Advocate for antivax bullshit that kills people? Sure! Encourage politicians to stop live-saving cancer research, gut the VA, and reduce safety standards that will have more people suffering? Cool beans!

Oh, you don't like that and want to voice your opinion? GFY

No gang ties, no criminal history, not even from that country.

We are the baddies.

Fucking scary shit. Now, it is simply "liking" content Reddit doesn't like. Soon, it will be upvoting things that the government doesn't want you to see, or paints them in a bad light.

If I'm sideloading apps, it is usually because I want nothing to do with their storefront or nonsense.

It's a shame, there was a scene cut where Captain America walks by a building showing graffiti art of his helmet with the word 'fascist' in red on it, causing him to sigh and toss it off. I don't think he wore it again until Endgame, where they incorporated it into the time travel suit.

Wish that scene should've been kept in, and had a bit more focus on Steve Rodgers questioning if he truly was working for organizations that believed what he did. A crisis of faith moment for him instead of a quick 3-second pass with a joke from Hawkeye.

Ah, I see our glorious leaders are reaching the "FO" phase of "FAFO".

Yeah, our untainted cow milk may be cut off, but on the upside, we are swimming in the production of bull shit

I've been encouraging more people to carry. The way the three letter agencies are conducting themselves, they are indistinguishable from random kidnappers or gangs. Which, I suppose, is quite fitting.

I think there are a lot of people who honestly mean well. Have been in the past, and likely still are. But what we have right now, to take a cue from Komodo up above with his Captain American post, this is like real-world Captain America: Winter Soldier, where it looks like overnight we've suddenly become a fascist nation. Sad reality though is, like that movie, things have been going on for decades that led us to this point.

I'm not optimistic about our near future. Shit looks grim. But, I'm optimistic that we can eventually fight our way out of it, and hopefully correct things after whatever needs to be done, is done. Got to have some hope, otherwise there's no point in holding on at all.

The problem is the orange man with tiny hands has a tiny penis complex, and needs to take it out on the world.

He praised the Republican party for their "antitrust stance"?

Is he in the same timeline as I am?

Well, that's just lovely. I don't know how they expect to pull off $4.5 trillion dollars in tax cuts without a) severely gutting Medicare/Medicaid, b) adding trillions to our deficit, or c) both.

The next few months are going to have my anxiety levels at their peak as we start to see the effects of everything. Much of what Trump wants done has been held back by the courts because it is Congress with the "power of the purse" that dictates what money is spent where. With this, that opens the floodgates.

I kept the same username as there, just to keep things sort of similar for regulars who recognize each other.

Zelenskyy would be best off opening a golf course there. Then maybe Trump would visit, as long as he is promised that he would win the very first (and only) Ukranian Open.

If he wanted to increase the chances of a visit from "maybe" to "assuredly", he would have a full buffet catered by McDonald's.

Trump is dumb, but not so dumb that he doesn't know exactly what he's doing. He just doesn't care about consequences because he's neither faced them ever in his life, nor does he intend to face them in the future.

I don't think people have an issue with the reasoning. The problem is that this is the 3rd or 4th time in, what, 5 weeks, that Trump has threatened tariffs? And we've seen the damage that is flooding to the markets.

As an example, we don't have tariffs on wood right now, but because of the constant back and forth on it, suppliers have just gone ahead and kept their prices high to reflect the uncertainty of future sales. A 2x4, 10', has nearly doubled since the beginning of February until now, even though tariffs on wood imports never officially happened. Just the constant threats are fucking things up.

We do. We just don't harp about it or make it a part of our public persona. We don't advertise it on our cars, clothing, or houses. And honestly? That's for the best. A Democrat with a weapon is absolutely going to be seen as an enemy of the state in a short time. Best we continue to stay low.
