I am so embarrassed to say there was a time when I forgot who the second lesser know US Senator was for my State. Now I am donating to State Senate and Governor's races across the country.
Unfortunately,s not what the media wants, Biden was so boring, with his policy & stuff, they want Trump with his pathological lying & threatening their lives. So much more entertaining! JFC
That's why it was such a blessing when Biden was elected. "Thank fuck I don't have to pay attention to what the President is doing Every. Single. Fucking. Minute."
Just like before, he'll go to Oval Office around noon, then prepare for some type of press briefing before " Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV" and I just can't watch another one. He will surpass his 4 years of lies in a year. Oh how depressing to speak of him in terms of years. 🥲
There were no boring times
We just did not live through industrial Rev. civil war
Or other times
Now we are living in civil war/ gilded age: freakin Trump
The mundane, boring and trivial times we sorta had lead to the idle minds that got bored & tuned out politics in favor of watching an orange reality TV host pretend he was a businessman.
I want just enough intrigue, debate, and stakes to keep us all awake so if we survive this, we never repeat it.
It's a question of steak and cholesterol tipping point. Some kind of stroke or coronary. Lord only knows all the drugs he's on... every one of the dementia drugs have stroke as an adverse side effect. When he speaks, even reading from a prompter he sounds like a person with dementia.
I would really really love some boring time John. While this all played out we’ve been trying to manage life for my 2 in laws with Alzheimer’s. So worn out and sad Kamala and Tim aren’t in the WHS 😓
Unfortunately, America is addicted to drama and train wrecks and the “normal” of the Biden administration just didn’t cut it. So they voted back in the circus because they believe it’s entertaining. Hopefully, real life consequences will break the cult mentality.
In my opinion the media wanted Trump to win because he gives them more headlines with all of the outrageous things he says and does. They fund President Biden boring. I'll take boring over Trump.
Came here to say this. But unfortunately for them it got turned around. People got so fed up about msm enabling Trump and his antics that they started bleeding viewership. GOOD! Ppl are relying more on independent media for their news; journalism with nothing to lose. MSM needs the shaking up.
I think all the networks favored Trump and set up Biden to lose. I used to have a lot of respect for NBC's Lester Holt. Then he interviewed Biden and all Holt would talk about is his age, totally ignoring his accomplishments. I lost that respect.
Media normalized a felon, fraud, conman, criminal, rapist, racist, bigot, liar, cheat, traitor, hate monger, moron, buffoon & fascist as a legitimate presidential candidate. Now they report on his presidency as if it’s normal. I will not accept it. Nothing about that regime is normal.
After a brief respite, the economy collapsed, mass shootings, school shootings, political tribalism, runaway capitalism and the rise of American fascism began.
Before Wall Street blew-up, there was a war with Afghanistan and Iraq and "Mission Accomplished", and Karl Rove said, "We decide reality now, and that's just how it will shake out." or words to effect.
The thing is, it's never boring times for some people. The mundane and trivial don't live in racial, social, and economic inequities. What you really want is the privilege to look away. What I want is solidarity. What I want is empathy and community.
I can now understand why my parents and grandparents just wanted to live a nice, stable life after World War II. It looked boring to us Baby Boomers, but now I wish for the same thing.
Tiny home. In nature. Greenhouse/Aviary/4 seasons room with huge outdoor kitchen. All mobile. Self reliant. Lots of books and plants. Gardening. Community. Kinship. Connection.
Not mundane but what we all strive for- peaceful. Fall asleep to the stars.
I miss the mundane...the "analog" years...where cars are not computers on wheels...where we all had flip phones and had to work hard to text...oh those were the days lol
Reality is truly monstrous; just so a minuscule few of the richest amongst us can have everything and complete control they have unleashed hell on mankind.
I’m going to look on the bright side. This is the end of capitalism- and that is a good thing, because it will destroy the planet and end itself along with 6 or 7 billion people. It’s not pretty, it’s not going to be fun, and it may not end well for any of us. Hope, pray and work as best as possible
Make governance slow and boring. Check & balances was never designed to be efficient. It was designed to prevent monarchy, against which we had fought a revolution combating,you know, the sort of concentrations of power that could fit in a rotunda & leave the populace they serve in the cold.
there are chaos in trivial, it is called the distractions news that are trivial that we focus on vs what we should be focusing on.
living in the mundane life is anything but boring. Mundane like being on the beach, playing trivial games, eating dinner with family everyday, working and etc
I used to call my 90 y/o aunt every Sunday. Before hanging up, we'd tell each other "May you have an uneventful week."
She died in 2016.
Within a week, the Republicans nominated their Presidential candidate.
It's all been way too eventful ever since.
This was my first thought when i first saw UHaul's slogan, "Adventure in Moving". Thought: the front u-joint on the driveshaft breaks spectacularly and the driveshaft drops into a pot hole vaulting the truck over the bridge railing. Wee Ohh! An Adventure!
As much as I want to agree, I would rather live through the war and see it end than push it off and have my children fight that pain that i could have prevented
I loved it when politics was a dreadful bore. I voted regularly, but I could sleep at night if I didn't, pre 2016.
Now we probably won't be able to vote ever again without having our elections gerrymandered and purchased.
Please. Please. Please. I just want to wake up in the real America again. The one where we groused about our problems and nagged our politicians. Not this hellish fascist dream. Please, DOJ. SCOTUS. FEDERAL JUDGES. DEMOCRATS. REPUBLICANS.
STOP HIM.
STOP MAGA.
PLEASE.
I was really looking forward to a government with adults and dedicated people in charge. I wanted boring debates, droning arguments about spending bills,etc. instead we got a carnival barker cracking his whip for attention.
No kidding. I hate constantly living through times I know they will study in depth 100 years from now the way we study the time from Ww1 and Ww2 today.

How do we overcome voter suppression?
Kamala should have won
This is the one thing we need to focus on
POC are primarily affected
Anyone? Anyone?
Only further and further into the absurd

Only downhill from here
We need your voice.
Silence will be that much sweeter once we have gotten through this.
We don't do that anymore.
Le sigh
When the biggest “scandal” was a tan suit
Boring, mundane times really ended 9/11/2001

Here we are 😐💀
Then you can have Boring, Mundane, Trivial to your hearts content.
There's Work To Do...

Give me him everyday.
If he can't be as fly as Obama then give me boring Joe.
Anything but Humpty
They want the circus.
They want to turn your house to be a zoo because they don't know how to exist on a planet with people not like them.
My soul pines for civil discourse and equanimity.
The evil is beyond comprehension.
"May you live in interesting times"
Give me snooze-level wonky.

Now I have to care why some rando in Denmark just told this country to fuck off.

Demon king arrives to take over the planet? Dragons come back and raze everything to ash? I'm down for it.
Just please, no more racists and homo/trans/etc.phobes
