not sure I see anything here other than a healthy distrust of the government

if I missed something let me know, but I was feeling similiar to those posts at the time of being cautious about anything being rushed by a rotten apparatus

that rot of course wasn’t all trumps fault, it’s been there for years

But that "healthy distrust of government" disappeared after Biden was elected and instead turned into "science denialism that undermined our fine governmental institutions & needed to be squelched by all means necessary."

And the swivel didn't entail anything other than the color of the team jerseys.

Of course they do, that's the point.

And if Trump wins and inevitably does decide to close the border, liberals will twist themselves into knots explaining how it would have been ok for Biden to do but it's a massive human rights violation that the Bad Orange Man did it instead.

And posting any articles like that one will result in a probe for dredging up the past.

There's no such thing as a nation w/o censorship. The US approach is destructive and hateful bc it's the main propagator of capitalist empire.. Not bc the state espousing their own ideology is necessarily bad.

My friend was a fact checker both at the end of the Trump admin and in 2023, and it was really funny to see how their workload changed in that time.

In 2019-20 it was a lot of checking on prominent figures posting things that were distorting or misrepresenting facts

In 2023 it was going to Facebook uncle groups and finding out if the police really brutalized evangelical protestors

Trump rising in the polls and looking to be the favorite is breaking brains already.

Not necessarily your sister but the worst liberals are the ones spreading this poo poo around to be impossibly negative for Trump and impossibly positive for Biden.

Trump is going to send gangs door to door executing minorities but Biden will end war, hunger and provide free college for everyone. Medicare For All will even exist from May to October this year again.

Why would you choose the apocalypse on purpose?!?!

It's been neat to see everyone but the psycho true believer blue no matter who freaks no longer being swayed by bullshit promises about what a second Biden administration would do vs Trump.

Bidens been president for three years and the huge majority of Americans have seen literally no positive improvements in their life related to government policy. Rents, prices of goods, and interest rates have all skyrocketed, healthcare remains a farce, and student debt still exists (and people have had to start paying for it again). Zero progressive policy has been passed. Literally none.

A bunch of regressive poo poo like Roe v Wade overturned, huge covid death numbers, and overseeing the worst genocide of the 21st century did happen though. Thanks Joe!

So gently caress all the stupid Democrats who make noise about healthcare being a right and protecting abortion rights and democracy. You're full of poo poo and everyone knows it. gently caress you.

Then he claimed he removed my name while responding directly to me because, on reflection, the posts were "too mean" & he meant to be kinder (by removing my name and nothing else).

President Biden’s recent battleground state campaign tour didn’t draw major crowds.

But critically for the Biden campaign, it did produce a lot of content.

listen, sometimes you have to make sacrifices. and if that means asylum seekers and migrants get screwed, that's just the cost of protecting all the other groups we promise we totally care about. we'll never do the same thing for them when it is politically expedient, that's a promise.

And for all that, both parties are far more cohesive and reliable in their votes than they were at any other point in history. Democratic administrations of the past had large segments of their own party in open rebellion against their legislative priorities. Including, almost especially, the most successful ones. If one was to accept that Biden and Democratic leadership are bad at keeping the party in line, FDR and LBJ were absolute dogshit losers who bumbled into every law they passed.

No no, this is much different.

You lock yourself in a room with the West Wing and Newsroom Playing on 57 tv's stacked against a wall. Then the big idea hits you. Those hypocrit Republican justices won't be able to resist reigning in executive power when it's Joe Biden asking. There's no way Trump will be able to wriggle past legal precdent or that the Supreme Court might not bite at spite when a chance for god emperorship is on the line.

Yeah they published a plan to do a thing that might help some people if enacted, with a big plank of course being adhering to pre existing forgiveness plans, so it's like good stuff but also not really something to be especially proud of, and also literally nothing has been done yet.

But of course Dem bootlickers think it means something is actually happening.
