It sometimes feels like just shutting off all sources of news and information might be more comfortable, in the same way that removing the batteries from a beeping fire alarm might seem like an easier solution. So it can be helpful to look at some reminders of what is going on around you from other regular people.
We’ve gathered some painfully relatable posts about politics from the last few weeks for those who might need a reminder about everything that is going on. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

But, but ... "job creators". Sure, they create jobs, but what they actually use the employees for is to earn money.
Saw an interview with a lady who voted for Trump the other day, and her reasoning for ovoting for him was she thought she was voting for 'family values'. Her entire family was on government support for being disabled, which was now being cut severly, putting them all in huge financial distress. I wouldn't wish that on someone, but hearing her say 'family values', which I got the impression just meant no same-s*x marriage or transsexual healthcare and such, made me have a hard time feeling sorry for her.
And they all collectively decided to fire the people in charge of aviation safety 😊 because they’re making America great again or something
So sad :( (@Carman Davis, this is incredibly easy information to find online. You can look it up yourself, no one is forcing you to stay ignorant.)
I'm sorry but he should have left her up there. She comes across as incredibly vacuous.
Nobody makes that much money by following the law or even morals
Some jerk's new gold plane. Oh, sorry - it's a "gift." (*cough!* bribe.)
You handed us, our kids, our country, and our natural resources over to a f*****t dictator. Our generation (along with those of both my kids probably) will never forgive you.
Imagine telling people who are trying to stand up for the country they believe in to just “move if you don’t like it” when they point out issues that need solving 😂
"Hope they aren't teaching that CRT in school"..said the old guy to me, a school custodian. "Did you know an entire community in Oklahoma, one in Fla, and others were wiped out for doing what they were urged to do? That is.. grow their own? They became too successful and were killed and burned out of their houses?".."No".."Don't you thinks kids SHOULD learn about that to prevent future events like that?".."yeah, probably"..."Congratulations, you're now woke" (Chuckle)
History shows it too 😂 check out which party was in power during the last handful of recessions and depressions
Not even reading Jerzy’s comments anymore, just downvoting because I already know they’re all trash lmao
The trolls: waaah waaah waaah generic MAGA bs, Biden this Biden that 😴 😴 😴 they’re all the same, they all sound the same lmao
I heard a MAGA saying the other day that he thought they SHOULD deport native Americans “somewhere,” because white people have “rightfully” conquered America, just like the Romans (or something like that), and it belongs to white people now. I was like “wait I thought you said immigrants have invaded and taken over your country? So by your logic, isn’t it their country now?” He sat there gaping like a stunned fish 😂😂
Because the U.S.A. is like a teenager who just discovered they’ve bulked up. The rest of the world is older, wiser, calmer. The U.S. government thinks that being powerful and aggressive equals a strong position, the rest of us are baffled that you’ve homeless and families who struggle to eat, veterans who need support and a health system that’s screwed but hey, you’ve got a shiny new missile / tank / aircraft. Your priorities are those of a teenage boy.
I, for one, would me more than happy to feed my family with offcuts from Republican senators and congressmen, the current cabinet, and evangelical megachurch pastors until the current financial chaos is ironed out. (but then, maybe they don't qualify as "my own".)
Was trans people existing affecting the egg prices or the gas prices? I can’t remember 🤷♀️/s
This is so sad. People are being charged an absolutely atrociously inflated tuition cost, and when they ask the government to step in and do something, because generations are being crippled by this for no reason - the government finally decides to help, and then Trump comes in to ruin it :( it’s so unfair to younger people. They shouldn’t be allowed to be charged so much for education.
I’m not religious but I can’t help but think that if Jesus were to “come back” tomorrow, he wouldn’t be hanging around with MAGA, that’s for sure.
Welp, ignorance is bliss. And the generation that MAGA largely consists of, is willfully ignorant of most of this, so...
On the upside, the current administration does seem to be making an effort to get us away from rampant capitalism and consumerism.
Bet if it was a Whitehawk they would've found a way to give it an award and promote it... /S
Some people seem to be missing the point of this post. Which is that,on aggregate, rent has gotten far beyond the standard of living. In my market, rent for a 1200 sq ft apartment has gone up from $800 to $1500 in less than 5 years. Wages have gone up about %10. That's extortion under the lie of "market forces." That's what this post is about. If your market is doing well, great! But the inability of people to see beyond their own nose is part of what has allowed the injustices of... well, everything forever.
Things Democrats didn't clap for: A child cancer survivor being used as a political token The pointless egotistical dreams of the richest man on earth to conquer space Criminalising people by inventing crimes so they can be arrested Helping working familes do what - how? Redefining oppositions as terrorists Destroying cartels, except the biggest cartel of billionairres Have i missed anything?
Well, I think we can see the level of thinking from the various points of view. Jerzy gave us some well thought out, articulate, logical political points. Backed up by figures and data. Delivered in a detailed, yet succinct manner. I'm not sure how we can come back from that. He has convinced me completely. I'm off to buy a red hat and steal from a poor person.
Lola July, Jerzy Janeczko, Carman Davis, and RU Sirius are the actual people who got us into this mess.
Now the real question is: what would convince them they are wrong? Do we have to wait for another һolocaust before every one of them denies ever having voted for this president?
Load More Replies...It's like the USA has entered puberty and cannot handle it. What with the constant whinging, tantrums and throwing the toys out of the pram etc etc
I need a comic-strip style cartoon to go with this description.
