Their own Kim Jong-Il and I saw a convincing video yesterday that they're priming one of his sons to be the next president which is amazing. That means they'll get their very own Kim Jong Un next! They wanted to build the wall and separate American from the rest of the world in a bubble with no outside social media and they're gonna get just that!

I didn’t realize this was a thing for groceries 2 hours ago, PartySick said: Oh yeah, my family did it when I was a kid. My grandpa would go to cash advance or whatever it's name was and take out a loan to buy food and then pay them off once he got his disability check and whatever vet benefits he got I've always thought it was dumb. Like, for every $500 you borrow you have to pay them back $550, why would you ever, just be hungry for a month and stop burning that extra $50 I've seen ads for the "paychecks in advance" stuff though so I guess a lot of people do it The part of the city in the suburb I live in is absolutely saturated with those sharp loan places. "Money mart", "cash 4 you", "cash money". The interest rates are absolutely predatory, once you take out a loan ur in a death downward spiral that is hard to get out out of I only ever met one person I know of that was open about using them. But the fact that theres so many in the same main street tells me a lot of people are using them and that theres high demand Theres a lot of poverty, homelessness, prostitution to make ends meet, unemployment or minimum wage earners, drug use etc where I live. Not to mention overcrowded poorly maintained rental places cuz ppl try to split rent with many people so they can afford it Its actually hearbreakingly sad. A few weeks ago I saw a guy eating out of the trash can The economic decline in the last 15 years of the middle class (but especially the bottom 30%) is absolutely stagering. Poverty (at least in this part of Canada) used to be something a few unlucky ones faced. Now, its like over 1/3 of ppl struggle just to eat and keep their roof over their head Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe this is the first time in our history there have been protests in all 50 states at the same time. All we can do now is try and hope, however bleak it is.

They won’t care because they’re brainwashed and basically in a cult, but at least they’ll be suffering too lol I saw a pretty convincing TikTok where the girl explained that a lot of trump's followers are doing a 'silent quitting' currently. Because they're so stubborn they will never admit they were wrong in the slightest, or even come out and say they've changed their minds on him, but that it's happening quietly. His core base is shrinking as they lose faith. All the commenters were telling stories of their hardcore neighbours taking down his signs in the middle of the night or their father's quietly starting to watch CNN instead of Fox but not saying anything, their brothers not wearing their MAGA hats anymore and their once-obsessed relatives just happening to not speak about him anymore when they talk. God I hope it's really true. It does make sense though that even if they changed their minds on him they would never admit it or tell a soul so that gives me a tiny glimmer of faith. Just sucks that a US presidency term is FOUR YEARS I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Korea 2 This just made me realize that the MAGA cult is gonna respond to his death in the same way brainwashed people in North Korea were reacting to Kim Jong-Ils. They will be bawling and flooding the streets in memoriam for him. Even worse, regardless of whether his death is by natural causes or not, there will be conspiracies that "tHe LEfT dId iT."
