      Classic “without religion, people would rape all they want” energy. We’re being dragged down by a vocal subset of humans that are literally broken in their brains.

        IMHO it’s a mental illness. “Without religion, people would rape all they want” is a great quote, because most of these people are projecting. They actually would go around raping all they wanted (and with great enthusiasm) if there wasn’t some authority to prevent them, because that’s who they are. They cannot comprehend people who voluntarily wouldn’t rape people even when they could, because they can’t put themselves into the head of other people.

        It’s ezpz for me. Without religion I’ll just kill myself. I’ve been comfortable not existing before I was born, I guess I just don’t exist and be fine ya know? But it’s that darn karma, I don’t want to fuck up my reincarnation cycle and be born again as a worm inside Trump’s intestine ya know?

    “You liberals just want free stuff” says the party whose president just accepted a free 300 million dollar airplane.

    If Democrats didn’t rig their primaries we’d have just had eight years of President Sanders, and the world would be a whole lot better for it.

    I don’t understand how they can focus on LIBERALS wanting free stuff, while totally ignoring that all Republicans/MAGAs want are more tax breaks and loopholes.

    If we’re going to give the money away anyway, I’d rather give it to people who need it, than people who already have more than they, or their descendants, will ever need.

    “You just want free stuff” is just code for “I want all of your stuff in addition to my stuff. Stop stealing your stuff from me!”

    Ah, very clever twist on the famous Thatcher quote

    There is no such thing as society.

    There are individual men and women

    and there is the thunderdome

    My SO had started using the line “taxes for schools are going up and we don’t have kids in school anymore so we should move”. Gets my BP up everytime.

    This is the way rational people think. However. You have the “American dream” to contend with. The dream is NOT 3 kids and a house in the suburbs. The American dream is, and always has been, the desire to collect enough wealth that the rules no longer apply.

    This is why we have trump. This is why the republicans wave American flags and condone corruption. Half of the American population either is or fantasizes about the possibility of being untouchable. It’s fascism, yes, but it’s far deeper than that. The American dream is to live beyond governance; to have “fuck you” money.

    Trump isn’t the cancer. Trump is the tumor. The cancer is the pursuit of limitless success.

    You think anyone who legitimately regurgitates that phrase actually spends time thinking about what it actually means?
