Fundies are like the Jurassic Park velociraptors who constantly tested the fences. 24/7 the fundies have been relentless in testing the "barrier" of the separation of church and state. The barrier has been strong enough to stop them from injecting Christianity into places like public schools even in Texas. But the velociraptors eventually got out. And the fundies know GOP justices on SCOTUS and Trump are their key to victory in ending the separation first in the red states.

It makes me sick to say it but I think they'll succeed first in states like Texas, then other states, and eventually maybe even nationwide via the GOP, Trump, and the GOP justices.

These libs man they don't want solidarity...

Bluesky libs and libs like them have their own uber-lib version of solidarity and it's "building coalitions". And - of course - the concept means people should do exactly what normie libs and the democratic party want.

Why do they always go with egg prices...

I think because egg/eggs is easy to use in a joke and it's punchy because it's a single syllable. A "They voted for egg prices!" joke allows libs to skewer the people they like least. Who is this "they"? Maga? Traditional republicans? Non-voters? People who don't vote often enough for the democrats? The poor? Etc. And it's a sort of Freudian slip that some dems can't resist. They are actually saying it's stupid for people to vote based on their own circumstances and their own material conditions. Gee - why would people do that???

I saw an egg meme with two gigantic black trucks in a driveway. It was very strange. I don't remember the text. Ninja edit - this...

At Bluesky for my main account - I'm not following anybody. Instead - I use feeds I made at skyfeed.app. I want to know the current lib zeitgeist. 2024 is the new 2016.

I alphabetized the list so it's easier to reflect on...

• Child care / The cost of children (assuming that's something you want to do not making a value judgement)
• Education
• Housing
• Inflation / Cost of Living / Value of currency
• Medical Care
• Student Loans
• Wages/"JOBS™©®"/"THE ECONOMY™©®"

When I consider that list in their post-election posts/comments - those topics have hardly come up. The only exception is angry posts about people not voting for Kamala due to inflation, etc. They'll say stuff like "People complained about eggs and now we get fascism." I literally had to mute words like "egg" and "eggs". Hate scrolling is only good if you can least laugh once in a while at how clueless or hopeless people at a site are. I was getting angry at such stuff. Will they still be making egg jokes years from now? I think so.

Just like 2016 - libs are incapable of introspection. They don't try to sympathize or empathize with common people. Instead they are really angry that the public failed the democrats. And if you point out this a horrible attitude - they hate you.

Post-election there's been an insane explosion of highly popular Twitter libs. When it comes to politics there's a sea of Orange Man Bad crap. I want to tell them: I agree - Trump's administration will be a horrorshow but why can't you can't even manage a veneer of solitary with ordinary people?

I had to start [cough] liberally using the mute function and I also started blocking political accounts. I didn't block a single political account pre-election. There was no need. I could just scroll past and smirk or smile at how bad the posts were. But now I have clean my feed. Trump Derangement Syndrome is at 11. I don't need to see one zero effort post after another that are still highly popular. It's trenchant commentary like...

Upvote if you hate Trump and are worried about America. giant-American-flag.jpg

Matthew 25:35 "For I was hungry and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger and you welcomed me. I was a stranger so I deserved to be arrested and put in a militarized camp."

From Trump's perspective the bible is good but the Trump President Bible (THE OFFICIAL BIBLE FOR SCHOOLS) will be best. It will have some much-needed edits. Take for example this commandment from Jesus.

John 15 "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. love and obey Trump."

TRUMPVERSITY™

TRUMP VENI, VIDI, VICI - BABY.

Fox News could have done a prank and occasionally some random guy appeared who they called their "crime and medicine expert". Also "Hannibal Lecter" was on the chyron for an extraordinarily long time with each appearance. Trump would have at least nominated him to be Assistant Director of the FBI or something.

"LOOK! LOOK! IMMA DOIN' THE TRUMP DANCE! EVERYBODY AT THE FBI WILL DO THE TRUMP DANCE! JESUS IS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR AND PRESIDENT TRUMP IS HIS COPILOT HEALIN' THE PEOPLE AND CRUSHIN' THE HATERS..."

I hear a tapping at my chamber door. ’Tis some visitor - only this and nothing more?

just hope slapping trump's name on it

TrumpEd?

I forgot to mention the most helpful advice - the board at the link is interactive.

Naroditsky is streaming right now - https://www.chess.com/member/danielnaroditsky

There's a 15s ad in the intro and then it's ad-free. If he's doing well and he's in a good mood - he'll keep going. He might stream another ~4+ hours or it might be over soon. I have no idea.

not even republicans like school vouchers,

Excellent point. They'll have to come up with a new system or maybe just different branding. My hunch is that it will be effectively vouchers but they'll give it another name like SchoolChoice or FreedomEducation something.

I replied to him with...

Scott - you're not actually hearing her. You only think that you are. Really.

He replied back to me in about a minute. I ended the convo there because it's pointless to speak to such people. He's a walking, talking, breathing parody of "Vote!" God fucking damn such libs are terrible.

I'm retired and I'd bet my entire life savings that the Trump administration is going to have a clearly insane grift based on vouchers or something*. Trump will say "We're gonna end the Department of Education and that's good 'cause people can use vouchers to go to better schools." And McMahon win be deeply in on it somehow. Maybe she'll call her org WWEducation.

Cummunism made an excellent point.

Here's some Bluesky horror-comedy...

find refuge on Threads.

I mean Threads has been shit from the very beginning and it's never gotten better even though Zuck had every advantage. It's like when Myspace could have become a social media juggernaut but it went into the toilet because it was entirely mismanaged and - oddly enough - that helped Facebook to quickly become a behemoth.
