      I wish we had a brave new world, we’re getting 1984. While a brave new world was unsettling, almost every character enjoyed their lives. We’re getting “If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face-forever.”

      I know you were just using that title because it conveniently fit the sentence. I just needed to get this off my chest.

      There is a distinct class of asshat in this country who refuses to see what is going on. It isn’t limited to maga either. I’ve determined its the stupid 30%. Before the internet gave the stupid 30 a platform they were largely ignored at the local level. Now they get on and yammer out their dim bulb outlook. Lacking the ability to remember from day to day what that outlook is exactly. They spew their of the moment opinions, forgetting that they believed in the past. Its how my POS mom and dad changed from democrat to maga without changing one bigoted opinion.

    A narcissist taking something away and then giving it back is a common manipulative tactic used to control their victim[s] by creating a cycle of dependence & uncertainty.

    He will give in 90 days probably. I don’t know, or once he’s got you on his side he’ll change course and now you may feel stuck on his side. Biden also started the extention but no one will care
