this is my entire life right now

It just sucks all the air out of the room.

We’ve wasted so much time and money fighting these terrible greedy people. Why can’t they use their wealth to help others ? I don’t get it

They don't want to use their wealth to help others bc they don't think "others" deserve help. They believe they got rich because they worked harder than everyone else & if everyone else worked harder they would get rich too. No consideration of life advantages, natural ability, LUCK.
Worthiness

And the new Christians seem to believe they’ve been blessed with wealth for being good people

My husband and I both work for the federal government, and the amount of times in a day we walk into the room where the other one is starting a panicked rant is...many.

Love it. A train wreck.

I have a friend who I talk a lot of politics and our chat is just one of us waking up before the other and looking at the headlines and texting OMFG YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE WHAT THIS C*** HAS DONE NOW, WTAF

My texts with several of my friends are basically a lot of this.

This is my daily life now. I want to break things

I actually have and then I’m really p*ssed!
I wish I could be like some of my friends/family that don’t follow a bit of what’s going on in the world!
Including my hubby!
He’s never voted in his entire life.
He’s oblivious to it all.
Thankfully he’s only home 3 times a year.
Solitude on my farm.🤭😌

Me too, like a sleeper agent hiding in the reaches of my brain waking to trigger words 😑

It's at the point now where a stranger approached me in a parking lot because he saw the Hillary sticker I was too lazy to ever take off my motorbike, and just wanted to vent to somebody about politics because it's all so ridiculous

My husband has always taken the opposing position, when I bring up politics. He's a born contrarian, (it's annoying). Things are so bad now that he just agrees immediately. He has lost the ability to, even academically, see the other side of things. Terrifying.

Holy shit do you know how goddamned hard it is not to talk about modern politics when you're doing live commentary on WW2-era anti-nazi propaganda‽

Its hard not to talk about politics in the middle of a fucking coup.

Saw this, peeped your profile, literally saw nothing but the word 'Ankh Morpork'--

Instant follow.

koboldstyle.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yeah. And then you feel self-conscious about the entitlement of tactfully trying not to talk about it and it’s a whole spiral

Yesterday, read a news article about the zelenskyy visit to the white house and made some quiet exasperated despairing noises and everyone in the room went "no, i do not want to know what trump did now"

pppgrifter.bsky.social•2 days ago

I don’t want it to be like this

ogg921.bsky.social•2 days ago

I don't think many people are happy about it. Maybe the MAGAs are. They are programmed to think whatever happens is a win, no matter how flimsy the rationale.

Rincewind tho, he gets out of every situation. Oh, how I miss Sir Terry and his writing
