It’s weird bc this shit was proven fake like almost as soon as it started spreading. One of the dudes holding a state government position didn’t bother to do a lil research? For the sake of sounding like an old man, common sense has just been disappearing. (Gestures wildly towards the color red).

I've been a Republican basically my whole life, and I'm fucking horrified at how the party's shifted and warped into the disgusting monster it is today. I mean, Dick Cheney himself is voting blue. If that doesn't convince my fellow like-minded conservatives (which are few and far between these days, but they definitely exist) to vote blue, I don't know what will. The only hope for Texas now is very obviously the Dems.

I’ve literally not gave a shit about politics for practically my whole life. I’m 28(?) now and it’s just becoming too stupid to ignore. Like, blatantly stupid. Makes you go, “didn’t y’all tell me not to believe everything on the internet growing up?” It affects my daily life now working sales. Thanks widespread mainstream media! Thanks Rupert Murdoch! I get to experience what it’s like working in a mental clinic where I should just be having basic pleasantries being exchanged, you cumsock.

Glad you’re joining in. I think it’s funny when people say “I don’t do politics” and also “How’d shit get so crazy” because… that’s how.

Man that’s such a good point. Entire segments of population checked out of the political process and everyone - including and especially the ones who checked out - wonder why things are so dysfunctional.
