I have a cousin who was really obnoxious and macho. Then he came out of the closet and dropped all that shit. When people can’t be their authentic selves, they tend to lash out in strange ways. Homophobia was drilled into my cousin at a young age so it was really hard for him to accept who he is.

When was there a time where people were fighting for basic human rights and in retrospect, it wasn’t considered the right thing to do?

That’s just what gets the most media because pretty white women getting harassed by ICE will get a lot more clicks than all the brown skinned people getting harassed by ICE

Oh fuck, all day in the barrens chat

The early days of wow were a magical time. I loved jumping around and getting stuck in the most random, remote areas of the map

Your answer is you’re armed? Does that mean you’ll shoot and kill the bad people who rise to power in your country?

Okay, if this was happening in your country, what would you do that would actually stop fascism?

I realize it’s just a joke, but from someone whose hangovers were so bad, I literally almost killed myself, I don’t recommend alcohol as medication. Fortunately I’m five years sober and been in therapy since my last drink, so there’s that in case anyone needed to hear it

As Homer Simpson says; it’s the cause of and solution to all of life’s problems

Not with that attitude

It’s not the polls he’d worry about, it’s the billionaires funding his opponents. Now that he’s retiring, he doesn’t have to deal with campaign fundraising

Thank you! Come on, people!

Honestly what else is there to do? These people aren’t exactly going to change their minds, and letting them display hate in the name of free speech is only going to help them mobilize and elect more trumps in the world.

Right but the previous commenter is saying adding 10k troops isn’t going to impact the existing ways those guns are smuggled into Mexico. They’d have to stop and search every car which would require a lot more people at the border

If I was his family, I’d tell him Harris won by a single vote. Guy was already on his deathbed and would never know. Let him go out on a high note

What about a wrong to right the wrongs of capitalism?

I went to one in a small town in Japan years ago. It was actually really adorable, the owner LOVED that I was from California

Agreed! Get your volunteer on

I looked it up, and the difference in the voting numbers are close for each swing state when you compare the results from 2020 and 2024. Another factor is that there are more eligible voters in each state so voter turnout was still less as a percentage when you factor in population growth

The person you’re replying to also said “non voters” which was definitely a significant chunk of people compared to 2020’s voter turnout
