Since Twohearts is banned I'll have to use the Red Mercury account to make my "What are your preparations and plans for the possible Trump dictatorship?" thread.

You fool, don't do that in the Red Mercury account.  Do you know how hard we tried to get a mod spot with all that brown nosing?

It is always fascinating to observe Ree when someone they like is accused of bad things.

They suddenly understand waiting for their facts. Not shouting fuck (insert person) repeatedly

Even the cliche "believe women" posts have an air of wait-and-see.

Never fear, twohearts lives on famiboards!

This exchange was in relation to the question: 

how do y'all finish games fast

I actually found it really easy once I pushed most of my friends and family out of my life. 
Thanks, politics! 

but I already did that :(

or they did it to me for having the gall to be chronically ill in a pandemic and not want to die

and the others simply died from it or in its wake as the world first abandoned us, then merely sought to kill us

ahem... so yeah, I think the answer is "never need to do anything around the house or otherwise" and "don't be chronically ill, queer, or deeply exhausted"

Yay I'm all 3 of the things you say not to be 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Artists should not suddenly devalue their work just because they're in an enthusiast space, because enthusiasts can run all sorts of income brackets. Artists should charge what they're worth. End of. If you are a strapped attendee, then you don't get the right to have access to high-valued labor just because you have a nerdy passion for the subject of that labor. Either save up money or buy what you can afford.

How many carrots are your commissions worth Nepenthe?

This also sounds a lot like capitalism. Do you need a struggle session?

Low wage workers should work harder so I don't have to emotionally labor looking at dates.

If you don't want people replying to you when you rudely dismiss their opinions, don't do it in the first place.

Zero Vagina. If I could bet $10,000 I'd be $10,000 richer.

[Jonsey]

That hypocritical motherfucker really talking about opinions and respecting them

[benji]

The stages of grief:

"I'm not gonna vote and just let the fascist take over because the old guy is old" is one of the most ridiculous justifications to not vote. Moreso, than "but her emails." Especially when it comes to what's at stake. So far be it from me to hyperfocus on that type of voter, which by my knowledge does not comprise the majority of Americans, especially if we break down demographics.

I think there are very few folks who are not voting simply because Biden looks old. There are far more saying they will withhold their votes for his support of Palestinian genocide.

Now can the news finally focus on what Trump said at the debate.

That would require the news media to be honest, but they'd rather go with the sky-is-falling horseshit. And it's bumming me out. Even my aunt, who's usually glass-half-full on everything, is wondering if Biden should drop out.

It sucks that this is the narrative instead of Trump being close to becoming a dictator, and aside from tuning out the news media I don't know what to do.

[TylenolJones]

Damn, such great cope and it’s only July. We’re going to be feasting in November. 

This is an interesting point. When you just compare what each said, Biden demolished Trump:

It's unfortunate that he had a rough start, but it's too bad a lot of people just look at presentation and not actual substance.

Meanwhile the other democrat hopefuls...

[ClothedMac]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: when you anecdotally superimpose social gender dynamics onto American politics, everything makes sense.
Republican Daddy is strong and takes care of us. So we can't complain when he's a belligerent asshole, when he comes home hours late from work smelling like booze and with lipstick on his collar. When he ignores the kids to watch his sports...oh! that's just Daddy!
But Mommy? Democratic Mommy has to be perfect. She has to keep the house clean, and help the kids with their homework, and go to all the PTA meetings, and clean up all the boo-boos, and make sure her lipstick is put on just so. And she can't ever complain. And if she ever makes a mistake, she's a bad mommy!

Well, Democrat Mummy is the one who wants to tell us how to sit at the table when we're eating, what we can do with our spare time and pocket money, and who we can be friends with. 
Republican Daddy says do whatever you want, eat whatever you want and hang out with whoever you want as long as they're not a terrorist.

Strange.  With Daddy you can point to another kid on the playground and say, "he makes me fee unsafe," and he will punch the other guys father.  Mommy will pull some centrist, "likes talk to him and reach an understanding."  I'm pretty sure I know which one Era prefers

THIS IS NOT NORMAL:

We’re gonna need to stay here and fight, and not just politically in four years when he’s up for reelection, but constantly—monitoring legislation as it moves through Congress and fucking voting when your legislators come up for reelection in two years, but that is still the barest minimum of what is going to be needed, because for the last eight years, we’ve had a president we can assume would generally stand up for the rights of all Americans, but that is going to change now. So we’re going to have to actively stand up for one another. And it can’t be just sounding off on the internet, or sharing think pieces or videos like this one that echo around your bubble. I’m talking about actual sacrifice to support people who are now under threat.

It is gonna be too easy for things to start feeling normal, especially if you are someone who is not directly impacted by his actions. So keep reminding yourself, this is not normal. Write it on a Post-it note, and stick it on your refrigerator. Hire a sky writer once a month. Tattoo it on your ass. Because a clan-backed, misogynist, internet troll is going to be delivering the next State of the Union address. And that is not normal, it is fucked up.

[Nintex]

Joe goes down with the ship of the oligarchs that keep gaslighting and virtue signaling everyone just so Jill Biden can keep appearing on Vogue covers and Hunter gets his 10%. 
  
He's not slurring, it's his stutter.
He didn't fall, he just lost his footing.
He didn't sleep, he was thinking.
He didn't stare, he was focused.
He didn't wander off, he was exploring.

I certainly hope for him and his legacy that it is indeed a matter of fatigue and being old and not real cognitive decline that has him yelling the n-word and groping interns by time the DNC rolls along because he thinks he's in the 60s. And to quote ResetEra, anyone that has interacted with a dementia or alzheimers patient knows that the chances of eventually ending up at that stage are more than zero.
