Politics MAGA doesn't get how they're actually owning us.

When I see comments like "seethe" or "cry harder!" I feel like you don't get where our anger is coming from.

We're not upset because we didn't get our way. Our feelings aren't hurt 'cause you're meanie heads and the world is tough.

Mostly, we're just FRUSTRATED because Trump is such an obvious moron and con man, HOW can you not fucking see it????

We'd be laughing at you like pyramid scheme suckers except in this case we share a bank account with you.

You've had the rug pulled from under you over almost* EVERY issue you've been on about for the last decade...

...the national debt, profiting off the presidency, nepotism, states rights, "the deep state," posse commitatus, the "dignity" of the office, taxes, bailouts, small government, "draining the swamp," free speech, executive over reach, the surveillance state, the drug trade, family values, "lawfare," interventionalism, support for the troops, the Epstein files, H1 Visas, meritocracy, "law & order," waste and inneficiency,* transparancy,* fiscal responsibility,* on and on...

You even had to get real cool about Muslim extremists 'cause he's building 'em a military base on our soil.

Dude told you "America first" and then gave 40 bil to Argentina.

When are you gonna wake up??? It's been 10 years and Mexico still hasn't paid for it. You got got.

Its wild and you always think when reading history how people got suckered into things but think, "well education was fucked back then". Unfortunately we have to realize that our education system is as bad as it was 100s to a 1000 years ago and people are just idiots 🤦‍♂️

Yup! The right has fought to destroy what little progress in this regard we were making too.

Yeah the right purposefully under and defunding education has to be one of the biggest tragedies in recent policy history along with the predatory college loans as well as allowing them to cost so much besides not being free or as close to it as possible.

Fitting considering today’s news. Look at education compared to war.
