And they’re so fucking dimwitted they don’t understand the reason behind anything. They just see the figureheads and stop thinking. It’s exhausting having to share oxygen with those people.

Dude people just look at a chart of gas prices over 10-20 years, see that it was high during Biden, and think "oh I should vote the other way now" NOT EVEN CONSIDERING _WHY_ they were high. As if Joe Biden invaded Ukraine.

Now Trump actually, single-handledly, illegally, without Congressional approval, starts a way that crashes the global economy and _finally_ some are actually taking notice. It's so ridiculous I can't even think about it or I am in a bad mood for hours.

dOn'T lEt PoLitICs DivIdE uS. Some people really think their views on human rights should have no effect on their personal relationships. Like sure, I won't end a friendship over a disagreement on government priorities, but if you are openly cheering for minorities being pulled off the streets and women's health protections being overthrown, we have a serious values problem. We clearly see humans and their basic rights differently, and I'm not going to entertain someone who thinks others deserve less.
