Noped out after having to click through to different pages while wading through gobs of text.

Edit: if anyone has a concise overview, I'd be interested.

Stop tellung them things and start asking questions.

"Will the medicaid stuff still be there? The budget cuts are pretry steep, is that still going to work?"

"Do you worry about people with green cards being detained? Is it going to spread? He is already talkimg about taking away people's citizenship. Is there anything we should do to be more prepared?"

When you don't attack but instead question with an eye toward a shared outcome, you can make more progress.

Hmm, why would Donald Trump not want Epstein's client list to see the light of day?

use a local password manager

you can usually log these questions and your answers in there.

make sure your answer has nothing to do with the content of the question.

Where else can they inflict violence on others professionally, though?

I mean ... find your passion and you'll never work a day in your life?

Everyone here talking about the minority groups when I think the real story is people thinking 1/5 Americans are making $1M/yr.

What are these people smoking? I need some.

They spent it on a giant wall they were trying to build at the border to save them from

<checks notes>

You know how Republicans hate "woke"?

It makes sense. If you wake up and just look at results, you see what their priorities get you.

wake me up when Republicans care.

This will keep happening.

Texans, hold your reps who wasted.money on a bullshit border wall instead of warning sirens accountable, please!

This is just madness now. Billionaires are laughing at us all.

• results not guaranteed. 🤣

"the main chemicals used to control them."

And here is the fucking problem.

THAT'S NOT HOW IT GOES, DAD!

... Oh? It doesn't?

Whenever they would start singing it, I would sing

Cha-cha-cha-lava, La-la-la-chicken!

back at them until they got annoyed enough that they stopped.

🤷‍♂️

This, but OP, I think, pointed to the issue maybe without realizing it:

If you feel you are just a.cog in a capitalist machine and not a citizen of a country, why would you celebrate?

It feels like Fox news and all the wedge issues have done their work and destroyed our sense of collective citizenship. Now the GOP is doing their corporate owners' bidding.

shit cars for shit people. 🤷‍♂️

You claimed that unless there are alternatives with no drawbacks that we are doomed to this in industrialized societies.

I disagree.

When the drawback of plastic is that it is toxic to our health, it seems like all sorts of things we used to use should be back on the table, just for starters, drawbacks and all.

Citation needed. Lots of Romans ate fast food. Y'all just trying to find every excuse to not change anything.

It is killing us. The evidene is mounting. Keep advocating for the status quo if you like, but it is insane to me.
