That shit really worked though. reagan used to be a punchline in our house back in the 80’s and 90’s (was default family knowledge that he was essentially a supervillain). These days, at least to certain relatives, he’s now basically a saint.

No worries, there’s always room for comments saying “fuck reagan”

Agreed, 100%. Why it’s still real and immediate, feels like there is some hope. We gotta work for it though.

With a picture like that, dude is one of my favorite historical people :).

That fucker has done damage that will take years, decades even, to undo.

It is this kind of news that has allowed me to catch my breath. I no longer see a turnip dictatorship as an inevitability; a real and immediate danger, but one that feels less and less likely.

Now, if they stick one in a framework laptop, I’ll be a few thousand dollars poorer.

I didn’t think it was but as I’ve started listening, I’m finding a lot that I actually enjoy. It started with “You Need to Calm Down”, my wife was playing it in the car and I dug the music (has a good beat, is interesting vocally, etc.). Then I listened to the lyrics and was a bit taken aback because of her apolitical reputation.

She’s got much more of an edge than I expected so Ive got a lot to explore :).

I avoid pop culture wherever possible so I am almost entirely ignorant of Swift’s musical catalog. That said, the attention the republicans have been giving her lately has me interested enough to start listening to her music to see what the big deal is. I have found quite a few songs I enjoy and Apple Music has been suggesting more and more of her stuff that I find myself not skipping.

So, the GOP war on Swift has added at least one more person to her fanbase 🤣

I am having a very hard time believing this post is meant in good faith. Biden has many good and progressive accomplishments under his belt and the negatives, while glaring, are almost entirely shared by his opponents.

If you can't find reasons to vote for biden for "who he is" then you either have willful blinders on or are trying to push an agenda.
