Sounds a bit annoying to go on a trip with just you, your son and the couple that cheated on you. I assume you're not just going to spend all the time with your son, are you the type who has an easy time entertaining themselves alone in such a place? Otherwise, that's a lot of time to spend third-wheeling with a couple that you're not particularly fond of.

They're going to elect an authoritarian as president, surely that will bring down prices!

Reminder that Musk has fathered a dozen children. Welfare queen.

But my point is that it doesn't make sense to use Afghan women as an argument against fighting back in the first place. It doesn't matter if it's their fault or not, American women need to fight back.

It's not about assigning blame, but about what would have to have been done.

And more importantly, American women CAN still fight back, so why are you talking about women in another country who can't really fight back anymore like it's a good counterargument?

Arguably, current-day Afghanistan is what happens when you (i.e. Afghan women as a whole) don't fight back early and decisively enough.

Economists also said that Trump would tank the economy. Americans sleep.

Not even just "sleeping", Wallstreet is celebrating his win!

Same reason why neighbors don't like hearing their neighbor's loud music at 2am.

People feel that their quality of life is going downhill and the propagandists presented an easy scapegoat to distract from the rich.

Sure I get it, making noise tends to be fun when you're the noisemaker - personally I like loud music and I'm not the kind of person who goes to sleep early. But it's the same as with anything else, you need to be considerate of other people.

Your neighbors, if they had a say.
