For me, it was realizing that while I was smart, the shit level of schooling was more an impediment to me gaining the skills needed to continue excelling and I continue to be surrounded by absolute dipshits wherever I go.

In school, I didn't have to study to pass and there was no real incentive to learn how to. This bit me when it came to university because the lectures didn't cover everything that was to be tested on. Turns out, trying is a skill I never needed until then.

Then, in the workforce, I'm constantly exhausted dealing with people who are at best functionally literate and I have to cater to their understanding of literally everything. No desire to either understand the problem or fix the root cause, just make the thing do what they want right then.

So are we just ignoring the take that this looks very much like extortion or is that just so obvious it's not worth talking about

Not technically alone but if he had advanced enough in the disease, he would probably not notice that anything has happened...

I believe this would be a good definition for gallows humor

You may hate to be rude but I don't. What's happening to them is exactly what they voted for and praised. What's happening to them is exactly what they were told would happen to them if things went this direction.

I do not pity the person who voted for the leopard eating faces party and becomes a face that gets eaten.

Hey wait, wasn't this exactly what they said Soros was doing

That may be, but he's not brown and he's rich so it's ok

Add Steve Wozniak to the list of the ones to be protected. The Woz has done more to pull people up and we should all aspire to that level if we ever have the means.

All votes should matter. Thanks to gerrymandering and the electoral college rules, not a lot actually do

Specifically for president. They absolutely matter for local elections.

In TX, Theodore "I left my dog snowflake at home while the state was freezing and without power for a family trip to Cancun then blamed my wife and children for the trip" Cruz is currently up for defeat.

He only just barely won against Beto O'rourke last time. Colin Allred is closing in and needs all the help he can get.
