Putin's long plan is coming together magnificently. He started with just one useful idiot, expanded to the whole Republican party and a third of the U.S. population.
I save most of my seeds and buy super good seeds from the Ukraine for cheap, also do all my garden work with a hoe, shovel and 5-tine fork. Just dug another 15 pounds of the sweetest carrots, not at all like the tasteless ones you get at the grocery store. I mulch with leaves and old hay that are free. One bag of organic fertilizer lasts two years. We give a lot of extra produce away every year. Had to start selling some garlic to get rid the extra. Masanobu Fukuoka and Ruth Stout were my inspirations for low labor gardening. Did I mention I'm pretty lazy?
Lots of luck with getting chickens this year. You know they come from eggs and EVERYBODY will be thinking the same thing. There will be riots at the Rural Kings.
You have to search in the bushes for the eggs. Haven't you been Easter egg hunting? This year everyone will be pushing the kids down to get to the eggs first though.
I really enjoy Mastodon. Writers create threads to get around character limits. I actively search out others so I don't need algorithms to chose for me. If you want spoon-fed it's not for you though.
The democrats know all these things and don’t care.
Kevin Phillips, the Republican architect of the "Southern Strategy, has a vastly different view. He essentially said, in his book, "American Dynasty", that Republicans think of the working class as dirt to be used however they royally please, while Democrats at least acknowledged that the working class enabled them to be where they are and supported them.
BYTW, Kevin Phillips, who is very politically knowledgeable, is now extremely disillusioned with Republicans and generally hates both parties.
His shock and awe may shock his violence prone brown headed Magas into pulling another 2nd amendment solution on him or his helpers - this time more successfully.
You can buy much of the same, exact stuff on Temu for way less. You can buy dog food on Chewy for the same price and get free shipping. If you look around, you can usually beat Amazon's prices and get free shipping. Check out Etsy, Ebay and Mercari, Usually they beat Amazon's prices. I canceled at least a dozen amazon subscribe and save orders. My daughter picks up stuff for us at Costco since we live hours away from a store. Shop bent & dent stores, discount stores and thrift stores for the next four years.
Naturally they would shift because they believe the right wing propaganda. Our oligarchs spent a lot of money capturing the MSM, and Putin's use of psyops on social media helped a lot.
Awfully nice of you Canadians to apologize in advance for defending yourselves - eh?
