Why Politics Has Become So Stressful

No matter which party wins control of the House and Senate next month, the results are virtually certain to reinforce the paradox powering the nation’s steadily mounting political tension. American politics today may be both more rigid and more unstable than at any other time since at least the Civil War. A politics that is rigid and unstable sounds like a contradiction in terms. But the system’s…

it is. so weird to me that I'm having to say this again after a real-life cartoon supervillian already once ran for president on a platform of hatred & fascism and won, but.

it's November, please fucking vote

#not a shitpost #serious post #this election cycle will DETERMINE what legislation gets passed #it will DETERMINE THE FUTURE OF ABORTION RIGHTS AND GAY MARRIAGE AND OTHER LGBTQ+ PROTECTIONS #the supreme court plans to destroy as much progress as possible and that means we have to rely on congress to protect those rights #which they can only do if the Dems control the senate and the house #we are in FULL BLOWN DAMAGE CONTROL MODE here #especially because it is still somehow perfectly possible and actually probable #that the festering pile of garbage in human form who recently tried to overthrow the government will end up back on the ballot in 2024 #we still haven't recovered from 4 years of trump and if we don't show up at the polls it is perfectly possible we will get another 4 years #vote this november to protect basic human rights #and vote in november 2024 so we don't have to survive another 4 years under trump #because many of us--the most vulnerable of us--won't survive. and many many more will suffer #vote to protect yourself and your neighbors. vote to protect those who most need protection.#vote because it is the right thing to do #vote out of kindness #and vote out of spite--because billionaires are spending insane amounts of money to prevent you from voting #so tell them to get fucked and vote anyway #do it out of spite and do it out of heart and do it out of rage and do it out of love #show up #us politics

Sorry but if you're crying and shaking and shitting and throwing up about "tankies/red fascists" while out and proud Christo-fascists who think your body is the site of a literal war with Satan they need to win take over the country you're a dumbass with no survival instinct

#the way people screech about tankies you'd think MLs control half of congress

Anyone who thinks there isn't a MASSIVE propaganda campaign going against Trump just has to type MAGA into the Tumblr search box.

Apparently Joe Biden is a war hero now. And everyone left of center has now decided that they were AGAINST the lockdowns in 2020, that it was all Trump's fault. Have yet to see an actual issue raised either in support of Biden or against Trump...

Propaganda isn't supposed to give you something to think about. It's inducing an emotional response; reaction. If you're thinking then it's not doing it's job.

"There's fifty senetors right now who refuse to vote on HR-8, which is a background check rule that the house passed a couple of years ago, it's been sitting there for two years. And there is a reason they won't vote on it:

To hold onto power."

Steve Kerr speech following school shooting in Uvalde, Texas leaving 19 children and 2 teachers dead.

government shutdowns are just the funniest fucking thing to me like. got a dysfunctional congress? have you tried turning the whole govt off, waiting a bit, and turning it back on again?

#except it's more like congress just goes oh yeah we are putting the whole federal govt in time-out until we get tired of it #have fun with your unplanned unpaid vacation of indeterminate length or alternately just have fun working for free :))#kinda puts the lie to the sense that govt is an immutable or inevitable entity almost outside human control. it's just a circus #anyway lol let's see what happens next week #government shutdown

In these dark times, I just wanna say: TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS! STOP BANNING BOOKS! STOP POLICE BRUTALITY! STOP THE WILLOW PROJECT! DONT OVERTURN ICWA! GUN CONTROL IS A MUST! MY BODY MY CHOICE! BLACK LIVES MATTER! The state of the U.S (probably the whole world, too) is so shitty right now, and honestly I am genuinely scared for our futures. The core of the U.S is being rewritten and destroyed. It is no longer free, and it hasn’t been for a while.

I'm done. I'm..I'm just done.

Biden is shipping Palestinians from Gaza to the United States.

THESE PEOPLE HATE OUR GUTS!

Biden is importing Palestinian Gazans to the United States!

HE'S GIVING THEM MONEY, HOUSING, HEALTHCARE...EVERYTHING!

Biden is utterly insane.

He's just incapable of caring about ANYTHING that matters! He can't put this nation, the American people first. It's not that he won't, he can't. It's not in him. Caring about things that matter, living up to his oath of office, serving the people he was supposedly elected to serve is just not written in his DNA. It's not there.

Do I think F1 was being an elitist little shit by rejecting Andretti's bid? Yes.

Do I think that Andretti writing to congress to investigate F1 under anti-trust laws is a little bitch move? Also yes.

#I'm just annoyed that we've been screaming at congress for years to revise anti-trust laws to get companies like Ticketmaster under control #But Andretti gets rejected one time and writes a letter and BAM they suddenly remember that monopolies are bad #They can all chew glass honestly #f1 #formula 1 #andretti

"[W]e’re not going to fix it." -- Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN)

… …

I mean… at least he's honest?

Seriously, he's not pretending that "thoughts and prayers" will actually do anything and he's not pretending that he has the guts to stand up to the gun lobby that controls his party.

He's just admitting that, despite being one of the most powerful people in the most powerful country in the world, there is literally nothing he is willing or able to do in order to save the lives of children in schools.

Are you listening?
