Our only chance to return to something approaching normalcy was the use of the power of the state to swiftly and heavily punish everyone involved. We’re doing the exact opposite, and the fascists have rightly concluded it is a terminal free roll.

Agreed + Manifest Destiny. More plausible story is that we were the ones brainwashed during our childhoods that America is better than it’s history clearly indicates and that the arch of the moral universe is long but bends towards justice and shit.

More straightforward story is people in America arguably behaved a little better from from the 1970s to around 2001, and have been reverting back to form since.

Except with Trump is was all that but with more prideful ignorance. As bad as all the prior American conservative governments were, they were distinguishable from Idiocracy.

In some ways Idiocracy is better than traditional conservatism. Just today, George W Bush came out of the woodworks to oppose Afghanistan withdrawal.

Has anything useful come of a congressional investigation in the last two decades that I’m not aware of?

Recent antitrust report, torture report. I’m sure there’s more.

Is that the state that Trump gave the mob call too?

The desire to return to normalcy is what motivates people like Joe Manchin. We should be striving to establish a new “normal”.

There are 9 Democratic/Independent senators older than her.

15 of 50 were born before 1950.

I’m gonna have a big fuckin laff when the maricopa county gop vice secretary tells Nancy to fuck off

I was watching the news the other day and was wondering why NH hadn’t legalized it yet despite it being legal in each neighboring state. So much for live free or die I guess.

NH is the Texas of New England

That’s pretty accurate. Northern Maine might have it beat though.

Let’s do some basic game theory

Excuse me, we’re called CANADA.

I get they’re old, but wouldn’t they have come of age in the sixties? 74 would put at 20 in 1967, right in the wheelhouse of the hippy sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll era. These aren’t the WWII generation

My dad (59) still smokes weed and thinks it should’ve been legalized a long time ago
