Focus on something that actually matters, like healthcare, cost of living, police violence, reducing the military budget so there is money for schools or infrastructure. There are many issues that actually have an effect on peoples lives, national debt is not one of them. And if you focus on national debt republicans will actually win more votes because they are the issue owner.

Yes let’s focus on the national debt: famous winning issue for progressives.

Or is the goal to catch republicans on hypocrisy? I thought it was clear by now that the republican base literally doesn’t care so long as there is a hooting tooting demagogue that triggers Democrats in the White House.

The point is, there is no rules based order. The rules only apply to the global south, the US has explicitly stated they will bomb or invade The Netherlands if the ICC ever prosecutes a US citizen. It’s just another cynical tool of power projection.

South Park X Mini Metro

I let chatgpt give it a try:

Picture Stan and Kyle trying to reach a concert but getting stuck on a constantly shifting Mini Metro map. Meanwhile, Cartman exploits the subway's limited resources, creating his own underground empire. As the chaos unfolds, Kenny finds himself in a loop, endlessly riding the subway due to a glitch. The boys must navigate quirky station challenges, encountering Mini Metro power-ups and obstacles while interacting with classic South Park characters in the subway madness.

Very cursed.

I’m very curious to all non Dutch speakers what they think ‘dwangwet’ means.

Sure I'll bite, I'm still very interested in how my response confirms any of your casual observations. But just to be clear, I genuinely find it distasteful to make fun of people with bad teeth, especially in a country without universal health care.

Edit: And yes I think it is cynical to some extend, Taylor Swift is incredibly competent at marketing and nurturing her brand, and I personally suspect that she would drop the gay community in a second if she fears that it will hurt her brand. I might be wrong in this, but then again it's just a silly meme.

Please elaborate how my response confirms any of your "casual observations". I don't even live in the US let alone in a rural area. And even if I did, I find it kind of distasteful to call people that live in economically deprived regions stupid, and on top of that insult them for the fact that they can't afford dental. I am sorry that I hit a nerve by involving Taylor Swift in a meme but I see no need to casually insult the poor as a response.

Well you got me there, my master plan revealed. And I would have gotten away with starting a giant rift and breaking the fabric of democracy itself if it wasn't for Ultragramps (which I will assume is a combination of Uber Mensch and Racist Grandpa \s).

But good use of Cunningham's Law in action, so here we go. This is a parody on Taylors cynical use of gay iconography so she will be perceived as a Gay Icon™ allowing her to afford more flights on her private jet. I don't know since when making lighthearted fun of Taylor Swift is racist trolling but sure. Also yes Ozymandias: the famous symbol of white power and racism \s.

Edit: for anyone worrying about the Qanon allegations I would invite them to read the reverenced comment for themselves:

Gates is just as evil as Musk, he is just better at it. Gates played a pivotal role in making sure the vaccine’s stayed under patent. Even when American farma didn’t have the capacity to produce enough and Indian factories had over capacity. The irony is that he did this using his position in the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, that tells you all you need to know about billionaire philanthropy.

Some brainstorming on the name is still required it seems, Buxit?
