We BEGAN our existence with slave holding white men who created documents to rule the country which stated “All men are created equally”. Then went home, treated the women in their lives like shit for the next 142 years AT LEAST, while also owning slaves.

Today slavery is mostly abolished, and women have equal rights.

Believe it or not, this IS progress…really really slow progress.

Really? That’s disappointing. That sounds like a Texas thing more than a California thing.

Shit, what’s next? Texas raises their min wage to $20 an hour, and tied to inflation?

God damn! These states are losing their identity. Michigan voted red…I mean, I know I’m legally obligated to hate Michigan as a resident of Ohio, but damn. Michigan used to make me jealous of their government. Now it’s voted red.

And yes, I’m aware Ohio also voted red. But we’re Ohio. Nobody was expecting anything cool from us. Michigan had expectations.

Of coarse none of that matters. Without PA, Harris had no path to victory. So, we should all be mad at PA.

So I propose for the next 4 years we boo every PA sports team. Their residents don’t deserve happy sports.

Of coarse, that being said, who CAN you cheer??? I propose Seattle. That way, you don’t have to cheer the Yankees. Plus, you don’t get caught up in the whole Boston fued.

Who’s going to fued with Seattle? Assholes. That’s who.

To be fair they only went red for the president. Both their senators are democrats and their representatives are 50/50.

I used to believe this, I truly did think that overall there was progress. But I’m worried now because it looks like we’re going backwards, I just hope we don’t slide too far that we legitimately undo it all.

There are more slaves nowadays than ever before, we just outsourced them to the south with some middleman that way pay so nobody can say, that we are slave holders anymore.
