I made the 2021 to get off the election. I feel pretty good about turning the page but I imagine its going to be mostly the same stuff again.
Yeah, but Biden telling facebook who to censor certainly is a violation of the first amendment!Saw this today and it took a minute or two to process it but it turns out to be pretty clever and funny. And true.
Since its a tweet you have to read it from bottom to top to understand the context.

I loathe him so much. He is a disgrace.normally I wouldn't bother to post this. but someone here seems to think Rand Paul is a "good". While I believe he is "bad"
so just in case more evidence is needed to support my oppinion.
Rand Paul Seen on Video Telling Students 'Misinformation Works'
"I would sometimes spread misinformation," the GOP senator told medical school students in 2013. "This is a great tactic ... misinformation works."www.newsweek.com
The context is important. and Rand offers a defense.
That was certainly immoral of him, but hardly the damning evidence that completely discredits him once and for all.normally I wouldn't bother to post this. but someone here seems to think Rand Paul is a "good". While I believe he is "bad"
so just in case more evidence is needed to support my oppinion.

Rand Paul 2024!!!I loathe him so much. He is a disgrace.
I really hope Biden loses, I get that Trump's bad and all, but Joe's got to go! I would actually prefer it if we could have someone other than Trump or Biden win the 2024 election, someone like Rand Paul, or Bernie Sanders, or better yet Vermin Supreme. I would totally vote for Vermin Supreme.Trump seems to be wielding great influence in the Republican party still, and it seems like candidates who refuse to kiss his ring and accept his lies about the election don't get his support in Republican primaries, which means they are more likely to lose. We will get the big test of this theory over the coming months, but it seems to be true. If Trump wins in 2024, he could be more powerful this time due to his constant efforts to fill the party with his lackeys and the fact that the congress might tilt more his way by 2024 than last time.
The Republican party is worsening, democracy is weakening, and the US is increasingly in danger of falling more and more into tribalism.
And neither tribe will moderate and seek sensible centrist ground, still too much focus on voting rights and too little on the danger of Trump for the Democrats.
It's fairly worrying, even from the outside.
Biden might not beat Trump if he goes in as an unpopular candidate. Will Biden stands aside if polls show him to have a low approval rating and be facing defeat against Trump? I´m not convinced he would.
Have you ever asked any of them why they don't want to get vaccinated? The thing about American partisans today is that they never try to understand why people disagree with them, they just assume that they're stupid, or victims of Russian disinformation.I think it was Mark Twain who said something like imagine how stupid the Average American is. Just by the definition of average, that means the half of all Americans are stupider.
Which is the only way I can explain the anti -vax movement. Latest stats are that the unvaccinated are 97 more likely to die of covid.
It's reassuring to me too, I'm so glad to see that my fellow Canadians still value liberty. And I'm thankful to the American people for showing solidarity with us.Some what reassuring in a weird way is that it's going on in other countries too. This truck thing in Canada blows my mind. However it wouldn't surprise me if a bunch of Americans are involved.
I take it you haven't seen this video of the coppers letting the protesters in?It also blows my mind that there are so many Trumpists. And the the RNC is calling the Jan 6 insurrection "legitimate political discourse." We all saw it on TV. and that was not "discourse".
I fear for the future too, to many people have no regard for personal liberty.It's stuff like that that makes me really fear for the future.
Nah, it's not a good guy bad guy situation, both sides suck equally.But trying to find something hopeful. By definition, half the people are smarter than the average American. How much longer before reason gets in the way of their beliefs. How far can their credulity stretch. It must be reaching a breaking point.
The RNC is also turning on its own. one guy likened it to a circular firing squad.
In a lot of super hero stories the bad guys form an alliance. they are more powerful than the good guys. but then they turn on their own. and the good guys unify on a common goal (enemy) and triumph.
Perhaps the lefts best hope is that the right is too stupid (or greedy or corrupt) to succeed.
