The problem is, if Trump wins, there likely won’t be a next time. He’s out there saying as much on the campaign trail, and he’s tried it before.

Technically, that only really applies for the Presidential election, largely because of the Electoral College. But still, you should never vote for any Republicans anyway, because even affiliating with that den of snakes at this point tells you all you need to know about that candidate.

Lots of people are stupid.

In many ways, our society encourages such stupidity.

I don’t get how anyone can see this debate as high stakes. I feel like anyone who’s been paying any sort of attention knows who these two guys are and what they’re about. If you’re a fascist, you’re voting Trump. If you’re not, the only question is whether you’re going to vote Biden or stay home.

Also, please don’t stay home. Biden sucks, but Trump is basically openly promising the end of American democracy at this point.

That picture isn’t directly related. I think it was taken at the 2016 RNC. I know it’s been a meme since roughly that time.

Rabin was closer than anyone to ending it, and Netanyahu’s stochastic terrorism led directly to his death. And he’s been propping up Hamas ever since, to give Israel an enemy to hate and prevent peace from ever coming to the region.

Fuck him, he owns it now.

From what I understand, a lot of Israelis are rather unkind towards Holocaust survivors. Which is fucking wild to me.

I got really lucky, in that I had made a Costco run shortly before the shit hit the fan and didn’t have to worry about toilet paper while it was in short supply (not hoarding, I had just stocked up like I usually do). Actually ended up handing out a few rolls to friends and neighbors who were having a harder time than I was.

It probably helped that I got a bidet a few months in, and that cut my TP usage dramatically while making my butt also feel cleaner and less irritated.
