politics

Worse than showing, that treasonous motherfucker sold some to the Saudis.

You get an upvote from me, because unfortunately, we live in a timeline where this is more likely than not.

God dammit.

Yeah. I was worried right after it happened, like this is gonna be when everything changes. As far as I can tell, no one cares outside the GOP outrage machine. People are still wanting to vote for Trump which isn’t ideal, but it’s wild to me how little people give a shit.

Hey I live in one of those states.

The people in the city have learned to shut the fuck up about politics. Everyone has already had that conversation a thousand times. They know how it will go, and we've distanced ourselves from the people who won't shut the fuck up about it.

If it were a movie, it would be the quiet tense part where everybody looks at each other but no one says anything for fear of setting off the bomb in the middle of the room.

You know who the people are and what will set them off, you give them space. And you watch them for mood swings. If ol Carmen comes in to work like a bat outta hell, you give him a LOT of space.

We're talking about it here, but we're doing it with people we know, over text, or in person.

I had a very similar experience, I was driving across Nebraska and stopped in North Platte for the night before I found out what happened. Nobody was talking about it at the restaurant I ate at, brewery I stopped at, and the next morning the little dinner I ate at full of old man locals. I overheard talk of farming, expense of running their farms and businesses, but not one person mentioned Trump or the attempt. I don't know what's going on but it felt like I was on a different plane of existence from where the attempt happened.

My guess is the second it was established it came from one of their own they just shrugged it off as one lone crazy.

Same. I was eating at the Cowboy Cafe in Dubois, Wy. between Mason and Landen, Wy. (good food) before heading to the Tetons when it happened. News was talking about it and no one cared. Literally. I was rather shocked at the non-response.

Hopefully people are just tired of the chaos and drama that Pedo Donald constantly brings with him. It’s been nearly a decade of putting up with him.

I swear from the bits I saw from the RNC that the magabrained are rubbing one out over their Allah supposedly saving donnie from a bullet.

It's good to hear that even the base may not care all that much (with the exception of the terminally online types).

Americans are so accustomed to freedom, comfort and luxury, they take all of it for granted. Of course everyone is sticking their head in the sand: if you don't have a sense of what you stand to lose, of course you aren't going to voluntarily take on a little bit of discomfort to try to stop it.

Hard times make hard men, hard men make soft times, soft times make soft men, soft men make hard times <- we are right here.
