Can’t wait to see the memes conservatives make with photos of empty shelves and gas lines in 2026/2027 saying “this is what the nation will look like if Dems are elected in 2028”
So just a repeat of 2024 with pictures of covid related things.
My favorite moment related to this was when someone I know posted a picture from 2003, and the insane line stretching for miles to get to the gas station that was literally by my childhood apartment. I recognized it immediately, since construction around this stretch of road has made things easy to estimate age if you grew up there as long as you can see enough buildings.
"this will be the future if OBAMA WINS! COMMUNISM MAKING BREAD LINES!"
I commented with an explanation that this picture was from 2003, in response to the US government deciding to invade the middle east again in order to get rich again. People were trying to get gas, and it made the trip home take so long that my mom my sister and I WALKED the last 3 miles, and my dad and a neighbor that walked out spent several hours slowly pushing it home. So if you want to demonstrate a communist world, DON'T USE EXAMPLES OF CAPITALISM IN ACTION
My comment was removed so I retype it, copied and pasted a few times for good measure, then the guy blocked me.
That was a fun week. Cops kept having to cut through lawns and medians to get to the gas station, where fights kept breaking out when the pumps backed up.
That was the first time I ever saw anyone draw a gun in public, too. We were getting gas one day and a line started forming, someone with a gas can walked up to a pump that someone was pulling up to and they started screaming and pushing, then the clerk came out with a shotgun and said the cops are already on their way so sit the fuck down. Shit was Fucked up.
