Just sayin', you're gonna need more than 520 watts to power that purrbo frequency.
Our resident salad muncher would like to say: "Do not ask, friend; demand!"
Yes, Murphy, you are quite cute. Next question?

This is almost word-for-word an interaction I had with a coworker yesterday. Said she voted Orange this primary because "he's the only one to fix this damn gender issue", so I asked her what she thought of his policies on foreign affairs and the domestic wage gap.
I got a double-chinned shrug and an "idunno". Lmfao our country is going to burn because a vast swath of people would rather see hundreds of thousands prosecuted for socially-engineered offenses instead of nurturing the human condition.
On a solemn note, our country's governance has become a joke. A circus of clowns too busy honking horns and throwing pies at each other to notice the tent around them is ablaze. To everyone, please, do not take our country's governance as a joke. Serious, irreversible consequences oft come from impotent or non-existent legislative power.
We stand at a precipice, so please vote. Vote. VOTE. VOTE.
As an unfortunate citizen of of that part of the Midwest, I can attest that alt-right propaganda is beginning to flourish with the upcoming election. Historically blue states within our region are no exception; many of the youth within the rural town I live in have unfortunately fallen trap to misinformation. I see more MAGA flags/hats, "fuck Biden" stickers on gas pumps, and hear more slavering bullshit spill from their mouths. There is still much more work to be done in repairing our democracy from fascist agendas.
PLEASE: Remember to vote for every election you can. It only takes one afternoon of one day to cast your ballot, but it means e v e r y t h I n g in how our country is delegated. It doesn't matter what color tie they wear, but it is crucial they care for the health of our globe and people as much as they do their country.
This is our home. Let's show it we care.
If I had to deal with the same smooth-brain at work every day while they insist to make my job more difficult for no other reason than they can, I'd lose a fuck or two along the line as well.
Nothing will change until organization takes place. Assuming you're in the USA, join your local climate activist group. Nearly any group will do, or if you're inclined you could start your own. You will meet like-minded people in a driven atmosphere. Can't make meetings regularly? Go when you can, even if it's just once every other month. Like a true democracy, collective thought and action is the only true way to stomp out fascism. We need to band together beyond our devices for our voices to be heard.
This issue extends to politicians as well. If you replace "Ancien Régime" with "Oligarchy-flavored Republic" it's almost like we're living the beginning script of the French Revolution here in America. That should induce quite the pandemic of sweaty palms in D.C. If that Oaf gets reelected, we're gonna have a Louis XVI on our hands... and we all know how that went down...
