Right now, the Republican Party has been hijacked by its extreme base — leaving a number of people, just like me, with no place to go. This is a unique opportunity for the Democratic Party to fill that void, but it can only happen if Democrats make an honest effort.

So sick of hearing this. They have never been hijacked. The party has always held pro-white, anti-everything else positions in every policy they've put forward for the past 55 years. If he still sees no place to go then he is devoid of compassion and/or empathy. He is a lost cause and the left wouldn't want him anyways.

What kind of loving moron treats politics like sports? Backing the wrong sport team doesn't kill people and tank the country.

Florida: "Help! HELP! I'm a super-flat state that's right in the way of hurricanes all the time!"
Goons1-4: "START PREPARING NOW! You gotta elect people who will protect the wetlands that absorb all the flooding, get serious about preparing for climate change, and no matter what you do, STOP PAVING OVER the whole state!"
Florida: "I'm thinking I should elect Rick Scott and a bunch of people who say that climate change isn't real, so that will make the hurricanes not happen."
Goon5: "NO! I lived in Louisiana, and we had a Republican president and governor and it was a REALLY BAD IDEA, their ideas are like cancer."
Goons6-8: "We're sending in Al Gore and pretty much all the climate scientists in the world, and they say stop paving over wetlands and cutting regulations on development and pollution!"
Goon9: "I've even sent you a 1.6 billion dollar plan to make Florida more safe from hurricanes!"
Florida: "I can see the scientific consensus and the plan, but I'm thinking I should just deregulate all the developers and corporations and just pave over the floodplain of every large city in Florida. Should I deregulate?"
Goon10: "No! If you deregulate, your whole state will be so vulnerable to hurricane damage that you'll be proper hosed. I should know, I almost drowned in Katrina."
Florida: "I deregulated a little bit, and reduced the repair fund down to $50 million, and now all my corporate friends are much richer and tell me they love me. Should I deregulate some more?"
Goons11-18: "NO! SPEND 1.6 BILLION DOLLARS AND PREPARE YOUR STATE FOR A HURRICANE, CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL, AND YOU'RE GONNA GET hosed!"
Florida: "Guys, Hurricane Irma is headed straight for me, but it's impossible for that to be true because we banned our scientists from even mentioning the word climate change. Plus, noted Floridian Rush Limbaugh says this hurricane is fake news, and we should all just stay in our homes. Help! HELP!!!"
Goon19: "I had a CAT 5 hurricane coming toward me once. We had prepared for a decade in advance, building dikes and levees, spending money on infrastructure and preparedness drills, and got the whole state, regardless of race or affiliation, to participate in drills so that we would be prepared. Plus we realized that more government is GOOD in this case, and spent a BUNCH of money making sure we'd be safe in the future. I've designed and built a time machine which I'm sending to you, so you can go back to 2005, and start immediately on increasing the size of your government and funding so your people don't all loving die in a terrible, terrible, preventable disaster.
Florida: "Thanks for your help, guys. I'm gonna keep voting for Republicans and people who deny climate change to make the hurricanes go away.
Then I'm going to cut more taxes and regulations and build a fuckin shitload of McMansions all over the coast."
**Quidam Viator tells all the Floridians they are loving idiots, and that electing Trump and the GOP will not, in fact, result in good things, but instead, will cause them and everyone and everything they love to be destroyed. Then he votes for Trump so the Floridians would get what they want, and pisses off to a geologically safe region**
Goon21: "Guys, seriously... stop being accelerationists, it's loving ghoulish. It's not Floridians' fault they got in this situation, and it's terrible that you voted for a guy knowing that his policies would kill all the people who believed in him."
Floridian:"Yeah, like any of you guys have even seen a real hurricane, I've got 25 blocks of ice, and I'm gonna ignore that lieberal evacuation warning, you tankie antifa globalist fucks."
Everybody: *Laughs at Florida having committed suicide via its own stupidity, pisses on its corpse.*


AHAHAHAHAHAHA i may not be able to show you on the doll where florida touched me, but it broke my fucken brain, and now I can only shitpost my glee in knowing that a kind of karmic justice is beginning to descend upon the shittiest state in the union

It's weird because they moved the goalposts for Gen-X by several years. I was born in 78 and technically I'm not a gen-xer although my brother who's 10 years older than me is. in this chart it shows me as a gen-xer which I guess is okay, and it also shows that people of my age went left-leaning which is probably true

‘Gen-X,’ and every other ‘Generation’ is bullshit. They’re meaningless distinctions with no consensus over definition which allows anyone to skew them to whatever suits the point they’re trying to make at the time.

Your post exemplifies why it’s bullshit—none of those demographics are defined solely by date of birth, but also class, social, and geographic statuses.
