You would have to be extremely evil to be a far comparison to any other bank.

Thats impressive.

For a lot of trump supporters, this is why they voted for him. He gave them a licence to be racist and sexist and bigoted, etc.

Al the things trump is, they are. And him being in office legitemises them. It makes them feel "heard" instead of "opressesed."

Granted (of course) hate speech and any form of misogyny or predjudice (all of the above) should be illegal. It should be "oppressed." But from their perspective, they aren't allowed to be what they are, and trump makes them feel like they can.

Its a devastating realisation that i came to whilst watching those trump rally videos where the comedians go and interview the attendees with the aim being ro let them mock themselves by being caught out in a web of contradiction.

When the interviewers say biden did x y z terrible things and the trump simps say "yeah because biden is terrible and an awful person and should be in jail" but then they pull the rug and say, "sorry, i read the wrong but, that was trump who did those things"

When faced with the fact that trump is the one who did all the awful things they suddely switch over like they are bipolar and say, oh well trump is perfect so i dont care that he did those things. Or trump had a reason that made it ok. Or oh, i did t know he did that, but im still gonna vote for him.

I didn't fly on a plane until i was nearly 30. Dont know if you are in the US, but outside of the US, it's less common to fly anywhere. high speed rail between countries in europe, UK is small enough to drive anywhere, boats and eurostar train to get from UK to Europe. Euro tunnel if you want to take your car to europe.

It's got the same energy, but i would argue it's worse. I dont know why, but this feels much worse, and i voted to remain. I have such disdain for those who voted leave. But trump as president and all the shit he is already planning to pull, i just feel like a lot more bad stuff is going to happen because of this, and its reach will be father than brexit.

Isn't john oliver a political satirist? Isn't his whole thing politics?

Who would you have take the role of pleading with people to vote a certain way?

The coastguard, perhaps?

Most right wingers think their views are legitimate because the right wing exists as the direct opposition to the left. But i think that view is warped.

We need to start considering right wingers as extremists and not the opposition. They should be outliers on a spectrum where the left is much more central and the right is much more to the extreme right

|----------------------------------------left wing----‐-----center----------------------------------------right wing--------|

Like that

They think their views are as right as ours are left. If they were, they would likely be welcome here.

Say what you like but people have been screaming for a ff7 remake ever since ff10. I think thats too soon to count as nostalgia. We just wanted ff7 to look like ff10.

Fair points! Elon is already likely to go down in history, but not for good reasons.
