      Okay this is not really that relevant here…but my father who works for the government in one of those everyone is probably getting fired soon but who knows… Anyway I was talking on the phone with him and he said “I’m worried about my job I don’t know what I would do … but I’m glad they are getting rid of all that waste in the government spending”

        That they think the waste is people’s jobs and not the billions we pour into corporations is equally frustrating and mind-boggling. I stopped talking to my parents because I just can’t handle these kinds of conversations. They reek of dishonesty.

        people would rather be broke, jobless, the opposite of free, and be regarded as stupid–rather than simply admit they made a major life-wrecking mistake

        tell your dad that i, for one, hope he enjoys his suffering

          You know, you’re no better… You shouldn’t want people to suffer… That’s how we got here… Instead of boosting people up and encouraging people to be better… People like you wish people would suffer…

          Maybe you will take some time to reflect and be a better person…

          Edit: clearly we are all doomed to be assholes and divided… Maybe instead one day you will see who the real enemy is…

              And just because you didn’t vote for a racist sexist committed felon, means you’re better?

              Because your party is so great and wants you to prosper? Or is it just controlled by corporations and billionaires with the same agendas?

                Yes.

                Because your party is so great and wants you to prosper? Or is it just controlled by corporations and billionaires with the same agendas?

                Don’t know when I said anything about parties or what I think of Democrats. Pretty sure that’s an entirely different topic. (I think they’re the controlled opposition party, for what it’s worth.)
