Your dad reminds me of my wife’s uncle. He has a disabled wife and is absolutely DROWNING. Apparently, this is all immigrants’ fault and Trump will solve his problems.
He’s also a raging alcoholic, and seems to be terrorizing his wife. His adult son hangs around, I think fearing what would happen to her if he left.
I see nothing in the article that indicates Trump himself feels this way. What his “advisors” think is irrelevant.
My only solace is that he’ll take part in the insane suffering that’s coming.
Thanks for writing this for me.
I’m in the same boat. I’m a white straight guy. So, I guess I’m not in immediate danger, although I am an academic. So, I guess my choices are: fight, flee or essentially hide.
Fighting seems infeasible although I think violence is justifiable.
Fleeing would require leaving the country. I dunno if I can swing that.
So…I guess I just live my life and hope it’s not quite as bad as I fear? I dunno. I’m open to advice.
I do now hate this country and the bulk of the people who live here. Fuck them.
Vance thinks “normal” gay men are like him: closeted and married to women.
Ok probably not sincere.
The contentiousness is what put killing the filibuster on the table. In less contentious times, we didn’t need to destroy basic political norms just to save people’s lives.
It takes basically no effort to vote. Things are clearly better with Harris winning than Trump.
Win the WH, win both houses of Congress, blow up the filibuster and enact national protections for abortion.
Will it work? Probably not. It definitely won’t happen if Trump wins, though.
Plus if Trump wins, Alito and Thomas retire and get replaced by 25 year old fascists and things get even worse for decades.
I dunno if you were being sincere or intentionally obtuse, but it’s kind of straightforward that we have to win.
I think probably MAGA falls apart as no one can galvanize these people like he does. What do you think will happen?
Sure, but I wouldn’t have my kid work on a farm or in a quarry. Ideally you get an internship in college or something. Maybe bag groceries.
Difficult manual labor isn’t an entry point into any fulfilling career I can think of, but different strokes.
On 1/6 I kept thinking that there was finally a good reason for the police to open fire on people and they didn’t fucking do it. I guess they weren’t innocent or black enough.
The rest knows he will and are fine with it.
Does Biden have the stones to go through with that? My worry is he won’t.
In my dreams, they try that shit and the US military gets to take them all out in one fell swoop. I know that’s not how it’ll play out, but I can dream.
When is she gonna be invited to headline a Trump rally?
Yeah, but it’s still difficult manual labor. Not work I’d want for myself or my hypothetical children.
If you want an economy where every citizen has a chance to be middle class, you have to find some other source of labor to do working class jobs. That’s why we shouldn’t even want American citizens to do these jobs. Bring in immigrants that get paid well relative to where they came from to do that stuff and send our citizens to school and do middle class work. It’s a win-win for all involved.
That’s not even mentioning our problem with an aging population that requires immigration to sustain social programs.
The work they do fucking sucks regardless of the pay.
It’s not like Trump wore a tan suit or asked for dijon mustard.
Do angry incels want to spend more on electronics?
