Democrats used to be the conservative party before Nixon (my timing might be off) said “Hold my beer” and turned the Republicans into the regressive Christian theocracy it is today.

So, the civil war thing doesn’t really count because it was a different party with different ideals under the same name.

I know you’re right, but I’m willing to let the use of sub slide, because we all know what it means and community is such a long word.

Like, “Why’s your face so stupid?!”

Does Tom Hanks count? He might beat Jorda ln in fame but Hanks isn’t quite the same as Hank.

Is Jackson a “first” name? Sure, I understand that some people use it as a first name, but I would say someone named Jackson Smith has two last names.

Michael Jordan though, that’s legit.

I am Joe’s intestinal tract.

What did you buy the Doge at? Mines up 200%

I have a Taoist reading suggestion for you.

The Tao of Pooh

Turns out, Winnie the Pooh (from the original literature) embodies a lot of Taoist principles, and this book explains the parallels. My brother read it a long time ago and passed it on to me, because he said it reminded him of me. Turns out I’ve unknowingly been a Taoist my whole life. I just didn’t know it until I read the Tao of Pooh.

I do NOT recommend the Tao de Jing. Although it is essentially considered the “Tao Bible”, it’s all over the place and doesn’t really spell out what Taoism is all about.

No. Tablets come with paper included. Binders, you need to provide your own paper.

It’s very likely SHE called it that, or her parents, but they’ve always been wrong.

WE are the liberal think tanks.

But nobody’s listening.

Funny thing about the system. The people who want it to change the most, are the least likely to get paid time off on a Tuesday.

Lots of great points here. I supported Bernie in those Primaries because long before he was looking at the presidency, he was the first politician that made me think “THIS guy is looking out for ME.”

It’s very likely that others who hadn’t heard of him before then, didn’t get to hear enough to think he could beat Trump.

What kind of answer are you looking for? You’ve got a lot of responses, but then you just ask the same question over again, as if none of these answers are good enough.

Starting to think you might be a sealion…🤔

I’m getting tired of the “I’m tired of politics” posts.

I just popped in to laugh at everybody who’s downvoting and posting angry comments before actually understanding the context.

Come on people, settle down. You’re making us all look bad.

Why is that?

The Electrical College!

Some people on Lemmy are very strange.

Welcome to my world.

No, you’re right. It’s essentially the same as “God’s will”.

A mysterious power you can’t see or prove that manipulated everything you don’t understand.

It’s a really easy rut to fall into.
