@ljmontello We don’t think that. We are just sick of being slammed by you little monsters who will inherit our shit anyway. It sounds like you little brats expect us to off ourselves to coddle you. Well, go fuck yourself.
I think my retirement plan should have been storming the Capitol on Jan 6th, and collect my payout from Trump! I served 5 years in State Prison for selling sugar to a Fed.
When Trump ran in 2016, he surged in popularity because a huge portion of America felt forgotten and invisible.
His populist MAGA movement crossed generational, racial, religious, and ideological lines, building a massive and diverse coalition.
What’s happening now is that many conservatives under 40 are beginning to feel the way that coalition felt in 2016: disenfranchised, ignored, and disillusioned by the system.
Meanwhile, many Baby Boomers are generally satisfied. Their property values are rising, their 401(k)s are growing, and they strongly support America’s relationship with Israel.
As a result, many younger conservatives are becoming increasingly unhappy not only with the direction of American politics, but also increasingly resentful toward a generation they feel they have less and less in common with — and toward an administration they believe caters to that generation at their expense.
Caught in the middle is Gen X, often split between both sides entirely, or issue by issue.
But one thing is becoming abundantly clear: the conservative movement 10 years from now will bear little resemblance to the conservative movement of today.
As feelings of anger, betrayal, and resentment compound, most of the ideas being accepted as the standard today are going to be thrown out.
The next generations are going to tear the system down.
And that is the great disappointment of this moment.
It could have been different.
There was every opportunity to begin building the future of the conservative movement right now — by listening to younger generations and including them in discussions about the decisions being made today that will shape their lives tomorrow.
It could have been a multi-generational coalition built on mutual respect, leading toward a smooth passing of the baton.
Instead, this increasingly feels like an administration designed almost exclusively around the priorities of the oldest generation.
It’s not sustainable. In its current form, it leaves little room for adaptation, transition, or expansion. It’s alienating.
The next 10 years of the conservative movement are going to be the Wild West. And though there will be great uncertainty, there will also be great opportunity.
So my son interviewed my gay friend for an assignment in school where they were to interview a “member of the LGBTQ community “ .
I thought it would be funny because my friend is no bs person but how the hell is he supposed to hand this in? 😂 I knew it would’ve bad but now he’s transcribing it , it’s so much worse than I thought.. We are debating whether to clean it up for the assignment or leave it and risk his grade but have a laugh. The teacher Is a virtue signaling moron. Not sure what to do now . Here is just one answer he provided 😂
“How has it impacted your life to be a part of LGBTQ community?”
It hasn’t because I’m not part of any community. I’m just a gay man . They just keep adding letters and I don’t even know what some of these letters mean . You know what Q is ? It’s “queer”. That’s a slur. If someone calls me queer, we have a problem . I get that this is what they teach you nowadays and you have to use the letter mafia vocabulary but I want nothing to do with it. I just happen to be gay. My whole life is not me being gay and some flag or letters that mean things that have nothing to do with me . It’s all bullshit .
.@POTUS: "Honoring the British King might seem an ironic beginning to our celebration of 250 years of American independence — but in fact, no tribute could be more appropriate. Long before Americans had a nation or Constitution, we first had a culture, a character, and a creed. Before we ever proclaimed our independence, Americans carried within us the rarest of gifts: moral courage, and it came from a small but mighty kingdom from across the sea."
American,
Why does your street have potholes?
Why are your police underpaid?
Why are teachers below the poverty line?
Why is there trash across your highway?
Because most of your tax dollars go to paying for either some ghetto family’s groceries or some foreigner’s rent.
Trump cheated in 2016.
Trump tried to cheat in 2020 and got caught.
Trump cheated again in 2024.
We MUST pass nationwide voter ID laws to stop Trump and his cohorts from cheating again in 2028. It’s time to pass the SAVE AMERICA ACT and SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY!! 🇺🇦🌊✊🏿💉😷
Massive healer shakeup incoming for 12.0.5 — Holy Paladin gets up to 20% healing buffs, Disc Priest gets a full rework, and Mistweaver takes a double nerf. Here's every change. 🔥 https://t.co/Qay51s4uBa #warcraft#midnight
The median US income for 2025 was around $60,000. Out of this, around $12,000 will be paid in taxes; 20% of one’s salary; 2.4 months of the year.
11m/12,000= 917 people’s tax payments
917 people wasted a cumulative 66,941 days, or 183 years, working diligently just for this guy to abscond with their money
And that’s just this one guy.
This money was taken from people at gunpoint, forcibly removed from their paychecks, wrested from their pockets, under the auspices of “fixing the roads,” and “funding the schools,” just for the world’s retards to steal it in looney tunes schemes while our government sits there with their heads up their asses
Tax fraud is not just mythical money taken out of a bottomless pocket; this sort of fraud and our government’s inability and unwillingness to do anything about it makes a mockery of the days and weeks and years that people take to work to try and create a better life and a better future for themselves
In our anarcho-tyrannical system, the backbone of our country gets penalized, threatened, persecuted, and prosecuted, while the world’s poor are given free rein to siphon off the only truly limited resource we have: time.
And, thankfully, because of our “compassionate” justice system, even if they catch him, even if they charge him, even if they convict him (all pretty big ifs), then his punishment is… living off the taxpayer dime.
@redheadranting My husband and I are leaving Wisconsin next month for very similar reasons. The decline is on purpose and has been unmanaged as our ‘betters’ loot the coffers of our waning empire. It’s so sad.
People on the right who have been mentally modelling the world since they were kids, constantly updating and revising their mental model so that it’s able to reliably anticipate basic functioning of the world around us, so we can navigate the world without being blindsided all the time; have trouble internalising this:
- leftists don’t abide by the principle of non-contradiction
- they do not understand the world through abstract or ideal first principles which they then apply universally, in a predictable and stable manner
- like situations are therefore not alike
- everything is its own thing & has no bearing on anything else
- noticing patterns is racist hateful and evil so they stopped doing that a long time ago, pattern recognition is haram
Every position they hold is a unique stance that they imbibed from the media. They don’t start from an abstraction and think critically to rach their conclusion. They literally watched Colbert and had it drilled into their brain. They don’t have first principles or universal values. They do what they are told. Because it benefits their coalition to do so. That’s it.
That’s their whole worldview and it’s why they don’t flinch when they contradict themselves. They don’t have an “ideology” arrived at through abstract reasoning or critical thinking, they’re part of a cult that does everything humanly possible to prevent them from ever thinking about anything for any reason. They regurgitate the party line and experience affirmation and inclusion from their peers when they do. So they keep doing it. It’s that basic. They are Pavlov’s dog.
