    In mine, I’m amazed at the amount of people who openly agree with me when I claim my left-wing status and start ranting about not having a left wing party that matters, who openly clamor for a union, who happily agree about the incredibly wealthy bosses taking in millions while some of our coworkers live in cars… and then they start spouting the fox news talking points a few minutes later. Especially with immigration/national security/“think of the children!” matters, it seems like we are culturally infected with maga rot even in otherwise ‘normal’ or even ‘leftist’ folks.

      i like using what i have no idea if it’s “real” rhetoric but some form of “so there’s a line that’s ok with you?”

      the US blows up a girls school. No problem? But Russia blows up a house and its bad? So what’s the line? 10 civilians? 1000?

      if you toss in a dig that indicates they’d just throw up dip spit into their scba if we ever had to respond to a blown up girls school anyway… they usually shut up. no offense if you dip. (stop)
