This is exactly why I made the remark about my local Texas polling locations being effectively "republican safe havens". I've become an atheist over the years even though I was raised under very strong southern baptist overtones. I could walk into the crazy church where my grandmother lived take that dude aside, and say hey everything I was taught here was a lie god was bullocks and jesus loving all the little kids regardless of there skin color... That dude..probably passed anyway but when I think of that church I'm sure probably decades of people all races still respect him and his family as the heads... more or less, but I don't hate christians philosophy in entirety. I know he'd just say something like I believe you, and I understand. My faith comes from bringing people together, and all the different walks of life I've brought together... The fucking christians feeling their religous freedoms are coming into question make me want to slap the living shit out of them for people that are still christians tldr version. Shit makes me furious.

Ok that's where I have to admit some uncertainty with the entirety of the whole midterm outcome because I've been knee deep in my own fucked state for one my bad....Dems do win majority of the senate..barely? I'm looking at polls half tipsi in my defense, but yeah for one party to have majority of senate their would need to be 51 in that party ok I think I get that much now after looking at my cbs link again but meh. Great news, but after watching so many congressional hearings with Trump as pres..psssh. Idk... senators and congress flip flopping all over the place unexpectedly. Lol I get it now though thanks. This basically puts democrats in the same place republicans were when basically everyone wanted Trump tarred and feathered, but the senate saved him right.. Am I wrong in saying just a couple of senators going against their parties wishes for whatever reason makes that null anyway though? Whatever I guess.. As someone that wouldn't give a fuck about politics anyway if the last like decade hadn't persuaded me otherwise it still doesn't seem that impressive of a win for democrats, but if you guys say so ok.

Sigh.. I'm not sure how we are having a failure to communicate either. Basically this. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/why-the-presidents-party-almost-always-has-a-bad-midterm/ and maybe the post where I quoted you somehow led you to believe I was confused about the history and social norms held over midterms?

Just saying it's not looking like democrats are gonna hold the majority of congress when I cross reference all these fucking polls and your post seemed to put odds in the republicans favor as well but whatevs. There's still unfinished business either way. I get there's a democratic president but from what I've been led to believe midterms ALWAYS favor the opposing party of the administration in office so...? Whatever nevermind.

So in other words the odds are still pretty much in favor of a replublican congressional majority even though most of the media is firing out reports of a blue... idk what you would call it anyway, but wave doesn't describe either party for sure. Polls don't look anywhere near as celebratory for democrats as a lot of news pieces I've been snacking on have suggested though I agree. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/election-2022-results-house-senate-congress-control/

They're elephants they'll stomp it out themsleves...

I didn't really allow myself to look at the damn ordinance on the ballot, and jammed the button to vote against pretty fast since I believe it even showed the amount and demo of those for and against at that point for whatever reason..The topic was repealling ordinances granting abortion rights and making my city..At least I hope just the city a 'safe haven for the unborn'... I felt good that I had a print out of all the shit I voted for at the digital polls then a lady said she needed the print out to run through another machine before the vote was counted. I jest, but for a minute there a felt like my all dem ballot was probably just getting ran through a shredder at that point.. When your polling locations are literal republican safe havens.. I really wish they'd allow or provide a print out of your ballot if were gonna start bounty hunting women looking for abortions...(not what that shit even read it was vague as hell, and just plainly said repeal this blah blah blah number ordinance to make this a safe haven for the unborn please blah blah blah).. Maybe it was the senate bill 8 thing not even sure though since I got kind of pissed about the way it read and just slammed against..

A lot of republicans financially benefit from their founding goals though which were to keep Trump from a second term, and to weed out and undermine the weirdest of the weirdos tht came out in droves with him so they could cut out that literal cancer from being affiliated with the party. People like insurrectionists, Mike Lindell...I'm not going to spend all night and part of next year trying to name all the names, but when you realize a lot of them are former republicans anyway it doesn't seem as weird at least to me.

Guess we can expect way more politicians 'tweeting' their damn decrees as well with Elon in charge because nobody else except politicians are really going to give a fuck enough to pay 8 dollars a month to distinguish themselves from a troll..I mean I say that and KNOW it's not true as someone that's always scoffed at the platform anyway, but then proceeded to watch every fucking major corp jump on for some extra branding.. So much shit to think about these days either way smh..

It's hard to say I wouldn't have chimed into that shit.. I remember Detroid Red and seeing the user online back in those days too. So I probably just read the thread or threads, and was like...this fool serious...Idk wtf? Fight tour for me as a kid growing up in west Texas was like literally everyday anyway so I probably just scoffed at it.... and I wish I wasn't dead serious..

I heard about your 'fight tour' stuff on tinychat from people when you werent around. I think certain people mentioned it quite a bit on the discord when you werent around either. If that was pod6 shit which it had to be if it's old asmb lore I probably tldr'd it because in the asmb days I was like age 15-23ish.. 🤨 Weird to think about because I was probably most active in the asmb when I was like 18-21... At least a year or two of that activity was me posting from Iraq. 💩

In a massive turn of events nobody anywhere could of predicted Beto lost to Greg Abbott by a pretty considerable margin.. 🙄 His final numbers are still impressive as hell for a democrat running in Texas, but meh... I had no intentions of holding on to a pipe dream anyway. He still got my vote. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/08/us/politics/abbott-wins-texas-gov.html https://www.fox4news.com/election/beto-orourke-concession-speech-im-in-this-fight-for-life

The analog clocks in my house are pretty much just decorations anyway..All those things are still an hour ahead at this point.

Vote Beto unless your afraid the handgun you inherited from your father that you've probably only used when he said 'here be a man' at the range after all the M4 rounds were gone..Because as a vet amongst other things when Beto said fuck your AR 15s I do or I did friggin agree. There is a difference. Can a firiing pin from a non-automatic weapon be modified to turn it to the fromer? Hmmm I wonder....🙄

Man it's just like lol.... This absolute character of a specimen is my governor... https://www.kcra.com/article/migrants-in-sacramento-unknown-who-paid-for-flights/41254027# https://www.texastribune.org/2022/09/22/migrant-busing-abbott-desantis/ ^click the bottom one first prolly let me review....

Was gonna make an eleborate post kinda talking about our active internet era, but fuck that idk... Had it alll typed out but meh... The same questions hits me. WHY? Idk... Political shit why vote... I didn't mind that shit when it was a bit more trivial I guess... but I think I have to say if MOTHERFUCKERS keep turning themselves out in my state over Roe, over migrants...lol. etc. /something. Been past going real I guess dunno what to say even. Fuck those people it's hard to believe they actually exist, but yeah they do.... apparently...

Meh. These are just such uncertain times. Fighting my overarching pessimist psyche to make feel good posts on the internet is definitely not working for me anymore either guys. I'm sorry.

Need more beer...send help/

I'd tell you not to make shit responses, but that would put you out of business... Then why don't you stay the fuck out of my shit threads!

Then don't ask shit questions.

Karen.

The youtuber in the op is just trolling obviously, as a regular viewer of his I know 98% of his content is sarcasm and irony, but apparently he recieved a lot of hilarious gen z backlash in tik tok comments so he made an even more facetious response video.

No one likes a shower pisser Seinfeld already covered this issue.
