That was my usual. Always trying to claim things were good or I was doing great! Those are the ones I try to get a real talk with. But it’s also just trying to get a connection truthfully. I know my times were worst when I felt alone (and I was not, I just couldn’t find the way to talk to my friends). And such I joke as much as I can cause anytime someone says “that’s dark” or “have some sympathy” I tell them my story and try to always be open about it.
Never cracked a joke about it when my idiations were serious. Actually talking about it in any form is a coping mechanism for me. So no jokes are usually not a red flag in my book.
Did I say I closed it or left the cat in it?! Goddamn what kind of monster do you take me for… but they sure do love jumping in there…
Have you never left a dryer door open unattended? It will acquire a cat similar to a box…
It was stable and improving when they elected cheeto again…he was a cancer for it before and now his unchecked absolute brain rot is going to make it worse…
I AM THE WORKING POOR, where in the entire fucking comment chain did it make you think you were speaking to anyone outside of this?! Don’t tell me about people’s grocery bills, they are my fucking grocery bills. Tell me about the “how much could a banana cost? $10?” Thats out of touch motherfucker, and oddly enough not one of the way too old democrats… and tell me how much those fucking eggs have gone down, my grocery bills keep getting worse thanks to tariff mc taco, hell I can’t even find some shit in my grocery store.
So… you’re blaming the democrats for not running on “yes I will ruin this economy again” platform? I’m confused as to what that speaks to low to medium income voters… I am in that graphic, trickle down has been nothing but a godsend to the rich, and bootstraps was a joke to make fun of the poor… so where was any of this supposed to speak to “us” tell me what lost the vote? Last 4 years were ok, the years before less so, these look bad (hey I’m repeating myself)
Things were objectionably better under one president. The entire system is built around making sure the working poor stay there, but I can be happy that folk will come out and see me, and hey maybe they won’t get disappeared by the new SS. I refuse to let people tell me somehow the last 4 years were worse than the absolute garbage we have trudged through and are now just wading back into (that would be gaslighting by the way). Do I think somehow I would be able to afford a house and a car under Harris? Fuck no. Do I have to worry I might someday get disappeared now? It’s definitely close to the docket.
Well… as a bartender I must somehow be wealthy cause I sure did better the last 4 over the previous. And somehow this year has been OK but is spiraling down fast… maybe it’s just the gaslight? Or it might be people don’t spend money they are afraid they’ll lose cause of an economy that looks like it’s about to collapse (again)
So… the economy got better during the last presidency, thanks to a tanked economy before it… and now it is tanking again unsurprisingly… but people hate being gasliit about democrats ruining economies? Harris’ campaign had a boatload of issues, but claiming the economy was going to continue was a safe bet to anyone who could read… fox news wasn’t telling them that so again, reading is important.
And yet… checks notes inflation has gotten worse? We saw the writing on the fuckin wall. This guy ruined one economy why not let him do it again! There is no reason anyone should have voted for chitler other than hate…
I’m super excited to see it happen quickly that all the social security I paid in is going to be fucked off and maybe my fed taxes too… cause yay orange Hitler is now a dictator and no one can stop him

Eh I still don’t mind Darksaber… better than Crystal Star or Planet of Twilight.
If they do that will their blinkers work?
/s sorry that joke lives in my brain
Yes, and no. It brings attention to folk who may be unaware that no one likes this path. The voters apathy is cancerous and I’m not discounting more voter interference from an illegitimate president.
