I grew up in an insanely red area that was very rural. Very much a gun culture. Most trucks had a gun rack on them, etc. We had both the first day of buck season and doe season off, because most kids old enough to hunt, including some girls, were going to be skipping school anyway.

I remember visiting a kid down the road on a snow day during high school. We watched Predator on VHS + some other movies. I remember four things - Predator, since that was the first time I saw it. I remember they had several dogs that seemingly tracked in poop into the house and no one in their family seemed particularly motivated to clean it up in a timely way (but they did rent the farm house they lived in). I remember having to walk several miles back to my house in the pitch black dark in rather deep snow after watching Predator, LOL.

Lastly: I remember being blown the fuck away by how many guns they had. I mean. Several long guns - shotguns and rifles, propped up in what seemed like every corner. Several handguns, on virtually every flat surface. I didn’t really go anywhere else but the entryway, kitchen, bathroom and living room. I don’t remember guns in the bathroom, but everywhere else had a gun in your field of vision no matter where you turned.

I doubt they had a lot of money. And they had probably thousands of dollars’ worth of guns laying around.

These people definitely exist.

Also: you should ask him for the evidence. Where is it?

It’s weird how these people are so keen to pursue conspiracy theories about Fauci from six years ago, meanwhile, they don’t give a fuck about Donvict making BILLIONS right now while letting Elon kill millions of people.

And man, they love to Karen the fuck out about lockdowns. I mean, how many years ago were the last lockdowns?

They were so pissy about lockdowns at the time. Even the Karens that never left the house anyway. But that goes to the core personality flaw of so many conservatives: “you cannot tell ME what to do!!” And I still hear them going on about it (in my personal life that is). That performative bullshit that the conservatives just put Fauci through was just wild, too.

Those stupid apes like Josh Hawley (of Haulin’ Ass fame where he was recorded bravely running away from the very terrorists he encouraged) sitting there and lecturing a prominent man like Fauci? What a fucking world. I’m sure that Josh the chickenshit dumbass pussy thinks he’s a real funny and brave guy.

I’d be happy either way - as long as the cons don’t get their way.

If they get their way, they’ll install the youngest possible person they could get away with that was groomed by the Heritage Foundation since they were a fetus…

The author of this should probably watch this video if he’s trying to figure it out.

I’m sure there is a way to lift women up without punching down on and ignoring men. I’m hopeful that we find a way to strike that balance, ultimately.

Not under this administration and probably most of the manosphere is not really helping, mind you. But then, neither are the people that think misandry is a valid response to misogyny…

Telling people that are in abject misery about all the “privilege” they supposedly have is not going to make a winning coalition, either. I’ve seen women gloating and sneering about things like the male loneliness epidemic or the fact that men are unemployed. It’s not a good look, but they seem to have zero self awareness.

Wow, mission creep after being funded in the way this outfit was funded. Who could have imagined…

Yeah, that tracks. Seems toxic masculinity is involved as well.

I don’t suppose they provided any examples with evidence.

But mah Supply Side Jesus!

The data program is voluntary, meaning some states like California, Maryland and New Jersey choose to not report annual abortion numbers to the federal agency. However, 44 states currently have some form of required reporting system for abortion care.

Well, the answer is that more states need to not bother reporting at all…

Many are likely to vote R even harder, honestly. Unless they are really shown that Democrats are willing to work for them, too. And honestly, it’s not always quite so clear that’s the case, at least in certain online spaces.

Honestly, I think this is what is driving much of the fascism in this country. Resentful butthurt young men pissed about the dating scene, pissed about their job prospects, etc.

I wonder just what percentage of Americans bought into any claims from the fake organization called “DOGE”. On a Venn diagram, it’s probably a circle laid on top of a circle representing the base of supporters that still support Donvict.

After Trump won 55% of the Latino vote in Texas in 2024

Seriously, WTF.

I’d love for more reporters to ask these people just what they thought was going to happen to their workforce?

Yup. They’ll eventually find a way to blame Biden, the blacks, the gays, trans, etc…too.

It’s been pretty obvious almost from the outset that the US royally screwed the pooch on this one.

And I think Iran knows it. I’m pretty sure they want to watch Donvict squirm as he claims they are “begging him for a deal”, etc…

This is the answer. They likely DESTROYED our long-term viability.
