    Don’t worry, the right-wing news bubble will get them riled up into saying “YES! YES! YEEEEES!” for all of that soon enough.

      “Will”? We got Sen. Fetterman the other say saying that we should be thinking about Greenland like we do the Louisiana Purchase.

      The Orange Turd isn’t even in office and everyone in DC is already lost their goddamn mind.

      news bubble thank you for that. The problem with modern society is that no one checks the news media of opposing viewpoints, comparing them and building their own conclusions.

        I would argue for the importance of highly coordinated news monopolies in this. Many people with minimal civics education think they’re getting a wide variety of news sources instead of the same three regurgitated from the same oligarchs.

        I WISH I could get away from Right Wing “news.” If I could ignore their garbage viewpoint, it would be great.

        But the reality is one side is much louder than the other.

        it’s a sad but understandable pattern im seeing too

        far too many “surprised pikachu jpg” responses in comments sections. when this is a really valuable opportunity to talk about how we can communicate how the republican party has failed its constituents, we are relapsing to just “you are dumb for not predicting this.”

        not exactly sure how to communicate the better course of action but im trying.
