The religious wacko part or the voting? The former has been going on for a loooong time, the latter I think is a combo of voter apathy, intense propaganda and the result of decades of planning by conservatives who hated having to abandon Deutchsland for Argentina

American guy here and I feel similarly. Things are going to get bad for anyone not toeing the party line here soon, but the grunts in the mud just got the worst possible news and that has to be demoralizing.

They housed plenty of nukes for the USSR but can’t build their own (yet).Even if they did it becomes a MAD standoff between them, Moscow and a Moscow friendly USA, which is fucking mind blowing after so many years of the Cold War. I think they’d be better off looking to the EU for jets and artillery to hold the line, I really fear that we’ll start to ship armor to the conscript side not the volunteers.

Even then, nukes from where? If we give them any then we will absolutely retain control failsafe codes and the orange administration could just not let the warheads arm.

Good, sláinte

Mine is: My guy…Pedro hiking through the desert with nothing but half a jug of water and the clothes on his back is not the enemy. The suits shipping labor overseas and still employing undocumented immigrant labor here create this situation and hurting some poor immigrant/refugee seeker doesn’t change anything about that. Punch up not down

Or are you a sniveling bitch

Maybe if it was covered in ketchup like a well done steak

Before Last Week Tonight, John Oliver was on a podcast called The Bugle and I can remember him bemoaning how long US elections were compared to Britain. I wonder how he feels about covering our bullshit all the time now, I imagine similar to the exhaustion that led Jon to mostly retire

Thanks for alerting me to the typo. Also I’m posting all this from Voyager, which is great. Keep up the good work 👍

Autocorrect got me, not Lamar. Levar Burton hosted a show called Reading Rainbow and also played chief engineer Geordie La Forge in Star Trek

Pretty sure Geordie and Levar from RR agree on this.

These are the same chucklefucks who still do purity rings and dad-daughter “promise” dances, yeah the attitude of women as property still exists in large swaths of this country

As it was the same on Reddit last cycle

Well, the previous govt was pretty shitty leftovers from the Soviet era. Zelenskyy has turned out to not only talk the talk for a tv show but walk the walk and actually lead the country. He knows how fucked this is and is trying to do damage control in hope of keeping the ammo coming. Like most things conservative every accusation is a confession, when Putin talked about de-nazifying Ukraine, they had already done so through the democratic process and put the funny guy in charge.

With the rerun of this administration though, who knows which side we’ll send aid to and there may be someone in Kyiv loyal to Moscow again. I really fucking hope not but this result will likely do more to help the orcs than our new allies.

I was about to say it would just work like the old ski ramp decks but the fans have to be pushing air down sooo

E) Although, since it’s all Stark tech, there’s no reason it can’t have thrusters that activate when that fan is switched directions to give the jets a boost of lift like a bird riding a thermal. That could make for a pretty badass takeoff scene

They’re trading rice for NK troops, this shitbag is going to offer them Javelins and Abrams at half price if they have gold paint. I legitimately believe this election will cost many Ukrainian lives

I’m straight and white, and I am also terrified for my queer friends and family. I figured Israel was always a lost cause but Ukraine is going to be so fucking stupid and painful when they get starved after we offered support.

If you didn’t vote or voted for this piece of shit, FUCK YOU

Fuck conservatives always and forever.

The only hope I have is that the Bell riots start soon and we can force change, but damn every time it seems we’ve hit bottom they break out a shiny new drill bit

Goddamnit. Dear world, some of us tried but there’s too much bullshit. This is extremely depressing and I fear for all my friends who aren’t straight white “regular” people.

What the fuck is wrong with people

I don’t think it was ever a true democracy, we’re just cycling back to the white male landowner as the only vote being counted as the norm. Another rally at MSG, all the racist rhetoric, all the dog whistles are just regular shouting now
