yorkinshire posted:This kind of poo poo was all over Facebook during the election. A family member told me he let a homeless woman live in Trump tower rent free who he met when she was panhandling. I had to explain someone who lived in a solid gold apartment in a tower with his name on it was not some kind of Jesus figure. It's not just Trump, I hear poo poo like this all the time about Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, and other rich fucks. It should be self-evidently obvious that you don't become a billionaire by being the kind of person who gives poo poo away for free to the needy, but Americans just really want to believe only good people become rich, or at least only smart, deserving people. Maybe because the reality is just too depressing and would require too much work / violence to fix.

well yeah it's just like how they'll victim blame people who've been raped or mugged and shot or whatever because the alternative that bad things can just happen to you regardless of what you do is a difficult one for many people to reconcile with their just world fallacy outlook

Car Hater posted:I almost love/hate to say this, but my dad lost the family home in 08 to a reverse mortgage + working in the home construction industry. He was homeless until I graduated college and took him in with some of my stoner buddies in a big rental in Detroit, where he could be close to odd jobs he could do under the table for a rich rear end property owner guy he knew from his working days, and we didn't make him pay rent for two years until one of my friends moved out.

He hasn't voted since losing said house, thankfully. The "drain the swamp" thing + the rise of alt-right youtube has certainly made him more insufferable though.

Man so often I see poo poo like people going on twitter and asking people to donate to their funds for medicine they need to loving live or teachers giving up sick days so other teachers can take time off to get the treatment they need to loving live and it's so insane to me that anyone would ever look at the NHS and say "yeah well sometimes people over there have to wait longer" like I can't understand eating up propaganda to the extent where people begging online for medicine they need to survive, and potentially failing and dying, is remotely comparable to having to read a book for a half hour in a waiting room nice country, good job

The average age of a congressman is like 66 lol the average age of the founding fathers was 40

As recently as last year we had a Senator who was so far into dementia that his aides had to walk him around and tell him how to vote on things. Here's a sample tweet from one of the most powerful men in the country: https://twitter.com/ChuckGrassley/status/1033035911779557376 He's 84 years old I think the Dems are a bit younger, and getting even younger by the election at the moment because there's a big push against people who have been in power for a long time FOR SOME REASON, but on the right they've been essentially so gerrymandered and unchallenged by their controlled opposition that there's districts that have just been hammering away for the incumbent for like 40 years, and there's never a challenger because barring a wave they basically can't lose and it's all machine politics so there's no real primarying either
