They courted the crazy vote, only now there are true believers actually elected, and turns out that just screaming into the void and blaming everyone else doesn't actually make you a good politician

How VW, one of/the largest car manufacturers in the world, turns out the overpriced shit EVs it does, yeah... No wonder people are looking elsewhere

Covid also really did a number on the car market (like so many others), probably take another 2-4 years before the used market gets anywhere back to normal.

Capitalism demands perpetual and unlimited growth forever

I like the episode of Love Death and Robots where they come to earth and look at how different groups handled the end of the world

There's a fungus that grows on clover, that if eaten makes horses salivate more.

"Slobbers" normally isn't anything but annoying, but it actually can cause dehydration if the horse doesn't have access to water

Political compass memes or something?

A lot of those "both sides" or "free speech" subs are really just right wing with a mask on

They blame the democrats anyways

They realized what you said

Normally they go on TV and whine and blame everyone else (democrats) for their problems. This time their problem is purely other republicans, and it wouldn't be a good look to their rabid fanbase to go out and just bitch about each other

Gotta keep up the facade they've worked so hard on

Because covid destroyed the car supply chain and made new cars basically the same price as used

In some cases, used is actually more expensive because it's available that day, whereas ordering a vehicle still takes 6+ weeks

Polls also said the 2022 election was supposed to be a huge red wave, and instead dems kept the senate, and republicans only got a tiny majority in the house, one so small that they just had the first speaker ever voted out of the position

That crowd keeps getting a little smaller every day though

I don't like my politics to be entertaining

Speakers don't get removed, ever. He is the first to be voted out in the history of the country.

Also the House now cannot do anything except vote on a new speaker

He didn't even have that for the CR vote, didn't like 90 Republicans vote no on it?

Republicans hate the military

Why people think republicans support the military is beyond me

We give money to Ukraine, and they use that money to buy weapons from us

Example: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-aid-ukraine-60-minutes-transcript/

The senate had been working towards voting on (because a group of republican senators were delaying it) a bill that was almost identical to what just passed the house.

George Carlin — 'Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.'

Taylor Swift seems to be doing a good job with that.

Didn't she get like 150k people to register in a day with an Instagram story or something

You can literally search "TikTok data"

They said Virginia and Singapore, then whoops, it's actually not
