Grandma's Prayer: "Dear Lord, please let me live long enough to see the day when a post from the leaders of the Democratic Party gets as many hits as the latest cat video!"

Feeling better today; maybe I just needed to get some of that off my chest.

With that having been said however, I meant what I said yesterday when I pointed out marginalized people who're already living in a world of manufactured consent for their repression and potential demise are not going to be able to do revolution and fighting fascism for you by themselves.

Some of you comfortable white hets needa throw down, because if ppl nazis wanna kill could stop them alone we'd have already done it

Byeeeeeee!!!

@Tengrain lol

Byeeeeeee

Wow.

I love the concept behind the fediverse, but guys, I have to tell you, my interactions here are moribund at best. If any of you within the sound of my voice can see this post, please interact with it in some way. I'm about to call it a day.

Need a good laugh today?? Here you go! The Onion just bought InfoWars

BREAKING: Trump elected, eggs now free.

Trump advisor Elon Musk proposes new "69th" and "420th" amendments to United States Constitution.

Applicable now more than ever.

Fun fact: 72% of Trump's announced 2nd term cabinet appointees are the subjects of in-production true-crime and/or cult streaming documentaries!

Trump, seen here taking part in the musical opening of The People's Choice Awards, a song entitled "I Know What I Like!"

If you live in a swing state, CHECK YOUR BALLOT STATUS AND YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION.

I have a family member in a swing state whose vote was received but NOT recorded, which has never happened to them in previous elections.

They've also heard from many Dems whose votes were not only not recorded, but they were completely de-registered as voters as well.

You can check your ballot status at vote.org.

If DJT says "jump 3 feet high and scratch our heads, we jump 3 feet high & scratch our heads."

That is NOT NORMAL.

Following a party agenda doesn't mean doing every single thing a president dictates.

People at the head of normal political parties don't expect absolute "every single thing" unconditional personal loyalty.

The agenda--the shared mission--is what's supposed to unite a party.
Not leader worship

This is, indeed, what a dictator would demand.
Not a president of a democratic nation

With his latest cabinet appointment announcements, Trump aims to put satirists out of business without firing a legal shot.

@mloxton It's my understanding that studies reveal that depressed people have a more accurate perception of reality than others.

"Okay, so we fucked up with Trump's first term. What do we need to do?"

"Here's the plan: we're going to need four years to get ready. Let's get Dems to nominate an old guy who will only survive one term along with an unelectable VP and 'lose' to them."
