Reminds me of how many people were really against Obamacare, but loved the Affordable Care Act.

I've known this for a long time but I continue to do my best to operate honorably. I may never be rich or powerful, but I sleep very well at night.

Elon has alienated so many people it's not clear he would be able to form a consortium of voters big enough to matter.

To break the two-party system we have in the USA, you'd need to have overwhelming numbers, because both the Democrats and GOP have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo regarding the balance of power.

It's not that easy to get so many traitors to the Union all in one photo. I hope they all have a really crummy time.

Maybe he was looking to get rid of her anyway, so it's win/win.

My first mouse driver was smaller than the picture you attached to this post

Come to think of it, i guess the US made a perfect system to quell protests; Just make it impossible for people to take time off work, nobody will be able to protest even your most sadistic fascist laws

Correct. Bread, circuses and riot police (optional).

Now for some real North Korea shit, look up videos of the “pledge of allegiance“ in schools. I was always the only one not doing it, but it wasn’t until I was an adult that I realized how fucked up it is. Creepy as hell.

America and North Korea aren't alone in some kind of pledge for the country, are we? I have a memory of Chinese students doing the same type of thing, but I'm not entirely sure.

I don't know, it's kind of like how people like to support their local football team. I think tribalism is somewhat ingrained in our brains. I can't say it's entirely logical, but it seems kind of baked-in to people at some level, like a leftover from pre-history.

I hear you and I agree

Not much of a social safety net. Take that much time off work and things are going to get uncomfortable pretty fast. Last I heard, it's like 1/3 of America that is two paychecks away from losing their housing. It's sad.

I would like MANA (Make America Nice Again)
