Our president (center-left in social issues, kind of economical liberal in economics) just announce he’s not stepping down, after 5 days of meditating about it.
Now the right wing is furious with him because they feel he’s dishonest and he should have actually stepped down for multiple reasons
The left is furious with him because he had ignore the smear campaign the right wing media has been running against every single left wing politician for a decade until now, and with this stunt he has made it all about him.
And look, the guy is a clown, and mostly a centrist which I disagree with in almost every single economic measure he has taken (or refused to take). But the reality is that if he had stepped down, we would have gone for general elections, and the chances of the right wing party teaming up with the actual fascist party to get to the government would have been extremely high.
So yeah, I’m relieved we are keeping our liberal clown president for another year, given how the alternative is having actual fascists as head of several ministries.
i read the hobbit in 3rd grade and i thought it was really lame. however i liked bilbo baggins for some reason and i was fully convinced he was some sort of rabbit/mouse thing until i saw the lotr movies and was really, really confused
You ever just see people talk about the Percy Jackson books and know somewhere, deep in your heart, that none of these people have understood that this is a series made for middle schoolers. And that fandom will very frequently lie to them like, all the time. No, that character probably isn’t ooc, you’re just thinking of what the fandom turned them into. No, this book isn’t a horrible stain next to the others before it, literally all of them were like this. It’s Percy Jackson. It’s cheesy and occasionally makes a very questionable writing decision.
You gotta be in this for the long haul or jump ship my guys. Be cringe and free or be gone
Every time I rewatch The Lord of the Rings I oscillate violently between “it’s important to show men having close, supportive friendships and I’m so glad Peter Jackson chose to show all the male characters being loving and physically affectionate with one another in a healthy, platonic way” and “damn, these bitches gay. good for them, good for them”
