might be wrong.

  36. Isn't Alex Jones proof that you can be rich but still contribute absolutely nothing of worth to society? I think he is. Someone should point this out to people who think the wealthy are worth something more than their net worth.

  37. I consider gullibility to be a genetic disorder. The sheep exist to be eaten/used by the wolves. The sheep are plentiful and they vote unfortunately.

  38. And for that, I don't blame him. Their Gomer Pyle level naivety makes me ill as well.

  39. How's trickle down economics working? Has the wealth Republicans promised you trickled down yet or did the billionaires you trust too much pocket it all! 😂
    2
  40. This is just deregulation on steroids. Bring back regulations. Bring back high taxes on the wealthy. Tax estates and large properties more.
    2
  41. Republicans need to create situations where more people are on food stamps so that they can then blame the poor for being "lazy". Scapegoating food stamp recipients is their favorite thing.

  42. ​ @ronschafer4533 The most immoral people are the ones who can't change their minds. Dogma is immoral. Ironically dogs aren't the ones suffering from it.

  43. The Congress has been full of Republican obstructionists for decades. They strike down anything that's good for middle class and working class Americans but the working and middle class continue to elect them. WTF is wrong with half the country?
    2
  44. Most Republicans fall under one of 2 categories. Gullible or evil. 1) Gullible because who would fall for trickle down economics even if their hero Reagan said it was real? Also, they don't think it's odd that they've been trained to think people poorer than them are lazy? That's probably the oldest divide and conquer tool in the book. 2) Evil because some of them seem to lack empathy for the less fortunate. A lot of them seem to think people on disability should die off or people on food stamps are more disgraceful than a swindling banker. They have little room for nuance in their black and white worldview.

  45. Like religious zealots, they will fight hard over imaginary things that don't exist. Petty children like them deserve no respect at all.
    2
  46. I hate to be cynical, but the American middle class are among the most gullible people on Earth. When they disappear as a social class it'll be because they trusted corporations too much while throwing labor unions under the bus. Architects of their own demise.

  47. I'm not rich or anything but I still donate to Americans United for Separation of Church and State because I'm horrified of how much power religion has in American politics. It's scary.

  48. Look what the neoliberals have done to California. Elitist scum!
    2
  49. Big oil is the most evil industry in history and Republicans love them!

  50. Isn't it ironic that the right hates Disney for being 'woke' while at the same time believing it should get more tax cuts because it's a corporation??? The irony is both amusing and sad.
