Oh, I'm not being serious at all, lol.

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a hallucinogenic native to that region. ¯(ツ)/¯

My theory is cowardice. Born from constantly being pummelled with fear mongering and propaganda, mind you. But cowardice nonetheless.

Would directly explain the desperation for a "strong" leader no matter the cost. As well as pave the road to deeper bigotry, misogyny, and plain old fashioned racism; there must be a pretty deep cognitive dissonance to internalize all that fear, but still attempt to maintain that they care about "doing the right thing". Anyway, that psychological torment has to be someone's fault.

Worst though, is to witness all the evil and suffering coming from this faction and their leaders, but to at the same time know that if I cannot find some level of honest compassion for these individuals, then I have no chance of getting through to them (with some of them, that might not even be possible anymore). Forgive the sinner, not the sin, sure makes it sound simple. Hint: it's not. It's, well, fucked up and awful, to say the least.

But our options are running out, and without solidarity there will be no viable path forward. The only path left will go in the wrong direction for a terrible distance, involving untold violence and death before there will be any chance to start moving forward again. Even the best of our options sadly will almost certainly involve widespread suffering and loss of life.

I will do everything I can to hold onto hope. But I will not deny that we all need to do whatever we can to ready ourselves for the worst, and that I cannot let my hope blind me to the truth.

Umm, what do you mean it's not. He put his hand on his gun because there are absolutely no consequences for doing so. To put it even more simply, he did it because he can.

Are you sure you're asking the question you want answered???

Pretty sure they now have qualified immunity (and then some) anywhere within like 100 miles of any border or point of entry. Specifically included permission to detain anybody, citizen or not, without any paperwork. At least, best I can remember. It was one of many truly disgusting supreme court rulings in my life.

Edit: corrected the word "detain"

Have you tried different versions of proton? Occasionally I've been able to resolve similar issues by selecting an older version of proton for a specific game, but it's very hit or miss.

What, your answer is no, we cannot walk and chew gum at the same time???

You will literally read the same and believe it..🙄

Hell, I've heard MAGAts spout the wall as one of his accomplishments.

Ooh. Whataboutism. So original!

Actually, no.

I found it helpful to also disable this option for the YouTube app.

Wtf??

What the hell are you even smoking???

I do agree with one tiny little bit of your list, though, and that's the fact that your rebuttal would, in fact, be a waste of time.

"National security" has always been a euphemism for anything that threatened the status of the American oligarchy.

Yeah, this isn't appropriate at all for this community.

Unintended consequences my ass.

I am so sorry.

No, I lied, I'm laughing my ass off.

Fake news!

No, no, you see - that's how the redneck Nazis feed each other. Specifically ass to mouth; that's why his flunkies don't complain about the stench from his diapers - makes em hungry!

I know you said don't get any ideas... Oops ¯(ツ)/¯

Good to know! I guess I should admit I've ditched windows entirely ever since I got a Steam Deck.
