Was a nobody. You’re literally reading about it on social media and news sites and having a conversation about it with strangers now.
He was a nobody and was writing things no one was reading.
Okee doke. Flood the zone with constant “what did Trump do now” worked so well in 2016. GRT has been in the news because of Trump since 2016. Look at the vertiginous rise in Ngrams in 2016. It’s just one of the many things he does to keep himself central in the news cycle.
No news is worse than bad news at this point in a presidential campaign. Especially when the “bad news” is the same stuff that didn’t turn around any of his voters in the past.
But why just that one? You’d think they’d replace it. Makes it look purposeful, like they were trying out a new funny font.
It’s cool, that works. He downvoted it, so I guess it served its purpose. 😄
Well. He did lose weight, allegedly from Ozempic and Adderall, but that does seem like a pretty flattering picture. And his thumbs are double jointed/flexible. You can see it all the time when he plays his invisible accordion.
Ok but fr what is going on there
Why are white people so worried about being a minority in the US? Are minorities treated poorly or something?
Wait. Cmon dude. Trump says “fight” and people scream stochastic terrorism, this guy says you’re free to kill Trump if you’re not a coward and you’re like “naw, that’s just poetic license?” Don’t be obtuse.
Hmm… pretty watertight. Like your butthole.
I live in a state with very loose gun laws and a high percentage of gun ownership, and I started learning how to identify where people “print” on their bodies and identifying people concealed carrying. Then I started googling random stickers I would see on cars in front of me at drive thrus or just walking around.
I was honestly shocked at how many people are, or are likely, carrying a pistol. And how many people advertise it with their choice of clothes, brands, bumper stickers, etc. Once you start seeing it, it’s everywhere.
The most obvious ones are the ones that basically buy all the “grey man” clothes. They scream “I’M ARMED, LOOK AT ALL THE ALMOST NORMAL LOOKING, NON-DESCRIPT TACTICAL CLOTHING I’M WEARING.” 🤣
Like sure, dude, you’re just a guy with a beard and an over-curled hat brim that “happens” to like wearing a fanny pack with your cargo shorts.
I was at Target buying bar soap and they sell a “tactical” shower caddy where you can put your manly, camo loofah and your body beating beast bar soap. At Target! I’ll tell you what, a camo loofah ain’t communicating what they think it is lol
My guess is you’re talking to a middle-aged white guy with a white-collar job, probably in something related to IT, web development, or something similar who has parents that are likely doing fine.
Being confused as to why it would seem natural for you to help your family if they need you and you can do it really says a lot about his own “cultural tendencies” and privilege.
Middle, upper-middle, and upper class=wealth flows down.
If you’re poor, and sometimes just not white, wealth flows where it’s needed. Coworkers were very confused why I’m trying to save money to help my parents – who do and have always rented – when they’re too old to work.
Like they literally struggled to wrap their minds around the idea that a) not only can my parents not afford to retire, b) they can’t afford care when they can no longer work, c) they currently take care of my grandma who is in that position right now, d) I don’t, haven’t, and won’t be receiving some sort of windfall in the form of property or money when they die, e) the best off of me and my siblings are who tries to help out financially for the siblings that are having tougher times, not our parents.
They looked at me like I had grown a second head, but I work around almost exclusively upper middle class white people.
Yeah. We know. Great article. Does some AI just churn this drivel out or what.
The assets they have in the United States would not go with them, and they would no longer have access to the US consumer and corporate market. Good luck.
Goldschläger for the win.
Most of Vermont and NH is nothing like this. I’ve lived there, near Brattleboro (which is literally on the border with NH), in the upper northeastern part of the state near NH in the middle of nowhere, and in Montpelier. I drove around VT and NH pretty extensively.
I also had a girlfriend that lived in Hanover, NH so was driving up there a lot; Hanover is admittedly unique in NH. I ski, MTB, hike, 4 wheel, snowmobile, hunt, and fish, so I’ve truly crawled around a large majority of the entirety of both states.
There are extremely rural locations in both states that look like many rural places anywhere in the United States – in fact, much nicer than many of the rural places in the US I’ve been down south and in the upper Midwest. I’ve literally never seen “piles of garbage” in front yards during the thousands of miles I’ve traveled around the states. I have seen trucks and ATVs being worked on in in various stages of disassembly in yards in the backwoods, but that’s how it is in the backwoods. You’re not exactly going to bring it to a mechanic.
That said, there is a very clear difference between NH and VT. While many parts of NH are quite nice, I would agree that there are some parts of NH that mildly fit your description. There are less places like that in VT, but I suppose if you looked hard enough, you’d find them.
But overall, your characterization doesn’t fit either of the states. They’re both beautiful New England states. I intend to move back to Vermont in the next few years because it’s so pleasant.
Where are you living in NH/VT? I find your descriptions completely bizarre.
