At least the libs are offering help, which we know from the recently unsealed documents that Trump would not be doing for states that didn't vote for him.

That would be the large subset who are victims of propaganda. I refuse to believe that such a large percentage of the country would actually be as awful as they seem if it wasn't for the propaganda machine doing its thing.
I guess it’s that time of day to come to grips that the USA is ok with this.
A relatively small subset of people are okay with this as long as it continues to keep them in power and make them rich, another small subset of people are okay with this as long as it continues to be targeted exclusively at people they don't like, and a relatively large subset of people are victims of propaganda and media saturation. Let's put the blame where it belongs.
The dumbest thing about this is, doesn't the Trump bible only contain the parts of the constitution that they like, and omit others? So if the requirement is that it contains "the Constitution", does the Trump bible even really qualify?
I'd actually be interested to see a cost breakdown between this and just buying a newspaper subscription; it looks like he spent about $100 on materials, plus then there's the ongoing costs of electricity (negligible), printer ribbons, and paper. Ribbons appear to be about $1 / ea if you buy in bulk, and I don't recall how much printing you get out of a single ribbon, but let's assume a 24 pack is enough to last you a year. Paper seems to be about $30 / 1000 sheets, so assuming he sticks to the single-page-per-day format, that'll last almost 3 years.
So up front costs, $100 Ongoing costs, $35 / year, roughly.
Newspaper subscription is about $150 / year, so this'll actually be cost effective if he keeps it up. Of course, you're getting a lot less news than you would from a newspaper subscription, so the relative value is questionable there.
Some US states that keep enacting highly unpopular anti-trans, anti-woke, sexist, racist legislation are doing it in an effort to get left-aligned people to move away and not consider going there, with the goal of skewing elections in their favor.
I swear some of those long-form video essays on games have longer runtimes than it would take to just play through the game from start to finish, but that's okay, I'm still here for it. Love me some excruciatingly in-depth analysis of video game minutia.
He already stated that he has no intention of doing so. Hopefully he sticks with that.
Are you... seriously advocating for vandalizing Ferraris here? What the fuck?
What they're doing is fundamentally harmless. You do realize that these paintings are behind glass, yeah? It's not like they're throwing soup directly onto canvases. They're damaging museum glass at worst. The dollar amount of the damage is relatively minor, the whole point is civil disobedience and to draw media attention.
This is pretty much it. They say the shipping companies' profits have skyrocketed in recent years and that their wages have been stagnating, so they're looking for a large pay raise to both take the high profits into account, and to account for inflation. Seems very reasonable to me.
Just in case you're legitimately confused, before this post gets removed, too: This is not the right community for that sort of question. That's why it's being removed.
