@BobbyBorkIII in my lifetime (i guess i'm old) they were hippies first, then maga, then resistlibs.

Within my adult lifetime, boomers have gone from being seen as the backbone of conservatism, MAGA, and the Republican Party to being extremely lib-coded. How and when did this happen?

@DreamLeaf5 so much food woo nowadays is basically "i want to eat mcdonalds every day but also i don't want to die at 45. let me convince myself that that's possible."

@CentristMadness *looking at an unopened styrafoam box in a nondescript plastic bag* "THIS LOOKS SO UNAPPETIZING"
English
The Republican Party is evil, a despicably racist institution comparable to the KKK

I tried Somali food to see if it was as bad as Jacob Frey made it look…

@ChrisHeddles @StatisticUrban ah yes the great depression, well known for being a time when people had a lot of disposible income for more expensive clothes.
English
@StatisticUrban It's not (just) because clothes got cheaper. It's mostly that clothing expenditure is flexible and people have less money left over after inflexible expenses like housing and energy.

@SteAndKel @nikicaga "universal" and yet i haven't seen these symbols on another planet, let alone in another galaxy.

Look at this nonsense- NO - they are gingerbread men!!!

@MatthewJBar @AndyMasley "Taxes are socialism" seriously?
English
@AndyMasley I don't think it's very different. Taxation is a way for the public to collectively own a share of income from the means of production. Welfare states depend on tax revenue whose allocation is determined by collective decision-making procedures. This is pretty socialist.
English
I think a welfare state is very different from collective ownership of the means of production

@irregulargrapes I don’t know why you would need to have a cell phone number for your therapist in the first place

You often have to basically guess what conservatives are even mad about

@nikicaga Have you lost all mental faculties?
A hip replacement traditionally it is common sense to rest and not perform any strenuous activates. To produce such a thing is the epitome of stupidity.
Had a heart transplant? Here is how to take cocaine responsibly! Feckin morons.

@Michael_AW77 @Tim_Walz i was like "why would you get mad about a major politician supporting your rights" then i saw that you're a transphobe in your bio so ok then.
English
@trashbag_a @AriDrennen now we're calling providing health care to your own kids "medicalizing children." ok then.
English
@AriDrennen Perhaps. But Dems need to heed the message of the '24 election: trans is a losing issue, especially boys/men in girls/women's sports and spaces, and medicalizing children.
English
THE MAJORITY of money spent by Winsome Earle-Sears and outside groups in Virginia went to anti-trans ads. The GOP needs a new playbook after tonight. Voters are tired of this song.
English
I wouldn’t hold it against someone if they don’t want to congratulate a person who spoke derogatorily about them in the past.
The far left don’t want to admit that their attacks against so-called mainstream Dems is the reason these Dems are wary about them.

I’ve seen NY electeds dunking on Mayo Pete for this as he deserves. But in NY, everyone realizes our public schools are the most segregated in the US. No one is under illusions of integration here. They simply choose not to do what’s needed to integrate them. That has to change.
English
@VioletFlame23 i remember when bernie once said that denmark is a socialist country and some danish official had to put out a statement like "Um, no, we're capitalist, we were on your side of the Cold War..."
English
I hate when people say "Bernie would be a centrist in Europe" or "establishment Dems would be center-right in Europe", it's so obviously untrue
It's a remnant of 00s era anti-Bush rhetoric that stuck around for way too long because most Americans don't follow European politics
Everything Price Sufferer (but especially eggs)@agraybee
I remember there were these observers from the Swedish social democrats at the 2020 Iowa caucus, and someone asked them if Bernie would be a centrist in their country. They said Bernie would only appeal to college students and aging Marxists, they liked Pete and Klobuchar.

@magi_jay so many people in the responses here seem to think that this is about welch being "mean" and not thoroughly homophobic.

Donald Trump's re-election was not, in fact, permission structure for us all to become more horrible.

Jennifer Welch on JD Vance: “We cannot lose our democracy to these fucking dorks. JD Vance is a failed drag queen. He goes off to Peter Thiel’s gay boot camp and he comes out like a sociopathic queer eyed freak show. He’d be so much cooler if he’d just come out.”

@ArmandDoma i'm thinking about the at least 9% of the population that wants police officers but no prisons.
English
“abolish the police” is less popular than gonorrhea so I’m so glad we spent several years declaring anyone who disagreed with it to be a Klan member 🙃
English
@blkdane84 @TerryWatkinsJr1 an acquaintance who is a white leftist literally stated that outright in the 2016 election - "Sure Trump's ties to white supremacy are worrying to some people but the real goal should be tearing down capitalism." He thought trump was anti-cap.
English
@TerryWatkinsJr1 It’s also a clear indicator that leftists, specifically white leftists are comfortable with white supremacy because it doesn’t affect them personally. Very telling 🧐

Bernie Sanders response epitomizes his rank narcissism and exactly everything Hilary Clinton warned us about.
He will promote ANYONE who kisses his ring and markets policy as he sees fit. He doesnt care if you're a dubious mercenary with a nazi tattoo and racist comments.
English
it's wild that platner's defenders on this site are like "He might be a secret nazi, but at least he's not a fa***t."
