American politicians blaming school shootings on anything other than easy access to guns (any%)
They’d much rather disolve the education system.
Love this speedrun! Can’t wait for the 100% run!
[Summoning Salt theme is playing]
Explains all the school shootings in those other countries that allow abortion and evolution.
Never for even a millisecond buy the lie that they don’t see the absurdity in their reasoning.
Pretty standard Republican beliefs. What I always find odd is their incredibly romanticized, rosy view of the past - apparently back in the Good Ol’ Days, there was no murder, rape, physical or sexual abuse, wars, lying, stealing or horrific institutions like slavery (I assume he’d say it was actually a good thing) because Americans at all times revered the Lord, so of course they didn’t do any of that.
In the good old days they were carefree children that were shielded from the terrible things happening in the world.
Looking at election results, the vast majority of Republican voters live in rural or at least suburban areas. Those feature both low population densities and isolation. This can make the crime rate in instances of violent crime per year low compared to an urban area with the same crime rate per capita. It also means that when someone does her killed, The average distance in feet (or miles) from the crime scene to your house is larger. This can affect perception of crime a lot
Can we just disolve as a nation already? Start an auction state by state to different countries?
Clearly we cannot manage the simple act of self governance. The experiment is over and we failed.
Honestly I’m here for a CA/OR/WA Western seaboard alliance. Hawaii can go back to being governed by natives but can ally with us.
3.6t + .3t + .73t = 4.63t using 2022 nom GDP
Which would make the Western Seaboard the #3 economy in the world.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)Cascadia, my dream is Cascadia.
I think some of the northeastern states could likely form a similarly powerful and cohesive country.
Alberta can join Montana and the Dakotas if they hate Canada so much.
Maybe BC could join the Western Seaboard, too.
It’ll probably never happen… but who knows? The relative stability of countries and international borders is a recent phenomenon.
I’m all for this too. The Western landlocked states would be screwed not having access to the Pacific ports as well.
Nah they can have access… for a price.
Laughs in Colorado
That’s a nice Imperial Valley agricultural industry you got there, it’d be a shame if we just dammed the Colorado at the Utah border.
Unless CA could convince OR/WA to give them more water, the inland states are critical for freshwater here.
As always

Mate we can’t afford it right now. Maybe if Florida ends up in the bargain bin?
I call dibs on Norway
You mean norway calls dibs on you
They don’t want you. 😁
You sure? Getting to pick and choose what chunk of the US you buy?
Cali and its living economy are gonna be high bids
Yeah… but what about Florida ?
No ones gonna buy that. Evac the population and return it to a nature preserve
Florida the land is great. It’s the population that’s the problem.
It goes to Cuba. It’s in the will.
Choices, choices! I think we can only take one or two states. Which ones should we pick?
It’s the age old argument of “if there is no God, how do we teach what is right or wrong?”
Yes we can teach morals and ethics without a creator in place. As Penn from Penn and Teller would put it. “I don’t need the fear of eternal damnation to tell me that I shouldn’t murder. I shouldn’t murder because it’s wrong”.
I rape and murder as much as I want - I just don’t want to.
“If the only thing keeping you from murdering and raping people is fear of punishment from god, then you are not a good person.”

“Christian nationalist”…So no surprise.
I had a feeling it wasn’t going to take long for me to hate this guy but it happened even faster than I expected.
Cool cool cool so this dude is unable to comprehend how one can have morality or ethics without an imaginary friend who is constantly threatening to torment them for all of eternity and thus is actively hostile to me as a person because I don’t believe his imaginary friend exists in the first place.
The imaginary friend also tells people to murder their kids and shit “as a test” to prove their faith. This guy said he heard voices telling him to kill people, so if their god is real I more suspect he’s the cause of this, not the solution.
What a fucking idiot
Is this guy really just an idiot, or is he simply pandering to the uneducated to get re-elected?
Yes
Louisiana here. It’s impossible to know the difference anymore. The results are the same.
It’s the same picture… made using feces-based fingerpainting
Kennedy sure has nailed that whole act of being an evil genius who acts like an idiot so that nobody will suspect him of anything nefarious.
For a while it was the latter but this new generation of Republicans are the ones who grew up drinking the kool aid. Their Voters can’t tell the diffrence and many are too cooky to care
Yes.
The school shootings weren’t a problem until after we started putting In God We Trust all over our money.
Jesus Christ, they somehow got worse then Trump
You thought they’d jump up when reaching the bottom of the barrel, but they took out the shovels.
Ok, let’s agree that humans evolved to become school shooters, but how does abortion play a part in it. Abortion actually eliminates possible school shooters, so it balances it out.
This guy wants Gilead and he’s not quiet about it.
Yeah and I blame Taylow Swift for the lack of Indian restaurants in my hometown in Italy smh
