Women living in a country with no paid maternity leave requirements and almost zero child care assistance where daycare often costs $2K+ per month per kid when Donny Dipshit floats five grand as an incentive for them to start pumping out babies:

If I criticize Democrats and liberals a lot more than MAGAs and the GOP, it's because I think there's some shred of humanity in them worth saving, whereas Republicans are just fucking flat-out deranged evil Nazis that deserve to be thrown into the sun, and that's all I really have to say about them.

First they came for brown people that lived far away, tossing then in black site torture camps w/out due process, bombing them at weddings & blowing up their hospitals, and I said "That's bad because a Republican is doing it" but then a Democrat took over and did the same things and I realized /1

If the Democrats ever get power back, kinda worried they're just going to keep tossing people in overseas torture gulag concentration camps w/out due process and I'm gonna get yelled at by liberals for saying that's bad, actually, just like it was when Republicans did it.

Getting ready to watch season 2 of the Last of Us:

Waking up in the morning when you're forty like:

I guess it's not surprising that the Israeli military executed 15 paramedics and rescue workers in Palestine but if you do a Google news search about Israel there isn't one single result showing an article about that.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

Me as a teenager in high school, working 25 hours a week so my family could afford electricity and groceries, listening to Sheryl Crow sing "It's not getting what you want, it's wanting what you've got!":

Every article about Val Kilmer dying referring to him first and foremost as the star of Batman Forever as if there wasn't his most forgettable role in what was overall a stunning career.

I think what depresses me more than anything is that even if there are more or less legit elections in 2026/2028 and even if we get MAGA out of power, 2024 proved that no matter how fucking insane and terrible the GOP becomes, centrist voters will keep giving them power once every 4-8 years.

The absolute state of the "opposition" Democrat party: the first ever trans person in Congress cautioning that we shouldn't be too loud about treating trans people like human beings because this might alienate transphobes that don't want them to exist.

Spies in China and Russia like "I went to espionage school for 4 years, I spent a decade mastering clandestine operations, infiltration and social engineering, and all I needed to do was sit back and wait to get accidentally added to a group chat??"

"Friendly neighborhood LGBTQ-positive sex toy shop out here literally saving lives" is the kind of Minneapolis headline you fucking love to see.

The Ulvade Police Department should give Chuck Schumer an honorary badge.

Politics hasn't been this simple in a long time: do you think it's good for one man to exercise unchecked, arbitrary power or not. Those are the two available ideologies right now

Democratic leadership strategy be like "I'm sure if we roll over and give the Republicans everything they want, they will eventually realize they have gone too far."

Spending basically any time scrolling through the news feed in 2025 like:

When someone gives you a Washington honeycrisp instead of a Minnesota honeycrisp:

Fuck off, Amy. Frey is a piece of shit that sells out marginalized groups to serve corporate interests and licks MPD boot.

Blue Apron recipes be like: "Add carrots to pan for 10 seconds or until browned and softened"

Liberals who put massive amounts of time and energy into targeting Palestinian protestors and cheering as they were brutalized, arrested and expelled watching permanent resident Mahmoud Khalil face deportation for protesting: "Oh no! How did things get this far??"

My mom was so earnestly asking how MAGAs could sit there while Trump did things that fucked them over too and love Trump even more for it and I'm trying to explain to her that these people have melted their fucking brains and aren't living in the same reality as everyone else.

Me watching the Democratic Party react to the Christo-fascist constitutional crisis that's disintegrating democracy and the entire American government infrastructure:

Getting so fucking viscerally disgusted watching Democrat "resistance" that I'm starting to think we should change our national anthem to "No Children" by the Mountain Goats.

If there's a better encapsulation of the resistance offered by Democrats to the Christo-fascist coup obliterating our democracy than Gavin Newsom having a nice chat with sentient puddle of scum Charlie Kirk about how great transphobia is, I haven't found it yet.

"Trump is going to imprison Democrats" I don't think he will. They're clearly not a threat. I think it's more amusing for him to watch these spineless milquetoast Yakety Sax MFers step on rakes and shit their pants while they scream at each other for being too rude w/ their performative opposition.

Awesome that basically the entire strategy of the "opposition" party in America is desperately brainstorming ways to be more racist and transphobic and yelling at anyone actually opposing Trump for being rude.
