#The face of politicians
Text
American nutjob politicians will say stuff like: "We need climate change because tornadoes will carry us to heaven during the rapture! The terrorists are stealing Christmas!" and British politicians are like... you'll just casually find out they were 5 times asbestos eating champion of the Lower Prickwhiggle Club, their university entry interview consisted of throwing endangered toads at poor people from a bus, and everyone at their hometown knows them as that rich family whose Estate is the only remaining continuous bubonic plague vector since 1348 bc they traditionally wear squirrels for hats.

"MY life has gotten marginally better or been unaffected under the current administration, so give the Democrats YOUR vote"
that's what y'all sound like. fuckin entitled. or do none of y'all actually believe in one person, one vote lol
just say that other people's problems, well-being, stability, and dignity is secondary to your fucking comfort under the status quo.
if things are "better under Biden" for you to such an extent that you feel entitled to other people's fucking votes, I got news for ya — you were probably fine under Trump too 🙃

My partner and I can't get legally married or else he'll lose his SSI. . . The USA is a hellscape and I kind of just need to shout that into the void for a minute.

okay i'm gonna say something and you all have to give me a chance. ready?
we need to stop making fun of poor american southerners who distrust the government. it's real easy to call them all conspiracy theorists and dismiss them, but half the time, its built off of a genuine feeling of being abandoned by the infrastructure meant to keep them safe.
in appalachia, a lot of people lost their homes because of coal mining operations. a lot of people worked in those mines, and then when the mines stopped being profitable, they got tossed out with the bathwater. a lot of appalachia is poor, malnourished, and i don't blame them for not trusting rich politicians who dismiss them as stupid and lower class.
if yall actually listened to half the things poor southerners say, you'd realize that a Lot of common leftist complaints are virtually identical to the rural grandma who doesn't hold with electronic money and politicians. it stems from a genuine feeling of abandonment and ostracization by the people who run the country. functionally, someone living paycheck to paycheck in the city in a tiny apartment has infinitely more in common with someone from rural appalachia than a politician. high rent, high taxes, food insecurity, feeling lied to by those in power, a general sense of frustration. it just sounds fancier coming from a city mouth than one with shitty teeth and a southern accent.
tl;dr stop dismissing southern people as stupid. they're absolutely right not to wholeheartedly trust politicians, because they've been fucked over by them time and time again, and honestly, id rather talk to a southern person who openly distrusts their representatives than someone from the city who wholeheartedly believes that Frederick Jamestown OldMoney III genuinely cares what people think and can be convinced to change his ways.

look if the general election ends up being biden v trump (which it very likely will), there are plenty of logical and pragmatic reasons i'd want biden to win, obviously. but the pettiest reason is that i just never want to hear about donald fucking trump ever again

not to be a fanon girlie on main but I think we should consider taking away the 'human' label from Dooku
he comes from a planet that has at least one magic space dragon, was under Sith hegemony for a while and according to wookiepedia has enough of a chiss population that they count it distinctly.
honestly, the exact details I don't care about. Are most serennians part chiss? did the sith do some fucked-up genetic fuckery and alchemy on them that still has unexpected influences on their behavior/immune system?? Did they just evolve funny because that's the same planet that gave us the magic space dragon???
a combination of these?
something else entirely?
like. if we can decide that no, stewjoni are their own thing, then surely we can give the same treatment to Serenno

Thinking about Aaron bushnell tonight. His words are running on a loop in my head. I will not be complicit in genocide. Him screaming for Palestine and freedom until he burns to death. Please god let someone hear him. For all the martyrs. For every person still under occupation, deprived of the dignity of a peaceful life they choose. We’re screaming in the streets for change every other week. And will this government, who only speaks in blood and guns and war, listen finally to fire? 30,000 Palestinian souls later, and we are still asking what it will take for these empires to crumble. That is too many lives lost in silence. May every single one reverberate for generations to come. I will not be complicit.

Listen I love stoic Fox but imagine Fox, under the safety of his helmet, making Kermit faces when a senator says something stupid. He can control his expressions obviously, but when he’s wearing his helmet, he has the freedom to make those faces

what is it with people (liberals usually for some reason??) and weird Freudian projections onto politicians? “We need this politician to be like a mother/father to the country” no we don’t

people constantly forgetting that Shmi Skywalker exists will never stop making me legitimately angry.
she was so strong, and so brave, and managed to give Anakin as normal as a childhood as she could, but fans, Disney, etc. ignore her every Mother’s Day, and every time they talk about the Skywalker family.
SHE STARTED IT ALL and she’s thrown to the side like garbage.

You remind me of Present Mic. If only because I feel like he’d try anything once, and is canonically willing to throw down with people who are making stupid decisions. I feel like he’d be more than willing to yell at people breaking protocol too, and I think you do a decent amount of both while remaining fairly laidback overall lol.
😂😂😂😂
Ok this made me laugh really hard
Not much of yeller though. It’s just strongly worded disapproval.

ah genderkoolaid (the op of the queer post) is one of those transmisogynistic bloggers that believes in “transandrophobia” :/ his pinned is all about it
oh anon this is not a can of worms I’m equipped to speak on in depth due to not publishing anything about my agab or gender identity on this blog.
