Who am I gonna follow to make money on the stock market?!?!

As a former evangelical fundamentalist, I can confirm. It’s a common belief. That’s what I believed once upon a time. Fifteen years ago I would have argued with you about it.

Oh for heaven’s sake they would say the same thing about you! Cult members do not think rationally. I know this from personal experience. If the message comes outside approved channels, it is disinformation at best and at worst, the work of Satan. Would you go to OANN for a different viewpoint? I’m beating this horse because I think it’s important to keep straight who the real enemy is: the elite class who is manipulating media and money to keep you and your MAGA neighbors under their heel. Your neighbor may lick the boot while you spit on it, but it’s crushing you both. The only way to turn the tables is to understand why your neighbor licks the boot and find common ground so you can work together to untie the laces and trip the enemy.

Have you watched their propaganda networks? They believe the same things about the left. They think they saved the republic from monsters. They think ICE is deporting murderers. They think antifa is a literal terrorist organization. They think 47 stopped 8 wars. They think these things because they’re in an information silo. No wait, they’re in a CULT. Some people do know that what they’re doing is evil. Most likely those at the top. But the rank-and-file MAGA are brainwashed cult members.

I’m poor in the USA with a T1D kid. I would really like to go full time in my own business so I can pull my family out of poverty, but it’s the insulin/insurance that holds me back. I don’t want to jump onto ACA insurance when it’s absolutely in the crosshairs of the GOP. Seeing stories like this gives me hope.

Many foolish trees voted for the logging company because they promised to chop down the trees the foolish ones didn’t like. They believed the message from the logging company that the forest was unhealthy not because of unregulated logging, but because of the trees that looked a little different.

Bros flew 20+ hours from South Korea for important briefing: “no fatties on the frontlines.” It would be unreasonable to not be pissed.

No, it was/is supply shock. Two giant global events, pandemic and Russian invasion, disrupted global trade and screwed up supply chains. Things were normalizing until Dumbass took the reins and decided to fuck up the supply chain on purpose with shitty trade policy.

What the hell does George Soros even pay you for, Jackie?! How are we supposed to organize non-acts of passive aggression without lavender mint?!

Ok serious question and this is by no means an equivalency, but did the Biden admin classify the Proud Boys and Oathkeepers as terrorist organizations? I can’t remember.

Ugh I guess we’ll have to change the name at the next meeting. Dave, you’re working on the agenda, right? Put “name change” at the front. Sandy go ahead and reach out to marketing and have them bring some fresh logo mock-ups. Jackie, you’re on kombucha duty this week.

I agree. I also hope there’s someone to actually root for.

I don’t like him, but this is funny.

This is awesome. Do it. What’s gonna happen when the contrails don’t disappear? Who are they gonna arrest? Gonna have to stock up on popcorn because the theatre of the ignorant is about to get really interesting. Finally a piece of legislation I can get excited about.

Ah yes, the “pro-free speech” team.

And openly accepting a winged bribe from Qatar. It boggles my mind that the better world leaders, including a few US politicians, don’t understand how he operates and get in on the game. Give him money and flattery and he’ll do whatever the hell you want.

I presented a question in good faith. I did not state my personal position. I’m not sure what itch you’re trying to scratch by behaving this way, but I hope you find it someday.

Do you accept a position that states Hamas commits evil and Israel commits evil? Both must stop atrocities?

I have yet to see any pro-Hamas supporters, but maybe I don’t get around enough. In your view, is it possible to be pro-Palestine and anti-Hamas?

Plutocracy: Destroy Capitol? Ok. Destroy Capital? Not on my watch!

MAGA took over the GOP in just a few years. I think the same thing can happen to the DNC. Just need a little propaganda, some charismatic leadership, and people willing to slander the establishment.
