It's so easy to push the hate button in people... and the GOP is doing it for profit and power. They're preying on the weak minded to carry out their agenda to further their goals. Gun violence might well be the undoing of America. It's frightening. (PS Fuck the gun lobby.)
When my Dad and his generation fought WWII, they came home thinking that they had eliminated the Nazi menace. Now it's all coming back. There aren't many left from the "Greatest Generation ". We've lost institutional memory of why they fought. Now we face the same menace, only this time it's from within. Honor them by standing up to this madness.
And yet these folks literally worship at the alter of firearms such as that Moonie preacher who wears a crown of bullets while preaching and all the members of the congregation have AR’s...in church...let that sink in... Another data point, these gun folks literally believe every word of the 2nd Amendment, cause originalist ya know... But when it comes to the 14th Amendment, the one about barring citizens from running for office because of insurrection they feign ignorance, or what aboutism... Truly dense, uneducated response designed to make the liberals cry... Thanks for what you do Jeff.
This is excellent, reading this really made my morning cup of coffee intriguing. The hate machine is real and the right will keep feeding it., until they become the mass killing...
I am so fucking sick of this continuing insanity in this shithole country...when nothing changed after a classroom of 6 year old children were slaughtered, I knew nothing would ever change...what could be worse than that, and sure enough, nothing changed and nothing will change...and the absolute insane thought that that is somehow the price we have to pay for our "rights" to own military grade assault weapons, is beyond words...and this uniquely 'Murican epidemic just gets worse and worse...I see myself living out my latter years in another country as I don't know how much more of this shit I can watch...too many stupid afraid hateful white morons in this country, living shallow meaningless lives and worshipping guns...and I for one am sick to fucking death of it
When you ask me why I think the 2nd Amendment is outdated? My response is “because fuck you that’s why.” The right-wing hate machine likes to say we are the greatest country on earth but mass shootings put a terrible strain on that phrase.
I am bitter, too, Jeff. This issue of the proliferation of weapons has been crawling up my sleeve since the 1960's! I used to think that the populace was drowning in Westerns and cop shows that ended in shootings and other violence. But it's not just the entertainment we subject ourselves to; it's the very culture we live in. Rectal individuals toting long guns at Walmart and at libraries are trying to intimidate us. In the slave states, they're out to make unlicensed concealed carry a thing. Why bother arguing if you have a weapon? Why put the time in to reason with your fellow humans? You can just plug 'em and plant 'em like a TV cowboy!
One wonders if this fever of hatred is ever going to break, all because your own life is shitty and you have no kind answers and no intelligent introspection. I hate to say it, but they've spread the hate. I hate them.
They’re making these monsters every second of every day and we’re going to see more of them as time goes on! The MAGA cult, in itself, is the ultimate monster machine! Free speech doesn’t equate to free hate rhetoric, however, this appears to be the new normal for our country. There’s days I have to step back from social media because I get so angry & tired of the hate/racist comments I receive from a lot of people. I don’t allow myself to be too angry or sensitive to what is being said because of my multi-racial background.
Here’s a little story: People tend to see me based on the color of my skin, however, that’s just one coating my identity (a.k.a. cake frosting as I call it). I’m noticeably Black, I’m indigenous, and finally White; all wrapped up in one! My families journeys, under all of their cultures, were difficulties, that only strengthened me when I feel the pressure of today’s world, especially when it comes to the hate machine!
Would any of you believe that; along with my multi-culture background that my ancestors were part of the first 80 slaves to be brought to the United States? Well we were and there’s nothing to be proud about knowing this fact.
With all that said; we can’t erase what happened in the past, however, we have the ability to make our future better! So, I’m going to continue to work on that future because I know we will evolve into a better society/world! Have a wonderful day! 🙏🏾💙

This is a keeper. It says it all and should be worked into an ad to vote Dem.
On the other hand how are you ever going to edit down to a reasonable size “This Year in Stupid’?

May the universe have mercy on us all....😪🤬

Kind of saw that coming with the coronation of Kyle Rittenhaus.
This should be an annual article.

I’m sick of the Gun Nuts R Us lobby
I’m sick of the RWNJ Congress
I’m sick of states loosening laws
I’m sick about mass killings
I’m sick about mass shooters
I will never be sick of hearing about gun idiots that accidentally but literally shoot themselves in the foot, arm, leg.

I was just thinking of the term "wingnut" this morning...

The negative messaging needs to stop. Peace and love please!
