Just a typical libertarian up in arms about some message board fodder and unconcerned about deployment of the U.S. Military in American cities. lol

How long do you think it will take for concern to lead to real action beyond polite protest and snarky signage?

Considering that the majority of Americans support it or are indifferent (which at this point is support), what would that look like? What would you propose? If a million people marched on Washington demanding change and the military mowed them all down, well over 100M other Americans would laugh gleefully and thank their dear leader. The election was the turning point, the majority chose this, there is no going back.

yeah, whenever i feel a glimmer of hope i remind myself...

the cruelty, the stupidity, the destruction, the grift, the tackiness, the sheer disgusting grossness of it all, everything...

this is what the majority of my fellow citizens want. they voted for this with a clear, written plan right in front of them.

so...fuck it. this is America. we are exactly who history and the world always thought we were.

I refuse to believe it’s an actual majority that wants this absolute horse shit. 

Wants it.  Is just fine with it.  Will go along with it because hey, finally those dirty mexicans are getting what's coming to them.  It's a stewpot of motivations.  But they're all shitty.

Accept that the majority of Americans are pieces of shit.  It's an unpleasant fact, but it's a fact nonetheless.

I don’t think it’s a majority that want it, but combine the ones that do want it with those that shrug their shoulders or don’t pay attention and walla 

This. I have a co-worker that voted for lower prices. We don’t have lower prices. Shoulder shrug and “he’s better than Harris” is his response. He’s upper middle white guy in Cypress in a $1M home. None of this affects him at all, so why would he give a shit outside of being a decent human? The market stays rolling - all is good in his backyard.

I accept it as reality and just root for climate change.

Sounds more like he voted against a black woman.

He needs a swift kick to the nuts. I'm in Cypress and have a well worn in pair of Copa Mundials (irony is not lost here) to get the job done.

If your in the Towne Lake / Bridgeland areas, you’re terribly outnumbered. MAGAs all over that area. He’s one of many. It’s not as bad as my neighborhood where Gov wheels did his door knocking bullshit, but it’s close.

And nary a thought about J6 or the subsequent congressional hearings?

It appears most people just drift through life assuming that our system of government is a given and nothing will upend it.

Nope.

My BIL works in construction out at different plants around the country. Most of the people he interacts with have no clue what’s going on beyond a headline here and there. They get up, go to work, bullshit about conspiracies and whatever else catches their attention and go home. The avg American doesn’t have time or care enough or have the intelligence to actually understand jack shit on a national / global scale.

There were guys that hated Biden working on the TSMC project FUNDED BY the CHIPS act.

I really, really wish he had come to Houston and knocked on my door

Goddamn, man. What do you suggest we do about this menace that you previously dismissed and minimized?

There is no way to fight that. It's like when my father responding to me with "Joe Biden is a rapist" when I pointed out what Trump is.

Vivek is such an asshole. He posted this shit on Christmas Eve, taking a dump all over everything American (prom, sports, sleepovers, friends) and told everyone they need to be strivers who look at the gargoyle band director in Whiplash as a role model. He hates everything about college football but shows up in a fresh of the rack jersey and the rubes will vote for him for governor.

The reason top tech companies often hire foreign-born & first-generation engineers over “native” Americans isn’t because of an innate American IQ deficit (a lazy & wrong explanation). A key part of it comes down to the c-word: culture. Tough questions demand tough answers & if we’re really serious about fixing the problem, we have to confront the TRUTH: Our American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long (at least since the 90s and likely longer). That doesn’t start in college, it starts YOUNG. A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers. A culture that venerates Cory from “Boy Meets World,” or Zach & Slater over Screech in “Saved by the Bell,” or ‘Stefan’ over Steve Urkel in “Family Matters,” will not produce the best engineers. (Fact: I know *multiple* sets of immigrant parents in the 90s who actively limited how much their kids could watch those TV shows precisely because they promoted mediocrity…and their kids went on to become wildly successful STEM graduates). More movies like Whiplash, fewer reruns of “Friends.” More math tutoring, fewer sleepovers. More weekend science competitions, fewer Saturday morning cartoons. More books, less TV. More creating, less “chillin.” More extracurriculars, less “hanging out at the mall.” Most normal American parents look skeptically at “those kinds of parents.” More normal American kids view such “those kinds of kids” with scorn. If you grow up aspiring to normalcy, normalcy is what you will achieve. Now close your eyes & visualize which families you knew in the 90s (or even now) who raise their kids according to one model versus the other. Be brutally honest. “Normalcy” doesn’t cut it in a hyper-competitive global market for technical talent. And if we pretend like it does, we’ll have our asses handed to us by China. This can be our Sputnik moment. We’ve awaken from slumber before & we can do it again. Trump’s election hopefully marks the beginning of a new golden era in America, but only if our culture fully wakes up. A culture that once again prioritizes achievement over normalcy; excellence over mediocrity; nerdiness over conformity; hard work over laziness. That’s the work we have cut out for us, rather than wallowing in victimhood & just wishing (or legislating) alternative hiring practices into existence. I’m confident we can do it.
