I have empathy for those in the state South of us. But very little sympathy. Your population of morons voted for this. Just like ours did. You get what you voted for. So have the day you voted for.
I would feel SO much better if they even had an inkling that they have done this to their own selves.
Dumb fucks are down there buried in rubble and blaming Obama.
My realtor thinks everything is Biden’s fault
Why do you do business with them? You can vote with your wallet with a hell of a lot of the transactions that occur in your daily life.
Because I didn’t know in the beginning and now the process is almost done. I’m not sacrificing my first house because I want to stick it to one misguided individual who is too susceptible to propaganda
I hope you at least give him a hearty "fuck you" right after the ink dries at closing, though.
they think biden and the haitans, they used the weather controller.
That's definitely the most frustrating part about this. They will turn around and gleefully blame the victims of this. Rather than taking responsibility themselves.
Even while they ARE the victims
Small point of distinction. If you throw yourself into a wood chipper you aren't a victim of the wood chipper. Just your own hubris. But otherwise I agree absolutely.
Or DEI, or immigrants, or trans, or or or any of the other non threats they've been programmed to fear.
Or the most powerful minorities of all. The gays. Who by simply existing can cause earthquakes and hurricanes!
Born and raised. I live just outside one of the major Metropolitan areas. But I spent Summers down in the southern Ozarks near the Tripoli mines when I was a kid. Know the Mennonites up north. About the only area I'm not very familiar with is down in the boot heel
Well the real key on that is to stop looking at it as us and them. Because they are us. When it really comes down to it they generally want the same thing. They just let themselves get distracted with culture war issues. Dehumanizing and othering people who aren't them. Just as we are easily susceptible to stories media and Outlets that dehumanize and other them or tying them as the problem.
They think wealthy Democrats are to blame for all their problems. If we are being extremely generous they might be 10 to 25% correct. Whereas Democrats and many progressives feel it is wealthy Republicans that are to blame. Which again 75 to 80% correct. Which is just how the people who are the problems like it. Continuing to make it an US versus them thing. When the truth is it doesn't matter what party they pretend to be in. It's on the wallpapers that are the problem. And that's something both Republican voters and everyone else can really agree when you get down to it. But that is what would really terrify the people who are the problem. If we were to unite against them.
Though as an anarchist that may just be my personal views.
No war but class war, stay strong friend ✊
Excellent distinction.
Ms huckabee was originally part of his 1st admin before trump had no use for her anymore.
Oh I have no empathy or sympathy for her horrible family or her. Just the average person that lives in the states and isn't an elected official.
