It’s a lot easier to blame things than to fix them.

If it makes you feel better, the one genuine silver lining I’ve found is my family in the military say that the odds of these chucklefucks getting full military support is very unlikely.

But is such a small silver lining…

I would imagine (if they’re savvy, and the people running Project 2025 definitely are) they’d be more likely to keep him around as long as he was a useful distraction, then have him assassinated at a key point, and blame a liberal.

That would not only get him out of the way so the real work could begin, it would do double-duty of riling up his murderous base and giving them a ‘legitimate’ excuse to start sending the military after blue states and political rivals.

Isn’t just the aging ones sadly. Lots of young people, especially young men, went for Trump. Andrew Tate has taught them well.

What’s your location? What is the soil like (pH, mineral content, clay vs loam vs sand, etc)? Full sun, or are their tall buildings or other trees around?

I remember in a discussion about whether AirBnB was bad or not, and a PoC pointing out that, before AirBnB and prices posted online, hotels would regularly charge PoC higher prices, or ‘somehow’ be suddenly out of rooms when someone with dark skin walked in the door.

They agreed AirBnB was rotten, but they also were glad that the company forced a transparency that the service industry really needed.

Oh boy did they ever. Tearing up fences and burning them, stealing produce out of fields and throwing it at houses, barricading all the adults inside their houses so they couldn’t ruin the fun…

Tasting History did a pretty interesting video on it, actually.

Men who are inferior to their fellow men, are always most anxious to establish their superiority over women.

-Mary Wollstonecraft

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth.

This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.

-C. S. Lewis
