It's a situation where it's a combination of "it works for me so this is how it should be for everyone" and "the world would be so much better if everyone acted this way".
On the surface it makes sense.
But it's almost passive aggressive oppression.
If we have fair elections. If we have decent candidates running. If we assume Trump is going to go willingly.
That's a lot of ifs
Democrats would rather lose their power "temporarily" than lose their influence permanently with a progressive.
We need a third party like four months ago. We are running out of time to challenge the standing democrats.
I've met these women. They aren't stupid, per se. They don't want to "think". They just want to live their simple life, doing whatever their husband or kids want.
They don't want to think about the world. Just their world.
But think about this for a second.
It's the conservative mindset: "The world doesn't affect ME so why should I care? I'm not being oppressed so everything is fine!"
You're hurting a large number of those taxpayers by doing this.
That's the point. They want to hurt people.
The problem isn't litigation. The problem is that we have a fucking monkey at the wheel of the government that doesn't believe the law applies to them.
I don't care if every court case against this administration is successful: we need to see enforcement of judgements, by force if necessary.
Jesus fucking Christ ....GitHub actions is free for open source.
And they still put their binaries behind a paywall?
I don't understand how any sane person can trust Trump. Putting his authoritarianism aside, he literally doesn't pay his lawyers. He goes back and forth on his promises. He literally raped a woman.
How anyone can even enter into a contract with him, especially in fascism times, is beyond me.
Or is it more like a battered wife situation where you pay him because not paying him would be far worse?
Hope you voted to acquit.

Back in the old days of Fark, I remember there used to be a flowchart of people's reactions to mass shootings:
- Mass shooting happens
- initial reaction: guy is a terrorist Muslim and we need to bomb some country in the middle east.
- news shows it's a white guy
- "Oh my...how sad. He must have been really struggling."
I feel like the right has replaced the second step with whatever out group they are trying to target.
Because he didn't hit a Tesla.
I felt like Matrix Resurrections was kind of a circle jerk against itself.

Neo: "but it's dead. Why don't we make something new, and exciting."
Boss: "💵"
