    You remind me of that rich kid who threw a temper tantrum and trashed the Mustang his parents got him because it wasn’t a Lambo.

      Heard a kid yesterday yelling that he didn’t want vanilla!!

      Kid got nothing. Somehow that was also unacceptable to him, and yet, it was all over.

        People need to realize that if it weren’t for Covid Trump probably would have glided into a second term.

          If it weren’t for Covid, people would’ve actually noticed how Trump’s tax handout to the rich and trade war with China were crashing the economy.

          Remember, Trump was badgering the Fed to lower interest rates to 0% in 2019, before the pandemic even started.

        That’s part of the problem. People are acting like kids. Not willing to think and not taking action to make things better.

        People get the governments they deserve. You need to fight for better options.

          People are adults and can vote. Please don’t belittle them to make yourself feel better about it.

          Generations have been infantilized since millennials and kept out of decision making power. Fighting for it hasn’t gotten very far but people are absolutely doing it look at any of this protesting and conversation for that.

          People don’t feel very well represented and are struggling, the same is true for the Right they just have a different perspective on how to fix it that is grounded in propaganda and undue belief.
