The goddamn meatballs are my kryptonite.

Thanks for drawing me back in towards empathy. I totally agree with everything you've said.

Nobody does a damn thing about it? Way to pre-emptively comply you spineless cuck.

Facts. But the other side of that is the massively unequal tax burden. Tax corporations and wealthy proportionally to their reported net worth and use that to fund substantial public services (healthcare, transportation, education, childcare) so that rising wages aren't just funneled back into the same pockets.

You're wrong about the founders not understanding identity politics; I recommend you read through George Washington's farewell address. It's is lengthy, for sure, but it explicitly warns Americans about the danger of unchecked fealty to a political party and the promulgation of a politics of identity versus national interest and unity.

The founders knew our democracy would be repeatedly tested by enemies foreign and domestic (almost like they included that in the Constitution for a reason) they simply hoped we would be educated enough to see when we're being manipulated, and faithful enough to the country's ideals to defend it. We'll see if they're right.

I hope you're practicing rolling on your belly and wagging your tail for fascists.

What a useless, whiny attitude to have.

Oh no, they definitely hate themselves too.

Sounds like a lot of unnecessarily obtuse wording to just say "I made a shit joke".

Who don't they hate?

I'd also add that for young men specifically, there is an onslaught of propaganda manipulating their sexual frustration and insecurities into hatred towards women. Trump offered these men a symbolic victory against a world in which they feel they will never succeed financially or sexually. Young men from immigrant families are particularly susceptible to this, since their families are generally more socially conservative and adhere to stricter gender stereotypes.

Race isn't real big guy; you shouldnt apologize for being born into a particular caste of an artificial construct.

 

I took this photo while out with my dog for an afternoon walk. A storm had blown in earlier that day and all the tree branches were covered in ice and glistening from the sun. I don't know if this photo captures how surreal that moment felt but I'm still proud of it and happy with how it turned out.

 

best photo I got from a day trip out to the falls. First time going; I was mesmerized by the hue and clarity of the water, especially with so much ice.
