Every GOP strategist, consultant, and candidate should be forced to participate in a role-playing exercise this morning.
Your name is Bob. You’re a 49-year-old blue-collar worker in Ohio. You’ve always struggled to make ends meet. The good jobs were all shipped to China and the few remaining pay a pittance wage, undercut by endless illegal labor.
You’re a 3x Trump voter because you believed he would finally make America great again.
You put your son through Ohio State. He graduated cum laude in computer science. You couldn’t have been prouder. After months searching, he landed an entry-level job at Microsoft. Beneath his qualifications, but a good start for a smart kid.
Then he got laid off. That same month, Microsoft applied for 150,000 more H-1B visas because it can’t find qualified Americans.
Your son has spent six months back in his childhood bedroom, sending hundreds of applications without landing an interview.
On TV, Trump boasts about the greatest economy in history and how many women and minorities are finding jobs.
You decide a father-son steak night might cheer him up.
Gas is $4.50 a gallon. Filling your truck costs over $100. At Kroger, ribeyes are $30/lb. You settle for hamburger, even though 70/30 ground beef still costs $10+.
At checkout, a fat black woman is screaming at the cashier because her EBT will only cover most of the filet mignon and lobster in her cart.
You think to yourself how the Iran war has made everything expensive, but at least we’re stopping their nuclear bomb. You weren’t even sure where Iran was before you googled it after we first bombed them in March.
After dinner, you take your son to the county fair. Half the people aren’t speaking English. Virtually none of the crowd looks like you. You’re forced to leave early after a “teen takeover” turns violent. A foreign born judge pledges none of them will go to jail.
Back home, you turn on the TV. Vivek Ramaswamy is lecturing the crowd about American mediocrity and why Ohio needs more foreign talent.
Your son grows upset. You change the channel.
Now a Republican surrogate, the daughter of a governor or wife of an elderly billionaire, explains that young White men are the REAL welfare queens. They’d rather play videogames in their parents’ basements than work.
Your son says nothing. He just goes back to his childhood bedroom. You turn off the TV.
Then your neighbor starts blasting reggaeton and cracking open Modelos. He brought his cousin’s family from Mexico to help with all the minority-business contracts his construction firm keeps winning. Tonight they’re celebrating his nephew’s birth, the family’s first birthright American citizen.
You sit alone in your living room.
You worked hard, paid taxes, obeyed the law, and raised your son to do everything right. You voted Republican again and again because you believed somebody in Washington would finally fight for you.
Instead, your wages are stagnant. Groceries are unaffordable. Your community is unrecognizable. Your country is fighting another foreign war.
And upstairs, the son you sacrificed everything for is lying awake in the bedroom he slept in at twelve, wondering what the heck he’s even supposed to do with his life now.
Every time you turn on the TV, the Republicans you elected are either congratulating themselves or explaining why you and your son are the problem.
For ten years, they told you America’s future depended on your vote. Now you aren’t even sure America has a future worth defending.
The Republican Party needs to answer one simple question this morning:
You’ve spent a decade demanding Bob’s loyalty. You’ve given him stagnant wages, unaffordable groceries, another foreign war, and a son who did everything right but can’t find work.
And when they complain, you call them lazy, entitled, and racist.
What possible reason have you given Bob and his son to vote Republican? Do you honestly think you deserve their vote?

There’s not a war on this planet that the United States should be involved in right now, monetarily or militarily.

One of the only existing groves of American Chestnut trees is scheduled to be destroyed next month to make room for a datacenter. I made an entire video about what this tree meant and the efforts to bring it back that have lasted decades. Consumption knows nothing of sacrament.

We tried that economic theory and it failed. I don't care about free markets anymore. I stopped caring about GDP line goes up when it sent 90,000 factories and 50 million middle class jobs to China, while importing 100 million cheap foreign labor barbarians to America.

I agree. Prison is a 19th-century Quaker abortion. We must retvrn to exclusively corporal/capital punishment, without “insanity” defense.
Crime itself is the horror that must appall us

In retrospect, naming the native population that colonists displaced after Indians was basically just inviting God to make a cheeky joke several centuries later.

“An enemy will agree, but a friend will argue.”
- Russian Proverb
The Russian proverb “An enemy will agree, but a friend will argue” reflects a traditional belief that genuine friendship requires honesty rather than constant approval. Russian proverbial wisdom often emphasizes loyalty, truthfulness, and the value of sincere criticism between people who care about one another.
The saying suggests that an enemy may agree simply to avoid conflict, deceive, or allow someone to make a mistake. A true friend, however, is willing to disagree and challenge poor decisions, making honest arguments a sign of genuine concern and friendship.

Never avoid jury duty.
Ever.

I sometimes wonder if Iryna Zarutska would have gotten justice if there had been a Flock camera on that train.

Intel was awarded up to $7.9 BILLION in CHIPS subsidies to create American semiconductor jobs.
It then permanently eliminated 3,178 Oregon jobs—including hundreds of engineers.
Now Intel’s own filings show it is still sponsoring H‑1B engineers at the same Hillsboro operation.

This is ridiculous. I went to highschool in a dirt poor town, population 5000, like 90% of people were on welfare. The only jobs in the entire town were mcdonalds, dollartree, a non-chain grocery store, a gas station, a dunkin donuts, a car dealership, and an oil heating company. The closest city was 1.5 hours away.
Nobody got murdered. There still has only been 1 murder there in the last 40 years. There was no property crime or muggings. The worst that would ever happen is maybe someone breaks into your shed and messes it up, or steals the change out of your cupholder. People dont lock their cars or their homes. There wasnt even any shoplifting. The only real criminal problem they have is domestic violence, and thats a problem that stays in the criminals own home for the most part.
The only way you could believe that poor whites and blacks are basically the same is if youve either never lived around either of them. Living in a poor black area is like hell on earth. People will constantly be robbing you, trying to break into your home, steal your car, your bike, your lawn chair, anything that isnt bolted to the ground, and even then sometimes they bring an angle grinder. You cant even have a shed because crackheads will constantly be stealing things like shovels, or cans of old paint, looking for a few cents to buy drugs. Murders happen every single day, over the dumbest possible shit. You cant even do something as simple as going to the convenience store without risking being involved in some kind of violence, whether its someone robbing the place or another "patron" becoming violent over literally nothing.
I thought i was prepared to move to a shitty negro neighborhood when I came back to the city after graduating, and for the same reason. "I know what poor people are like, poors are all the same, mostly nice people who just want to keep to themselves". I was an idiot. Poor blacks are like wild animals with absolutely 0 conscience. They can be your neighbors for years, you will talk to them every single day, and then they will spontaneously decide to burglarize your house one day while youre at work and the entire family will swear up and down that it wasnt them, while theyre wearing your clothes, riding your bike, and watching your tv.
Even the poorest white area is 100x safer than any black neighborhood. Its such a vast difference that its completely incomparable.

“indians have been trying to scam each other with fake cow piss so cow piss experts are being called upon to personally taste every batch and ensure purity” is something not even the most racist person on this app could have come up with if you gave them carte blanche and five tries to come up with the most anti-indian joke they could conceive of
In Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh, reports of cow urine adulteration are emerging. Middlemen buy pure cow urine from farmers, mix it with urine from animals like buffaloes etc., and sell it. To remedy this, the Modi government should pass a law requiring Sangh workers, who have drunk urine since childhood, to taste every consignment, certify it as pure cow urine, and only then make it available to sanatanis for drinking.

“In fact, it has been remarked by some that the Americans' only real passion is for guns…A rather unfair observation, as we have also developed a keen interest in the grilling of meats, and the ignition of pyrotechnics…”
“But where our hearts truly lie is in strength and triumph, and manifest destiny.”
