American voters have been indoctrinated to think anything that in government initiated is “socialism.”

Yet, they keep voting for the opposite. People seem too dumb to be allowed good things.

Sure, but the real culprits are the politicians who are financially supported by the health insurance industry and keep defending this insane system. Bernie for President.

Complaining about the taxes would be the dumbest since the US spends a lot more tax money for a lot less per capita.

I really don’t think Raygun could have thought of a much better scenario than the one she’s living right now. She’s world famous and it’s not like she was going to win any medals anyway. She should take advantage of this situation and just run with it. Write a book, make speeches, do events. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Don’t get all offended about it.

Actually, he is. He holds South African, Canadian, and US citizenship.

I left live-TV behind years ago. I only consider and watch streaming services that offer an ad-free option. Also don’t want my kids to watch all those ads. If we teach the next generation to despise ads, maybe we can change things.

Plenty of his supporters care about the 2nd amendment. Trump is extremely thin-skinned when it comes to his popularity and self-preservation.

But reality has the response covered:

Many European countries has a max wait time of 90 days for non-emergency elective surgery. If the wait is longer than that at a public hospital, the patient can choose to have the surgery done at a private hospital if there’s room at no additional cost. Emergencies are always treated immediately, of course. You can also choose to have a private top-up health insurance plan if you wish to always be treated at private hospitals.

It’s wild that Americans accept this idiotic healthcare system.

It’s not gonna happen. It would open up challenges to constitutional amendments that he and his supporters care about.

I still can’t believe that January 6th ended up meaning absolutely nothing to voters. Nothing. Wild.

Ok, well, just change it to whatever we have here then. It’s not a big deal and not everything is a conspiracy.

We have the same screens with a card. Here you print out the paper ballot and put it in the counter. Never seen them without a paper ballot.

Who doesn’t have paper ballots? The states that use a touch screen (e.g. Dominion) still has paper ballots. You just make your choices on the screen and print the ballot. You check that everything is accurate and insert the paper ballot in the counting machine.

Eliminate the Electoral College. None of this other crap.

Yeah, the next nut bags are already lining up.

The only silver lining about Trump is that he’s done after 4 years (supposedly). I hate this timeline.

My father-in-law always grunts “socialism something something” whenever I mention supporting a universal healthcare system. Of course, he does that while being on Medicare.

Short-term solutions are hard. In past work, I’ve proposed solutions to men’s compensatory anger and aggression at both the individual and societal levels. For example, I believe that it’s important for adults, such as parents, clinicians and teachers, to resist the urge to put undue pressures on boys, as well as to equip boys with the tools they need to resist such pressure. At a broader level, it’s important to promote gender diversity in positions of leadership and power, so that boys learn that people of all genders—not just men—share the responsibility for providing and protecting. If we can target the mechanisms underlying the pressure that boys and men experience, we should be able to mitigate the anger and aggression they exhibit to prove their manhood.

Well, a lot of the families of these young men are also deeply involved in the evangelical community that teach that these pressures are not only societal, they are God-given and healthy. They learn that if they don’t adopt this type of masculinity, they are going against the biblical version of the man. They might not even make it to heaven. They’ll be burning in eternal fire. And if your parents and your church and your day-to-day leaders keep pushing this, it’s no surprise that they end up voting for the toxic masculinity Trump represents.
