I’m only 57 but I remember a time when you didn’t even know what political party your friends and neighbors were. We were all just Americans and we were mostly united. What happened?
I’m so tired of hearing “Our grandparents could buy a house on one salary, but now we can’t even afford rent on two!”
Yeah, because Grandma wasn’t blowin’ half her paycheck on $12 iced coffee and avocado toast, that’s why!
Back then, if they wanted coffee, they made it at home. With grounds so strong it could remove rust. You didn’t drink it… you survived it.
And Grandma wasn’t out there “brunchin’.” You think she had time for brunch? No! She was at home, cooking something called whatever’s left in the house.
And don’t even bring up Uber Eats.
These people today are crying about money while living in a 4-bedroom house with two SUVs, six streaming services, and matching sleeve tattoos. You think Grandpa had a tattoo? Yeah it said “Korea, 1951.” And it came with nightmares, not realitic shading.
Oh, don’t even get me started on the kids. “We can’t make ends meet, but Brayden needs the new iPhone!” No, he doesn’t! You’re giving an $1100 phone to a kid who still eats glue and boogers.
When we were kids, the family phone hung on the wall. It had a cord long enough to jump rope with, and if you wanted privacy, you had to go stand in the pantry. And somehow, we survived.
And the TV? There was one. One.
It was in the living room, and Dad controlled it. If he wanted to watch bowling, guess what? You liked bowling.
Now every room’s got a 65-inch screen, the baby’s got an iPad, and you’re sitting there wondering why you can’t afford rent.
Because you’re living like rappers, that’s why!
Grandpa wasn’t out here leasing Teslas and buying $12 smoothies called “Detox Sunrise.” He was driving a truck that sounded like thunder and smelled like oil and cigarettes.
They lived within their means. Whatever Grandpa’s paycheck bought, that’s what they had. They didn’t try to keep up with the Joneses. They were just trying to keep the fed and a roof over their heads.
So yeah, Grandpa could buy a house on one salary. But he also didn’t have 47 subscriptions and emotional-support crystals. He had one support system, Grandma, who told him to suck it up and mow the yard.
Now folks are broke, tired, and stressed… and it’s not because of inflation… it’s because y’all keep ordering tacos from DoorDash like you’re royalty.
Wake up and smell the truth!!
I just got on my knees and prayed to Jesus Christ to make sure Trump and his Cabinet are protected
Trump’s 6 month anniversary of being President is today and he has accomplished so much
AMEN 🙏
51 weeks ago Trump was shot in the face.
32 weeks ago Trump was making fries at McDonalds.
Today he is signing the BBB with B2’s flying over.
There will never be another one like him.
I've written this a couple times and deleted it, but here it goes...
I live in Western North Carolina.
I watched Joe Biden hand out billions of dollars to Ukraine.
Yet, nearly every single day here, we would get calls from families with young kids who lost their homes, begging for shelter.
During those months, I truly lost all hope.
I watched BILLIONS of dollars go out the door to another country's war, while we were driving RVs to KIDS AND THEIR PARENTS living in tents, garages, a tool sheds.
You will never convince me that Ukraine deserved billions while American citizens in Western North Carolina had to beg each other for help.
Unless you lived through that experience... unless you personally dropped off an RV at the doorstep of American mountain momma and her kids who lost everything, like I did...
...you do NOT get to tell me what we "owe" Ukraine
I wasn't a MAGA person back then. I was honestly a stuck-up jerk who thought I was better than you because I got my news from "the experts".
I couldn't have been more wrong.
Once you see the media turn on you, your own government abandon you, the bubble begins to burst.
Then, you can't unsee it.
"America First" isn't just a slogan.
It's a blood-curling-scream into the night for all of us who were abandoned by our own government when we needed it the most...
That's why I'm MAGA now.
