That actually surprises me as well. I’m impressed.
However what you presented are statistics for American citizens.
If you were to include the roughly 3 percent of people living in the USA that are undocumented, that pushes it below the 51 percent “most people” number. those 12 million people may or may not have a valid passport.
As a side point, the actual number of undocumented residents is hard to pin down. 3 percent is an estimate, but still a significant number.
I live in Texas. I know what they want to do. And they cant. The answer to all this is that they are powerless. Continue on as normal and shit post to your heart’s content.
That’s the fun thing about the Internet. Volume beats quality. Amazon and tiktok are corporate proof of this fact. It takes a good damn army to make wikipedia barely functional, and since 4chan crashed, there is an actual apocalyptic army of degens with nothing but free time and bandwidth.
as a patron and contributor to the mind sink that is the Internet, they can never beat the valueless shit show of volume that our degenerate minds can contribute.
Carry on you worthless shitlords. Magnificent bastards every one. Do your worst.
My local NPR station has already sent an email out to all it’s underwriters and sponsors about this threat.
I would say that every public radio station has little faith in Congress at this point. Having worked myself in public radio for several years, I would say that their concern is completely justified.
I’ll be increasing my donation this month. And the next.
Haha thanks. I’ll be honest. That post was made with a fair bit of unintentional inebriation, but I stand behind it. Don’t do social media and imbibe, kids. But the message maintains. I’ve got a whole lot of privilege that the world said I should be careful and mindful of. I’ve been polite and aware and I’ve sincerely tried to not abuse it. I know how my lot in life has been easier than most . But now I’m ready to take full advantage of that. Let’s fuckin go and let’s make them write more checks their asses can cash. Because collection day is very very close.
I messed up my back today putting on my shoes. I may be crippled for life now. Not sure, but it feels like it.
Is this shit why boomers are always so good damn angry? Ffs I’m 35.
I’m starting to get it. But I’m a trooper and I’m not gonna blame it on the kids just yet. I’m just an out of shape alcoholic. What do I know?
But also, they should get off my lawn and their raps music is too loud. And their haircuts make them look like a discount ear swab. /S
My lead feeder makes 75k a year. That’s more than I take home for myself. I personally sponsored him to get a visa, as I have for over 20 of my other employees over the past five years.
The lower positions take home 160 a day to start. But there is a pay scale based on time employed, and vacation days accrue and improve based on tenure.
These are my employees, but they are also my neighbors and my friends. I go to their birthday parties and their kids graduations. The quincienetas and baby showers.
I know whose hard work and sweat makes my money, and I work along side them every day. I appreciate and try to return that in kind. We are all in this world together.
I have a dairy farm. A few years ago I asked my employees if we should add a third shift and do 8 hours instead of 12. They work hard, is seemed like a reasonable idea.
They hated that I even brought it up. They want money and they want to work. I was specifically told by one of my leads that if we were to go to 8 hours, they would work a shift and a half. I’m paying over the average rate for dairy work, and everyone gets vacation days based on tenure. And 90 percent of my employees will work their vacation days and take the paycheck. They don’t want less hours. They have bills to pay and family to support and shorter hours are less money. Same as most Americans I know. I get it.
I’m not saying it is everyone, but the guys I work with have incredible work ethic and a priority to make money and get ahead in life. And I’m all for that.
What I’m tired of is my people being scared of American politics and the potential for their work and investment in this country to get ripped away on the whim of some scared Karens and the policies maga has enabled. I hate it.
P.T. Barnum in his grave getting a full on chubby for all the suckers that go for this shit
Having read the title and also the whole article… Let me say. The fuck no you can’t. Let’s get letigious or let’s get the vests. I’ve got over 200 years of jurisprecisence and the moral high road. We can skip the cultural perogative if you really want to. Or in this case you can endorse it. It doesn’t matter to me. as a cisgender white male and, and prolific gun owner, who is utterly tired of this already, let’s fuckin go. I’ve been waiting and i’ve finally got the perfect set up to tell you how many ways you can blow it out your ass.
Disgusting anti American anti constitutional blowhards all of them.
Without the personality the cult that lifts them up still exists and the ideas persist.
The word martyr exists for a reason. And sometimes a flawed martyr is even better. Because with the right methods, you can always rewrite whatever you like and ignore what you don’t. as we have so very recently learned from modern history, that fact is so much more terrifyingly effective than you could ever dream of.
