Americans absolutely cannot handle minor personal inconvenience, unless it has been sold to us as “freedom.” The correct response to necessary lockdowns was “our very rich government should pay us all to stay home” but instead a bunch of people went with “I must dine out and it’s tyranny if I can’t”

it’s pretty obvious that a lot of people remember that COVID lockdowns were unpleasant and from there just extrapolate that they were therefore bad policy

want to be clear there are absolutely big differences b/t Dems & GOP, don’t ascribe to all-the-same, and that said, it’s awfully telling how many high profile Dems now profess to prefer a Republican in office than a progressive and how that appears to be driven by who is closer to their values

JK Rowling taking illegal upskirt photos of strangers and posting it on social media was on my 2026 bingo card actually because she's been telling her own followers to do it. Only question now is if she'll be treated like a billionaire or any other person who commits a crime
