That’s the dream! 🤣 But it’s not the MIL I need to think about, it’s my wife.

I’m being a little generous with that. I agree that they knew he was a piece of shit, but I think a lot of them thought he’d just hurt the people they look down on and not them.

You could probably make the case that I need to chill, but you seem to be making a few incorrect assumptions. I have no intention of interacting with my mother in law any more than absolutely necessary, and the sole reason she may be coming to visit ever again is because I don’t want to drive a wedge between my wife and her mother. I also don’t hold my wife’s family responsible, but by voting for him last November they all became part of the trump crowd who I collectively blame. No more, no less.

I’m definitely going to listen to that podcast. Thanks!

Pretty much hit the nail on the head there boss. No matter how hard I try I can’t accept the ignorance excuse after what all of us have seen. Earlier this year I said to my mother in law “surely you knew at the time that you were doing the wrong thing?” She denied it. The best approach for me is to be around the MIL as little as possible. My wife knows that. It makes her sad, but she understands.

JFC, this is the first I’m hearing about Harris calling trump a communist. Get your shit together, Kamala. This shit just makes you look as stupid as he is.

Same with any economic system though

Agreed. For years I’ve been saying that without well maintained controls, the end result of capitalism and socialism will look pretty much the same.

Is oligarchy not the logical result of capitalism with inadequate restraint?

Easy - his base is made up of entirely stupid and selfish people who have no firm principles whatsoever. They’ll believe whatever he tells them to as long as they’re still allowed to hurt the people they enjoy hurting.

Change those to:

*Who isn’t rich, doesn’t deserve to eat

Being rich is more important than human life itself *

And you might be closer to some actual republican principles. But of course they’ll toss them and start believing the opposite if they’re told to.

You think republicans have principles??? You lost me there.

Are you the type that loves bathing in gore? Because that’s what will happen immediately if you start chainsawing people up. They throw everything directly back at the user.

I love where your head is at! 🤣

I dunno about that. You can blame it on right wing media brainwashing or whatever else, but I don’t believe that anyone didn’t know that electing trump was going to bring harm to several groups of people. They knew it, and they decided they were ok with it because they thought trump would be good for them personally.

that this won’t go totally sideways

So you haven’t heard about the current US government…

I would have thought his first term was humiliating enough for Americans. Guess it wasn’t.

Haha well played!

I recommend you google creamed corn and make sure it is what you think it is. If that doesn’t clear things up then I have to assume you’re trolling now.

This is the consequence of republicans never having had to face the consequences of their own bullshit.

You’re not being punked dude. Creamed corn is a thing, you don’t strain it, and when you buy a can of it the can is full. This was a swing and a miss.

I move for a bad court thingy!
