The idea of a man revoking intrusive thoughts instead of simply embracing them is just straight out repulsive!
The price of eggs is the go-to example, but the real matter is cost of living in general. People are being squeezed and nothing is being done about it other than token gestures at best. Token gestures are also what's on offer for human rights and dignity.
We knew this about Americans though. It's why Walmart is able to kill every mom and pop store in a town just by moving in. People are very susceptible to economic pressure.
Making economic pressure less of a big deal is extremely important, and why the elites will never do it without a fight.
That's why I'm not really against Canada's PM Justin Trudeau waiving federal sales tax on beer, restaurant food and takeout, kids' clothes and toys for two months. Even if business reports say it was a waste of a billion dollars of missed tax revenue, the psychological effect on Canadians, the feeling that we can afford stuff for a bit, will hopefully help keep us from making stupid American decisions and avoid electing the Conservatives.
That's actually a really smart way for him to do it.
From one of my brother's friend, he said, and I quote: "It's Biden's fault for the egg prices for being high because he told all farms to kill half the chickens so Trump could take the blame once he got in office and prices rised. That's why chicken meat is low."
I wish I could make it up. Anyway I'm going to invent something to clog my ears and eyes for the next 4 years
Pull the wool out of your eyes. Getting complacent now only helps them.

IDK, I have seen a lot more brown eggs over the past few years... Might be something there.

There's definitely a peace of mind benefit to being vegan right now. Eggs could cost an arm and a leg and it wouldn't dent my quality of life in the slightest. Add to that living far away from US makes it a moot point anyway ...for now.

Trump is trash, and so is this shit.
And the people did covetith the land of the green. And so they therefore did proclaim that they it should be givith unto them.
But see that the people who coveted were henceforth shamed for their desires. For what they desired was not theirs to desire.
So much of the last 10 or so years, if you told someone without any context seems an unbelievable horribly written story, "utterly ridiculous and unbelievable, learn to write something better" they'ed tell you. Because what you've posted is what's happend and wven living through it, it sounds ridiculously impossible
And so goes the saying, “truth is stranger than fiction.”
The “lo” is how you know it's a bible quote fs
Human rights and dignity weren't on the ballot, though.
California had a prop to end prison labor. They rejected it.
Because leftist people not only refused to vote to prevent a fascist from taking the executive branch, they also refused to engage in anything down ballot, completely rolling over for the far-Right.
Again.
Like they have consistently done my whole life.
Of course the government doesn't reflect anything left of center. Virtually none of us engage in elecroral politics, causing things to get continuously worse (but people are totally going to revolt any time now and usher in a new era of worker rule, despite a complete lack of extant evidence.)
It is pretty weird that there seems to be a view that revolution, general strikes, assassination of corrupt leaders etc. are somehow easier than just voting for the better option in each election.
I suspect it's a mix of abstract idealism over reality-on-the-ground, performative leftism, and (dons tinfoil hat) concerted efforts by authoritarians to sabotage any leftward motion ("interesting" how accelerationism aligns perfectly with authoritarian wishlists).
They pretty clearly were. Choosing to ignore secondary effects of choices, or being willing to use suffering of vulnerable groups as a means to your end doesn't change that.
We got to choose who we would protest against. We chose poorly.
Maybe but you had 10/10 denial of rights versus like 5/10
The choice was still obvious.
Sure seems like it is if they removed all mention of trans folks from stonewall...
