Here are some direct (fr I am not exaggerating AT ALL) quotes I overheard from the group of older (white) men discussing the election at the coffee shop while watching lectures lol
“And the lgbt…they want this and that…”
“And we need to separate them into their own church bc it’s going off the rails with the gay features!”
“They are constantly complaining. Look, money has been tight for me too before! And my dad always said, you just need to budget better.”
“Did you hear? At the Kamala Harris rally, she said that we don’t allow Christians here. Well, not those words exactly. But her message was clear. No Christians allowed.“
Thx for the bangers guys

I genuinely think most Americans want a better society where everyone is cared for. The problem lies with the very rich telling the very poor that the only way to achieve this is by exclusion, e.g. some people don’t deserve to be better off. This creates a divided country where rather than everyone being deserving of an all around better life, folks lean into the deep running individualism that permeates American culture.
When the very rich control the political decisions, the media narrative, and a majority of the capitol, it’s a slow motion train wreck at the expense of the people and the environment.
I think the general vibe is, disappointed but not surprised.
TLDR: “Yo chat am I cooked?” “You’re burnt toast on a 110 degree day”.

💰like hoooooly shit, the various things people like peter thiel, curtis yarvin, and their circles (including musk) say sound so insane because they are fucking insane people. but I feel like I sound insane when I'm like no like they've publically said they want corporate cities ran by billionaires where we're all their slaves and the people who aren't good enough workers will be turned into bio fuel (and the people behind these ideas are backing/heavily influencing people in office and creating surveillance companies and brain chips and shit but that's a whole other post)

⭐u could ask them about the shortcomings of their economic/practical policy, e.g.
1. why is it that countries known to have a better quality of life (e.g. nordic countries, canada, etc.) tend to have more liberal/social democratic economic policies? 2. why do states that rank higher on prosperity, education, mental health care and other important metrics tend to be bluer while states that rank the lowest are often the reddest? 3. how can the usa compete with china's impressive infrastructure without equally committed investment in transit/cities? 4. why are murder rates on average higher in florida/texas than california/new york? 5. given that the last two republican presidents cut taxes without offsetting spending cuts, is that approach sustainable and how would it work with today's interest rates? (stole the last two from twitter)
