70 years ago a guy could graduate high school, get a job that allowed him to buy a car, buy a home and support a family, including college for his kids.
They were too busy living a decent life. Then Reagan and the Republicans came to power.
Now, thanks to the vast economic disparity, guys have a very bleak future that makes them easy targets for hate-blaming almost any group of people except the rich who are responsible for their miserable lives.
As if the far right folks will buy an electric car and Elon burned the bridges for buyers on the left.
I don’t miss the thousands of obnoxious, foul mouthed folks on FB that I routinely blocked. Haven’t experienced any of that on the fediverse yet.
In reality many people who were boomers lived in shacks, some with no plumbing and dirt floors, until the 60’s when liberal economics began to fully kick in. Reagan, and Republicans have schemed very hard to bring back those "good old days’. Try reading some actual history of that time. Bonus, if you actually talk to a boomer who lived through hard times.
MAGAs will be there too, because they are beginning to realize they are being royally shit on. In fact, expect them to lead the charge, violently - not all of them, but probably the majority of them.
Of course Putin, with Krasnov’s help, isn’t “planning” to invade Europe. It will just fall under his rule after he destabilizes it.

Bingo. We have a winner.
Lack of mental lifting. Critical thinking becomes too hard. Why innovate? The country has become fat, dumb and happy.
I didn’t realize just how poorly we were viewed overseas
We are poorly viewed by intelligent beings here too.
Despite all the Republican denial, someone must believe in climate change. Wonder how the true-believing cult takes this.
Also, with all the tariffs, why do we need trade routes?
I was going to buy an item but the price went up since yesterday. Not going to buy it now. It’s his tax on us. Not going to finance Krasnov’s destruction of America.
Someone is “gambling with WWIII,
Could it be the deranged wanna-be dictator/mobster, and associates, who want to seize Canada, Greenland and Panama?
Krasnov performed exactly as his master, Putin, instructed. The Russians have landed - in the White House.
Krasnov does what he is TOLD.
Did anyone expect anything else from Krasnov?
A little louder for the folks way in the back - KRAZNOV.
President Kraznov
Bet that’s his everyday name in the Kremlin. We should adopt it as well.
The weak, incompetent and confused are easily lead. Putin spent a lot of time looking for this guy.

Hey, American voted for the exact same kind of guy who would do this too. Maybe shoot them in the legs too.
He is not joking.
