@Empty_America LOL I work at a trucking company and I'm pretty sure I'm the only one with an X account. Our staff bitch about the heat incessantly, working AC in trucks is a non-negotiable, and my boss (a typical Gen X Trump supporter) gets whiny if it's over 70 in the office.

@ShutItAIIDown @wil_da_beast630 IIRC Poland had more demographically "balanced" losses than the USSR, and their population size didn't recover from the war until the 1980s. I put "balanced" in quotation marks because none of the Eastern front countries came close to recovering their Jewish populations.

@RobertLutherFL @tsarlet2 @JustinWStapley The Democrats had more House reps after 1984. I can assure you that they didn't walk away from that election feeling like winners.

@BillOliger @ArgumentsGod @JustinWStapley It was Reagan, who if you recall legalized abortion as Governor of California. He then screwed the pro-lifers by nominating O'Connor.

Let us remember that Roe was upheld in Casey (back when it mattered) by an entirely Republican-appointed group.

@JustinWStapley Christians have done nothing but lose the hearts and minds of Americans for at least the last century.

The Great Awakening already happened, except it was Woke and secular.

@theenjineer @wil_da_beast630 Russians do, and enough Ukrainians do that they're the largest source of foreign soldiers in a war against Ukraine.

@EssexJunto @PhilWMagness @grok Marx wasn't alive for the Revolution, but he did support Lincoln during the Civil War.

@RickEsenberg I presume that you have no answer to the fact that the free movement of labor inevitably means the end of the free market by the ballot box. 19th century America was voted out of existence by Ellis Islanders, and so shall Reagan be ended by the children of Simpson-Mazzoli.

[Larry Foulke @Solowngpixy]

@rjp1208 @council_floyd @RedEaglePatriot Yes, it was. Reagan lost the Hispanic vote by 32 points in 1984, signed the IRCA in 1986, and then H.W. Bush lost the Hispanic vote by 40 points in 1988 and 36 points in 1992.

@MostlyPeaceful Something, something, "Party of Lincoln"...

[Larry Foulke @Solowngpixy]

@RiverDetritus Good taste!

[Larry Foulke @Solowngpixy]

@Lucius_Winslow @honestpollster I'm including the 2000s and 2010s. We can exclude the 2020s for now but they're following the same pace as the 2010s so far.

@JohannTetzel6 @CathyYoung63 The Soviets were in fact subjected to quite a bit of arm twisting on the subject. The US all-but conditioned grain exports to the USSR on compliance with the Jackson-Vanik amendment.

Fun fact, that's also how her fellow Muscovite Max Boot wound up in America.

[Larry Foulke @Solowngpixy]

@wil_da_beast630 Hilariously ungrateful given that it was American arm-twisting (aka. the Jackson-Vanik Act, something I refuse to believe that she's unaware of) that forced the USSR to allow families like hers to leave in the first place.

[Larry Foulke @Solowngpixy]

@Mean_Repubican @Trianonwasbad @TheAleksee Makes sense, given how badly Dole was stomped overall. On that note, IIRC Dole was the last GOP candidate to win the Asian-American vote.

[Larry Foulke @Solowngpixy]

@Emptier_America Ukraine flairs not understanding this is ironic to the point of being deliberately obtuse.

@Shotgun_Chuck @Flatt0pH8r I earned my first speeding ticket in my dad's Sentra Spec V and my first car was a stick shift Honda (Accord; I wanted a Prelude, speaking of reboots that missed the point) so I suppose K series life was inevitable at some point.

[Larry Foulke @Solowngpixy]

@Shotgun_Chuck @Flatt0pH8r Those Cobras were cool and very fast for the time.

Part of me wants a 10th or 11th gen Si but they are still quite expensive used and Type Rs are insanely expensive.

[Larry Foulke @Solowngpixy]

@Shotgun_Chuck @Flatt0pH8r Yeah, millennial guilty as charged here, clinging to my 8th gen Civic Si that's frankly a ragged out POS. Is it really that fast (even with a K24a swap)? No, but slamming through the gears in VTEC is fun and it doesn't feel like I'm driving a tank.
