    It is not “uncalled for”. It was deliberate called for to distract from the presidents failures and crimes.

      When I’m at an airport bar, any and all interactions with chuds from red states definitely feels like it. They’ve been conditioned to hate blue cities/ states. A simple where you flying to/ from turns into a whole rant about San Francisco and how it used to be great, but it’s been ruined by wokeness or whatever 9 times out of 10. It’s fucking unbearable. I try not to talk to those chodes because they literally can’t function without repeating some bullshit they heard on Fox News. They straight up live in an alternate reality.

      We’re being actively goaded in that direction by bad-faith actors all over social media, including here. Those of us with brains are keeping our powder dry since it’s obvious that these trolls can’t speak for all the steps that sit between conflict and resolution. Said trolls also don’t understand that the majority of gun owners are trained and know better. It’s not like you can buy bullets at 7-11, and having so many firearms around doesn’t automatically make this a volatile situation, hence the constant pushing you see online.

      What I can say is that the political divides you’re seeing online are showing up in the real world, where people aren’t able to overcome propaganda and programming. In my experience, people generally stay off the topic of politics in public because they want to have a good day. Occasionally you spot someone wearing trump stuff, but I take that in stride along with people wearing offensive t-shirts and the like: it’s just trolling, plain and simple.

      Overall, it’s not great.

      This syndicated comic strip ran in a bunch of main line newspapers yesterday. You have to understand it’s pretty wild for these big, mainstream comic strips to dip into politics if that’s not what they usually do. When Doonesbury went “too far”, he got moved to the opinion page in a bunch of papers.

        I’ve seen some of Doonesbury‘s comics on the Internet. They, just like this comic strip, feel less like satire and more like a hyperbole. In Austria, we ususally overexaggerate everything. Like we have a satirical book about a former major of Vienna, called “get me the sparkling wine”

      Let it be an example to you. Keep the fucking hard right and left wing idiots out of political leadership. I always voted for the SPD, CDU or Greens, the AfD and Linke can f-themselves and would destroy Germany like MAGA is doing to the USA. Shame the Pirate Party (Piratenpartei) failed, they were on to something.

      Oh please let them finish what was left to fester

      I loved the idea of Canada joining our glorious EU as well. Imagine working there for a bit and laughing at the border at yanks that get sent back or something… Cathartic. Plus Canadian bud.

      Let Texas succeed. Something.

    MAGA’s attitude, “Life is Cheap.” If any of the family members and soldiers guzzled down the Orange Kool-Aid, mixed with Russian vodka, zero sympathy.

    Do they really think their son is going to heaven? What was he killing people there for? Was this his way to make a living and put food on the table?

    He died mass murdering people 8000 miles away from an airplane to help a genocidal aparthied expand their settler-colonial hegemony, and help his pedofile boss cover their crimes and get richer from death and destruction of poor people.

    He was not defending an invasion or any threat, and dont give me that he was freeing people from a dictatorship when his US military is what enables and supports all the dictatorships in the in the gulf reigon and middleeast including unlimited support for a genocidal aparthied supremacist ethnostate. In fact, the only dictatorship his military does not help in the middleeast is one his country improvished with sanctions for decades and whom he was mass slaughtering their people when he died.

    I see many people disparaging the family. Saying that this is what they get for voting for trump. (unconfirmed, people are using them encouraging others to vote as reasoning to call them Trump supporters… Which is so awful and hypocritical.)

    I hope people can remind themselves that these are real people with real lives, dreams, and concerns. No parent should have to bury their child no matter who they are.

    Please also remember that service members are not given a choice to opt out of a specific president. For all we know the service member could have been the most stout democratic supporter.
