If it takes that much effort to get them to share it simply becomes far more energy-efficient to off the whole lot of them.

It’s only surprising if you don’t understand why they voted for Trump

Edit for the people asking: it’s because the democrats didn’t present solutions for our economy. Regular Americans care whether they can put food on the table. An insurance CEO has a lot to do with that. They know healthcare is broken. They know about income inequality and the record corporate profits. Neither party has presented solutions to fix it, but the right wing is always willing to make up bullshit and look for scapegoats about whatever grievance will energize their base.

People are hurting right now, many of them blame Biden. Kamala promised to do more of the same, and if she promised solutions then they were lighter versions of what Trump promised. This not only legitimized Trump’s positions at the national level but made the Democrats look incompetent for going back on their previous stances.

As many of us know; there are real solutions, which she was not willing to vouch for; and there are ways to combat Trump’s rhetoric, which she was only willing to do in the most extreme cases but not at the fundamental level. This very predictably depressed her base. She was wholly unwilling to even pretend to champion their interests.

That’s it. It’s not quippy, but it’s literally that simple. Stop seeing the worst in people and being uncurious just because your team lost. You aren’t going to beat Republicans by acting like Republicans.

Micheal Cane was great in a Muppet Christmas Carol because he treated the Muppets like fellow actors.

Tim Curry was great in Muppet Treasure Island because he acted like a fellow Muppet.

I haven’t really seen people with Muppet acting like they’re anything other than actual living beings. everyone seems to fully embrace it regardless of their acting chops. they make eye contact, listen and converse with them respectfully, even though they probably see the puppeteers very clearly.

Dude, Patrick Stewart is like a trained Shakespearean actor. It would be shocking if he hadn’t played Scrooge.

I knew he did on stage. I didn’t know there was any movie or film. It was great.

The first and second of those resulted in an emperor and the third, leaders for life that might as well have been called emperor. Not much of an improvement in the end. Still the wealthy in control of everyone else.
