This is what the American people voted for. They voted to give their money away to people who don't need it.

We've been warning people of this for more than 8 years now, trying to soften the blow. At some point we gotta realize that protecting these people might not actually be helping, it might just be enabling the grift by providing convenient cover.

Maybe we ought to just step aside and let these voters suffer the full consequences of their actions. Democrats need to learn that unlike them, many people only learn about consequences by experiencing them.

Sure, many others who voted against will suffer the consequences too. What are we going to do about it? This is how democracy is designed to work.

Less surveillance and death machines back then. Resistance will be harder.

And yet Trump is the party of more and cronyism. Not less.

The is just more of the "drain the swamp" con. People didn't learn.

Pound for pound, the CFM output of vacuums doesn't come close to the CFM of leaf blowers. Probably because of the lack of filtration. And I guess that's the point. Why filter material the wind would just kick up in the air naturally anyway? This is a waste of energy and time. Obviously if you are blowing material that normally wouldn't be outdoors for the wind to blow around naturally, that's a different story.

I will admit, the sound is really annoying though.

Not voting is an act of renouncing your voice and your rights. It's not a protest. It's at best complicity with the status quo, and at worst going to support a candidate that will be far far worse for the issues you are "protesting". You don't get to complain when you don't vote. All you get to do is sit down, shut up, and continue your inaction.

That's too kind. I'd like to read about him in an orange jump suit.

In a democracy, you only get a voice if you vote. Voting IS the protest. When you don't vote, or spoil your vote, you abdicate your voice.

In an alternate universe, conmen Trump and Musk used their sole talent of convincing fools to wear masks.
