Yes. It's the "Aktuly Big Number Go Up, but Trump is winning because the vibes are literally just off".
Just doing the standard neoliberal gaslighting while poverty climbs and the wealth disparity grows ever wider.

God damn. Genuinely want to see Baz Luhrmann remake now.
Gotta get that big number to go up. And if there's one place where you can find infiniti free money for any old stupid thing, its in the Pentagon budget.
You don't have to outrun the mob. You just have to outrun Mitt Romney.

Literally a meme
Stancil joined Twitter in June of 2009, an early user. Throughout the 2010s and 2020s, he posted frequently about policy topics. In the fall of 2023, as the vibescession discourse took off, Stancil became involved in an increasingly intricate series of beefs. It started with him espousing the vibecession, amid pushback from leftists who believed that he was endorsing the status quo. The dispute then escalated into high profile confrontations with presidential candidate Marianne Williamson (seen below left) and pundit Nate Silver (seen below right). In particular, Stancil's dispute with Silver attracted attention and headlines, including retweets from figures like New York Times columnist Ross Douthat.
Guess my mothers an idealist and a :LIB:, but we knew that already.
My wife's cousin transitioned and she had a much harder time adjusting to it than I did. A big part of that, from her perspective, was that she'd known him since he was a very little kid.
The conversation took an upsetting detour where I had to hold space for and take care of her emotions. I mean, I asked her multiple times during the whole convo how she was doing, if shes ok, but that same care doesnt get extended to me. Im just sick of saying "hey ive got a problem with how youre treating me" and it getting turned into me taking care of the other persons emotions.
I mean, that's just moms for you. Not even a Trans issue, strictly speaking. As you get older and more mature, they are getting older and less mature. Its not something that's easy to grapple with, but your 50-70 year old mom is not the same person she was when she was 20 years younger. My mom can barely drive anymore because she's got so much accumulated anxiety. She cries at the drop of a hat. She struggles with all sorts of things that she could more easily handle a decade ago.
In summation, i desperately need a job so I can move out again.
Definitely easier to deal with parents in smaller doses. But its also frustrating, because I find myself coming home to help with stuff more and more that she struggles with. I wish this country had clear and easy off-ramps for the elderly, so they weren't trapped in jobs and homes and other bullshit that just wears them down even faster as they get on in years.
If you really want to nostalgia yourself into the next dimension, do this while the anime plays on your second screen.
Weed is more of a handicap. Its like doing golf with one hand behind your back.
Neoliberals will note that, in the event of a grease fire, spraying water is actually bad. And they will use this as a point of evidence in their "Why we should defund the fire department" master's thesis.
Heh, my ideology is so much more complex.
Sort of the joke of neoliberalism. If you put out a 20,000 page white paper with the title "Socialism Bad, White Country Good" then you are correct, right up until someone issues a 21,000 page white paper that reads "DEBUNKED: Why White Country Sometimes Bad, but Socialism Even Worse Than Originally Thought".
Not surprising how many of these chucklefucks think AI is going to be a game-changer. After all, with a ChatBot I can produce white papers of infinite length! Try and refute that, stupid leftists. You can't!
They aren't even getting turned gay, as I was promised.
