My dad talks about the air conditioner. He says how people don’t go out on the porch now which leads to talking to neighbors because the temperature inside is nicer. That not talking to neighbors means doing it all on ones own which requires that instant gratification.
I want to argue but this last summer was definitely a staying inside one.
The only difference between round 1 and this time is round 1 there were some in his party that thought they could control him and it was blatantly obvious they weren’t ready to actually win the election. That’s why you had so much turnover and can actually set a political time period of a Scaramucci being 10 days. This time around the Heritage Foundation hitched their wagon to his horse. Remember also, he bought the hotel right down from the white house and refused to separate himself from it so you had foreign influences staying there trying to get cozy with him.
Openly gloating about how profitable the little people’s struggles are, he did plenty of that in Covid, and if you knew anything about the man, plenty before he was elected. This is the guy who’s always been infamous for not paying his debts.
This is Trump we’re talking about. His mask was always paper thin and falling off fifteen minutes after he said anything “politically savvy”
Anyone who has been fooled by him is a fucking idiot.
I think the thing I miss most since Trumps first run is my sense of empathy and sympathy. I used to have a belief of sure there’s disagreement and there’s room for it. Fuck that noise now. Republicans keep voting to hurt my friends consistently. At this point anyone says they’re a republican I assume they’ve lost all sense of humanity, and the head of their party at this point has zero redeeming qualities… even amongst his supporters his chronic backstabbing can’t stop.
What did McConnell say? His goal was to make Obama a lame duck president. Here we go.
You want an idea of how insane this one is? Sure, Kansas didn’t go solid blue like Texas, but understand, the last time they had a Dem senator was 1932. You gotta screw up bad to lose Kansas to a Democrat.
