s&p 500 is +10% in the same period, so, like, while it is part of a bad underlying system, don't be stupid enough to not grab money that the system could be throwing your way

don't worry I'm tithing to capital like a good littler parishioner, just not a cent more than I get matching on and thus some kind of more likely return than the absolutely none I'd be getting otherwise

lmao at this whole rickety structure being around post-2050, if the wall street types actually thought this system had that kind of life left in it, 401k's would be getting weakened enormously

probably a stronger version of this is that they have had to bullet-proof and alarm the memorial to Emmitt Till because it’s white fragility Mecca apparently

e: this is probably one of the most concise ways I can explain Tupelo (where the trump rally was held)

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Words don't mean things to these people. Those are labels for bad people. Trump signals his loyalty to the tribe and thus he is part of it.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Didn't Trump get a big burn in the GOP primary with 'What do you mean 'New York values', we survived 9/11' or something along those lines? About the only time playing on the cognitive dissonance of Republicans actually worked.

9/11 is one weird trick since it's connected to the GOP war mongering instincts.
