Are you arguing about the use of “resurfaced” instead of the blatant hypocrisy?

It was buried under the tsunami of bullshit trump, the republicans, ICE, and all the rest have been generating.

Yes, “resurfaced” is correct terminology and usage in this case.

No doubt.

What will democrats do to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory regarding this?

It’s almost self-reinforcing poverty. You can have one person stay home and take care of the kid(s) and lose the income, or you can give what amounts to an entire year’s wages to the daycare to take care of the kid while you work full time. Some may be able to squeeze some part time work in if they’re lucky enough to find a job that doesn’t try to make them work shifts outside of daycare hours. Some day care is raising your kids for you as a bonus, they start off life without you around much.

Only a matter of time before the combined stupidity of AI and human laziness result in someone just believing that nuclear war can be winnable.

Yeah, this isn’t cheap at all. It’s either a huge chunk of money up front or you have to uproot and move your family only taking what you can afford to the next country, a huge upheaval, with probably no support network at all where you move to. Ans that’s just residency, you’re not a citizen until you’ve put in years and meet whatever citizenship requirements.

The flood of troll farm misinformation and lies by both China and Russia as well as right wing ownership of MSM all aided in trump’s rise. Yeah, our shitty electoral college that is DEI for mostly empty States handed trump the win.

You might be one of the lucky ones that got it and had zero effects. My kid got it and my other half took a test too to see if she had it. She did, and had absolutely no symptoms other than feeling a little tired. Hard to believe after so many years nobody in your family got it, but I suppose it’s possible.

They’ll just blame the protesters/liberals. “Look what you made him do!”

Maybe AI/LLM being programmed by self-serving interests has bled through to the “thought” process. Do unto others before they do unto you.

Easily won war = decade-long conflict.

You are absolutely right.

Or maybe people that have unhealthy lifestyles that generally might include more foods or living conditions more susceptible to microplastics intake. IOW more plastics packaged foods and drinks, living near roadways where tire particles and exhaust both add to poor health and stress, etc.

Thank you for your service. Critical personnel like power and other utilities, medical and the rest that keep the lights on and save lives are undervalued.

Too bougie of me.

Ignorant parents unwilling to monitor their kids or utilize already available tools to aid in preventing access to inappropriate material want devs to do so for them, ushering in a surveillance state.

Honestly it looks like a lot of fun. People get really into it, maybe even because it’s kinda silly.

Lol, couple letters short there, my friend: “bourgeoisie” 😁

15 years ago such a statement would have been unthinkable. Look where we are now and how fast we’ve gotten there. The repubicans went apeshit over a tan suit, but this? They sit on their hands.

I grew up under Old Conservatism. The one that still kinda made sense. The one you could still discuss issues with. They wanted the same things you did, just how you got them was the difference. I guess I was a Conservative, though I definitely remember having early awareness of some of the issues with it. It took some years and a lot of growing up before all the hypocrisy, racism, shitty economic policy, misogyny and all the rest soaked in. Sort of a convergence of my awareness increasing along with the mask coming off of Republicans. My parents are/were rabid republicans; racist, fearful, stingy in that welfare- and homeless-hating way, fine with the violence against peaceful protests, etc. Nothing dissuades from voting Republican.

Thing is, I could actually still be a republican IF they actually did what they said they stood for. Fiscal conservative, keep government out of people’s personal lives, smaller government, “real” christian values, take care of the small towns and little people, etc. But that’s not who they are. The exact opposite of everything they claim to be. Even now the Democrats are republican-lite and too far Right for me, they just give us bread and circuses arguing over painted sidewalks while losing every important real policy battle that prevents the slide into fascism.
