If dems could control weather why wouldn’t they use it for the benefit of States they favored, like maybe ending the drought in California or putting out the wildfires there or in the PNW?

The founding fathers got a lot of things right in a broad sense. However, the lack of details really screwed us.

Because democrats value egalitarianism and education. Good education is expensive. The businesspersons that have expended the most effort to offshore our jobs to the serious detriment of working-class America have had some of the most expensive and exclusive educations of all, and they are some of the wealthiest people on the planet… (conservatives fullstop here and ignore the rest: …who are also likely voting conservative). Couple that with the fact that expert (educated) advice and direction is often in direct conflict with the myopic goals and views of the uneducated. Don’t dump shit everywhere (but it’s cheap, easy, and fun to roll coal and pour used motor oil on the ground!), don’t cut down all the trees (but mah lumber is more expensive!), and maybe wear a mask (grandma was gonna die eventually anyways, at least I can bring her Covid from the Applebees take out!)

So it’s really easy for the conservatives to paint education = evil, and then of course they couple that with feel-good bullshit like “common sense” and small-town American wisdom that is completely meaningless but makes the uneducated feel smart or like they have control of their situation.

Probably. Willful ignorance.

With a detour over some dead people.

Because there is a real effort by a government to prevent people millions of people from remembering.

Yep. Hurricane info is available from official sources for free.

However, I can’t help but imagine some tiktok of someone finding themselves trapped on a rooftop crying because their preferred app wouldn’t show some critical info.

I’ll give them a “partly right in spite of themselves” for sure.

I spent some time on Threads. It’s shocking how many people (or trolls) are promoting the belief that all of these disasters are instigated and/or the impact deliberately worsened by Harris. Even though Biden is still president and Harris has no power over any of these issues.

My parents refused to use the self-checkout because “They take people’s jobs.”

They were hardcore republicans perfectly happy to make sure those jobs got paid shit.

Ermagaherd*, why is fuel so expensive?! Stupid dems, I have to feed my 8 foot per gallon brodozer!

*spelling appropriately changed

What a petty little man-child.

The only reason to not make voting day a holiday is because the very people preferring you not vote are losing profits and power don’t want the people worked the hardest to have a say in changing the system.

Unless the day off can only be used on voting day I think people will use it for their own purposes.

All so they can say, “Look how little the Biden administration is doing for the people of Florida!”

Literally putting life and property on the chopping block for their political posturing.

Buying votes.

I’d like to see that without the lens distortion.

I’m sure that’s photoshopped (or AI, whatever), but if it weren’t, gawdamn it’s gonna hurt and break shit on landing.

I gotta wonder where someone works if everyone there is a physiological or mental disaster. I’ve held plenty of jobs and the people that were a wreck stood out, they weren’t the rule. Even now that I’m older, people do take meds, but they’re all “normal” age-related stuff. Blood pressure, whatever.

I really despise the fake images and stories that get taken up and spread. Then they get called out and shown to be fake and people don’t care, they say pretty much what you see here:

I don’t care if it’s fake, it feels real, so I’m going to treat it like it’s real.
