It's really annoying how every few years the entire country is like "hmm, maybe Republican leadership would be better. Oh, no, no they're not." Like can't y'all just learn and remember instead of dragging us through this shit?

funny that swedish .org isn't some website about the swedish language, but instead a hospital in Seattle
and zoo .org isn't some kind of inter-zoo governing body, but just the Seattle zoo
Seattle has a lot of primo domain names due to microsoft etc adjacency in the 90s

Excellent, given that it’s been over a decade that we’ve known we’d have a station and growth center here, I’m sure Seattle already upzoned around it, right?
🚈 Next stop: Pinehurst Station!
September 30, we’re opening the doors to our newest Link station — and our very first infill station.
Pinehurst will bring new connections to north Seattle, making it easier to get to the people and places that matter most.
We’re celebrating with the community on opening day! 🎉 Check our website for details as we get closer: soundtransit.org/pinehurst
ALT A light rail train travels on an elevated track next to a highway. There's a new station under construction, and a sign above reads, "hello! Opening Sept 30. New station. New connections. New possibilities." Trees and clear skies are visible in the background.

Because a decent chunk of Real Estate in this country relies on cheap gas.
Its only accessible via car, and because of its low density its built far away from real job centers. This means that the value of these properties would tank if the price of gas/energy rises to the point where commuting from these places costs more than the saved value of moving out here to own these homes

Now overlay the political party affiliation map. I think some things will become clear.

Easy to see why, as a millennial, I've become more liberal the older I've gotten
When I was a college freshman, Bush won the presidency. Since then, Republicans have been wrong on every major policy issue of my adult life: Launching wars, voting rights, torture, LGBTQ+ rights, taxes, social services, COVID, healthcare, school lunch for children, vaccines, ICE, and immigration. Every single one

It’s important to note that most global unrest in the past 5 years has been caused by 3 70-something white boomer losers desperate to stay out of prison.

Why are the fake news accounts overwhelmingly on the right?
Macedonian teenagers in 2016 found that Trump supporters were the most gullible audience.
"The American right, especially the emerging MAGA ecosystem, was simply a dream customer: highly engaged, highly inflamed, and extremely willing to click through to garbage sites that paid out ad revenue...It’s a niche where people are willing to follow a random, anonymous account and treat it as a trusted voice on everything from elections to vaccines to border security – boosting its content to their friends as well."
Now you see what I mean by low human capital.
Trumpism isn't the rise of an ideology as much as it is the mobilization of stupid people.

Buying and controlling media platforms.
Firing commentators.
Canceling shows.
These aren’t coincidences.
It’s coordinated. And it’s dangerous.
The @GOP does not believe in free speech.
They are censoring you in real time.

Trump is shutting down suicide hotlines and planning on repealing the ban on asbestos.
He’s a fucking marvel villain, what is this shit???
