  • I wish I could say the same but I can’t bring myself to cut my dad out of my life. Yesterday ended our 2 year streak of talking every day.

    He learned years ago not to bring up politics with me because he knows I will destroy all of his arguments and bring receipts. He’s let a comment or two slip at a family gathering but he knows my phone’s coming out of I’m within earshot… No, dad, he was definitely friends with Epstein - here’s a quote saying so from the 90s.

    I’ve thought a lot about bringing it up or at the very least what my response would be if he does. I want to tell him that he has 20 years left at best but I have to live in the world he voted for a lot longer. I want to tell him that I think my sister would be right to never speak to him again. I want to tell him that she may be young, but in 15 years my niece is going to rightfully resent him for what he supported.

    But what I think I’m going to actually tell him is that he fucked up so bad that I HAVE to assume he truly does not understand the implications of this if I ever want to be able to look him in the eye again.

    And every single time Trump does something shitty as president, I will be texting him what it was and why it’s bad whether he likes it or not.



  • I feel like you just inadvertently described the problem with 99% of meme “communities” on the internet. I used quotes there because they’re more like image dumps than actual communities. Every new one that pops up just gets filled with the posts from the others until they’re all homogenous…The fact that there’s a risk of running out says a lot. I haven’t seen an OC meme community in years
