They say wars are God's way of teaching geography to americans; could it be that DoGE is His way of teaching civics?

  Apparently a lot of Trump voters searched "how to change my vote" online right after the election, so yeah. And I wonder how all of the Democrats who sat the vote out because Harris wasn't anti-zionist enough are going to feel when Trump sends troops in to help defend Israel from the few Palestinians still alive.

    > "how to change my vote" I found this difficult to believe, but it does show up in Google Trends: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=2024-11-05%202024-11-11&geo=US&q=%22how%20to%20change%20my%20vote%22&hl=en https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=2024-11-05%202...

      Apparently Trump voters were unaware of basic facts like "Obamacare" and the ACA being the same thing. Immigrant voters are just now becoming aware of plans for mass deportation and removing birthright citizenship. Parents are realizing that closing the Department of Education would actually affect their children. They just thought "Biden made the prices go up, Trump will make them come back down." He won't, though. Those tariffs they voted for will only make things worse, because companies will just pass the cost on to consumers, and start laying off employees.

    I saw a meme before the election that said something to the effect that an election is public transportation, not a marriage proposal. You're not trying to find "the one" with whom you intend to spend the rest of your life. You're just trying to find the bus that goes closest to where you want to go. You don't not take the journey because the bus may make you walk a couple of blocks to get where you're going at the end.

      I wouldn’t want to go where this bus is going.
