    Grossly oversimplifying how the Democrats SQUASH real progressives and bring watered down meager “progress.” Despite the fact survey after survey will show the vast majority of the country wants significant progressive change or at least agrees with the ideas, like right to abortion or gun control measures, or expanded healthcare.

    They lost multiple times in the last decade by forcing candidates the majority clearly did not want, but settled for. They forced Biden back into the picture, and Biden was unwilling to do anything serious or drastic while he had the reigns.

    They toss out ideas cranked up to 4 instead of 10, get challenged, and then throw up their hands like they’re all out of options while the other side destroys the place with them.

    Look at Schumers actions last month with the Continuing Resolution. Pathetic weasel.

    Yes. The literal Nazi is the worst. But that doesn’t make the democrats actions okay. The democrats have been the enablers who allowed it to get this far with the Nazis. Together, both parties are doing everything they can to control the narrative and not let it get out of their hands.

    Learn to walk and chew gum at the same time. Anger does not need to have a binary limit.








  • Simply being family doesn’t mean you get to remain in my life. Cut off anyone who is toxic or otherwise not good for your life and health. This includes parents.

    After a decade it is still surprising to me how many people seem appalled by my no contact situation. I’m sorry, but I’ve wasted enough of my life on them and wishing for a fantasy dynamic that will never exist.

    “But they’re your blood…”

    So what.

    “But they’re your family…”

    No they’re not. I made new family.

    Some people have really judged me for this decision. I judge others as they complain about their toxic families they never do anything about.

    I’m living in a world that by default assumes all military and police are good. I’ve slowly over time seen enough to migrate to the other side. Fuck them all. And especially fuck the cult-like worship of military, and to a lesser extent, all policing.

    The grey area you’re referencing also leads to bipartisan demands. Look where that gets us with extremists? No thanks.

    Statistically speaking, any cop I see or encounter is likely some kind of piece of shit, abusing their spouses, or their kids, or other people’s kids, or generally being bigoted in their job and likely seeking excuses to overly apply authority put of their subconscious need to control others and feel important, or just enabling other cops to be assholes. Fuck em all.
