        All I know is there are many plumber positions open nationwide that need to be filled since they don’t want to do their jobs. Might as well be effective about it and not lone wolf too

    I do not pledge allegiance to a fascist country. I haven’t placed my hand over my heart in 10 years. I would sooner burn the flag than pledge.

    I have also instructed my children to no longer pledge either.

    I know in many ways this is an attempt to brainwash folks into ultranationalism, however I also believe its more so an attempt at a “gotchya” that doesn’t work anymore.

    I remember when they started forcing us in highschool to do the pledge every day, and anyone who opposed it was being chastised as an anti-American and “ungrateful to the brave soldiers who fought for our ‘right’ to pledge”.

    I don’t think these stupid assholes are gonna have that same “gotchya” anymore. I think more people than ever agree the ultranationalism in the US is cringe, fascist and based in lies.

      I did the pledge of allegiance in elementary school. You just did it. It was unthinkable not to. Then they stopped with that bullshit.

      Then I learned they changed the pledge to add the under god part and that was the moment I realized it had all been bullshit propaganda.

        Tom Wheeler was FCC chair under Obama. He was a VC and telecom industry lobbyist, so obviously he’s going full regulatory capture and letting the industry squeeze us dry right? Turns out he changes his mind, rules in favor of Title II, and ushers in Net Neutrality in the US. Crazy stuff.

        Ten years later the Roberts Supreme Court comes through and undoes all of it. Because fucking of course they did.

            Wouldn’t that be a face turn? Not a wrestling fan, but I’m pretty sure a heel turn is when a “heroic” character turns villainous.

        I remember seeing a sketch some number of years ago about a time travler warning his past self about Betsy DeVos and the past version was shocked that things got bad enough that he knew who the secretary of education was.

          Fuckin-A man… I’ve never known who the secretary of HHS was, this is the second dept of Education secretary I’ve know the name of (the first was DeVos).

    This is how you force secularity on the population. I think they don’t have as much support as they think they have. Most people don’t want their weird paedophilic religion.

      Project 2025 was highly unpopular. People just didn’t inform themselves before voting. I know people who voted for Trump who started freaking out about Project 2025. And I am here like “it was public, they didn’t even try to hide it.”

        In their mildest defense knowledge existing doesn’t mean it’s accessiblity is known, if you don’t know you should even be looking for a threat how could you possibly react to it? This is honestly the true threat of the right wing media bubble as a whole, it silences outside information with BS culture war, xenophobia, and generally inane slop. This is why I firmly think if you want to break the right ya need to remove their talking heads.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
