In that case, I’ll find something else that’s inspirational. A relaxing walk by the lake, perhaps?

Eh, I’ll just sleep through it.

It is socialism due to having a left “outlier” score on the US left-right scale.

Your attitude isn’t very inspirational.

You don’t see it…? Interesting.

Being declared a traitor by both the DNC and RNC means you are a socialist. Therefore, Mamdani is a socialist. QED.

A simple rule of thumb for you: If the powerful universally want you in a shallow grave, then you’re doing the right thing.

If you’re majorly sick, I recommend playing a visual novel. They usually do not require much movement or thinking on your part; most only need you to click your mouse or tap spacebar to advance. You can look up a VN that suits your needs here: Link If you want a VN that has a particular genre or theme I can give more specialized suggestions.

Aside from that, you can play some simple automation or puzzle games. territorial.io works well for this. shapez 2 is also a good option.

I personally stick to searching by specific tags to find the hidden good stuff.

2016 Me felt exactly this way.

• Trump would talk about the deep state and establishment plotting to sink his campaign. And it definitely looked like both parties wanted him gone until Ted Cruz dropped out.
• 2016 Me thought that Trump would eliminate the offshoring of American jobs. I’m sure we all know how bad the job market is, especially today. People claiming that Trump is a bigot made 2016 Me believe that the Dems weren’t seeing the bigger picture, and was told by the Democrat establishment that opposing offshoring is inherently racist.
• I actually did attend a Trump rally in 2016 since I really wanted to see and hear the man for myself. This rally in particular. However, the rally was cancelled because Bernie supporters ruined it. That was a line in the sand moment for 2016 Me. “If the Democrats are willing to send people to infiltrate rallies for the sole purpose of shutting them down, then Trump must be in the right”.
• People forget, but the Republican establishment early in Trump’s campaign really wanted him gone. Seeing them capitulate and agree with MAGA was incredibly satisfying. I’m sure progressive voters would feel the same way if a progressive movement supplanted the current DNC.
• I loved the guy’s performance during the debates. He made the establishment candidates extremely flustered and was funny while doing it. I still remember the time in one debate where Rubio was unsure of what to say in response to “Little Marco”, and replied with “Big Don” instead.

It became clear after he became president that Trump didn’t actually care for the little man, so I stopped supporting him. I’ve been third party ever since.

I’m pretty sure a lot of people are going to starve when the just in time supply chain shuts down.

I would approve. The government shutdown was serving my interests.

Oh I think some in the US are delusional enough to think they can take the entire world.

When things are bad for the average person, the average person will tend to vote against the incumbent. So it’s not because they’re Republicans, but because they’re in charge when things are going bad.

The populace will swing back to voting Republican when the Dems are back in power. It’s the way of things, since things appear to be going bad for everyone, and this looks like it will be the case for awhile.

I like to believe that one’s 30s is old age.

A truly memorable story! I remember the tale of Jesus jumping down from the cross, jumpstarting his campaign to overthrow the Roman Empire. The greatest lesson to learn from Jesus is that mercy is a weakness.

(This is based off the “The Inquisitor” universe where Christianity is openly based off of cruelty against one’s enemies)

I can still see it. Weird.

The thing I replied to says, “That would only be true if most people couldn’t think for themselves and it was possible to spend money to influence their opinion”.

Don’t know. What got deleted?

Exactly.
