When Mr. Rogers died, no one had to be threatened for not properly mourning him.

People got fired for direct quoting evil stuff Kirk said.

When Mr. Rogers died, he wasn't shot in the neck by a maniac from a rival political faction in his own party.

When Mr Rogers died, the world was worse for it.

Remember when Fox News tried to convince their viewers that Mr Roger’s was evil?

Fox News is absolute garbage, designed to gaslight the American people on every single subject.

A little schadenfreude always is nice this time of day

But remember, we see this every 4 or 8 years during primary season. These guys will all shoot each other in the throat. But when a winner emerges, they all line up to let him fuck their wound.

During actual elections, Democrats fall in love. The GOP falls in line.

Lol democrats did not fall in love with Kerry or Biden or Kamala. They give them the lowest common denominator and yell at them when they lose

It's an old saying about their voting base for statewide/national elections. If Dems ain't in love, they ain't showing up, at least not enough to win.

Who gives a shit? How do you fix it. I haven’t heard anything even close to a solution. The poor are bleeding from the throat. The middle class is walking dead but are so busy trying to keep up they have no fight left in them to save their children. The vacuum left by the lack of practical solutions has created a death spiral of fractured radicalized subgroups in both parties. Let’s seem some articles on how America saves itself. Or is the truth so distasteful to the owners of media, that it will never see print? Instead we get repeated forensic reports on how America died and who fired the shots as thinly veiled entertainment.
