So when they told us Trump was the greatest threat to democracy, the call was actually coming from inside the house?

When you put it that way it sounds… Unpossible

Indeed!

MLK was a real one. The more I learn about him, the more I respect him and the more I understand that he would be widely hated today

I’m very on board with this, but it needs to come with slightly more threat of violence

“Organize” and do what?

Cook at home. Use mostly fresh ingredients. Staple foods are cheap… Rice, beans, etc

Beans and rice with oil and vinegar can hit the spot every day for lunch

Cold cut sandwich with fresh veggies. Bonus for homemade bread!

Eggs. Pasta. Eggs & pasta

For snacks, popcorn on your stove. Flavor with salt or spices. (I love Tajin!)

Keep a few spices in your kitchen. Have a decent olive oil and something high temp like grapeseed or vegetable oil

Avoid alcohol. If you must, don’t drink in bars. (I’m alcoholic… I know it’s hard to quit)

Learn how to properly operate your home’s thermostat in summer and winter. Set it for automatic and dial in your preferred temperature. Leave it constant. This is vastly more efficient than turning it on and off and on and off.

Don’t speed when driving a car. It takes more gas and can get you ticketed

Don’t pay for TV or streaming services. Just pirate. Pirate games too. Books from libgen

For internet access, it may be best value to get unlimited mobile data and make a Hotspot for your PC

Have a specific savings plan. Set X% aside immediately after receiving each paycheck. If possible, get a high-interest account where you’re required to make monthly deposits

If you have a hobby, hopefully it’s cheap. If you can monetize it without killing your passion, go for it. If you have an expensive hobby, try to make enough money from it to offset the costs (I study fiddle. I busk to pay for strings, bowhair, and occasional lessons)

Consider leaving the US for a place that’s cheaper or offers better terms. I left to teach English in Korea and China. Was able to save money and have a robust social life.

Decide what? The policies and direction I didn’t want anyway?

I would have voted for Bernie Sanders

I used to vote but Democrats proved they’re a waste of time

Yeah! People need to go back to trusting good ol cable news! They’ve never steered us wrong

Honestly it’s more possible…

Why is every Democratic policy a tax credit?

“Look! Dick Cheney likes us!”

OK but I mean, I grew up in a Reaganite republican household. I’ve heard lots of crazy stuff for decades. Widespread deportation is a pretty new policy goal and a few people in the party seem obsessed with it. It’s like the wall, insofar as it’s a big dramatic thing that’s largely unworkable. However, it’s pretty fucking cruel.

So like where did this come from? Because I think if you talked to a Republican in 2012 and asked about mass-deporting people, it’d seem like a very fringe idea. 2004? They’d say “maybe people from terrorist countries”, which is at least based on some real stuff going on.

2000? They’d think you were making fun of them

Eh, I don’t really think so. I think maybe SOME people want that

Reschedule. Plain and simple

What’s the obsession with deporting people? I really don’t get it

Don’t worry, it’s all gonna be fine. Joe Biden shook hands with Trump at White House last week.

For years high-level Democrats have told us Trump is The End of Democracy. They either don’t believe it’s true OR they are fine with it.

Which is it? Why don’t liberals ever ever have an answer to this?
