This is milquetoast nonsense. Do better.

Whoa! I've called probably a dozen times and have never gotten anyone. They've never even emailed me back. You won the lottery!

I understand that it feels almost symbolic, and it some ways it would be, but symbolism is important! And so far, this administration has projected invulnerability. I think a loss at this scale, at this speed would be a pretty big deal in that sense

I bet it's going to be way more than one

lol You gave tax money to the fascist secret police who are currently occupying an American city, but sure, you just keep telling yourself that you're some principled iconoclast.

Dollars to donuts that they *maybe* give him some tiny concession, but otherwise they all just reiterate the Defense of Greenland agreement, then he crows about how big of a win it is.

We were in high school, and he let us smoke, play our own music on the tape player (he was partial to Springsteen), and play euchre for hours on end, so we spent a ton of our time there. Then, one day, with no warning and no explanation, it closed and never reopened. I miss it every day. (4/4)

In the dining room, such as it was, he had Looney Tunes posters and a toy train that he'd painted over with black light paint. On *very* rare occasions, and never by request, he'd turn off the overhead lights, turn on the hidden blacklights and train, and just have a little black light party.

You grabbed your own drink from the kitchen fridge and had to go back there to order. He'd smoke cigarettes while making big vats of sauce that he bragged didn't have any sugar in it. The menu was pizza, calzones, or breadsticks, all of which were delicious. I'd get a calzone and breadsticks. (2/4)

Yes, political partisanship affects the perceptions of people across the ideological spectrum. But conservatives are more likely to believe falsehoods. Rural areas are far more conservative than urban areas, ergo....

Here's one study on this, for reference:

Conservatives’ susceptibility to political misperceptions
Conservatives are less able to distinguish truths and falsehoods than liberals, and the information environment helps explain why.
