Why Freedom Became Free-Dumb in America

This is THE best piece I have ever read about why Americans’ idea of freedom is so different from the rest of the world and so toxic:

“These two notions of freedom couldn’t be more different. eand.co/why-freedom-be… Freedom in America, free-dumb, is about not having to ever engage with the struggle of being human — just go out and be as selfish as you please.

Carry a gun to Starbucks.
Don’t wear a mask.
Don’t let anyone have healthcare, including yourself.

The vicious cycle goes on.

“A day in the Life of Sue Republican

Sue gets up at 6 a.m. and fills her coffeepot with water to prepare her morning coffee. The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards. (1) With her first swallow of coffee, she takes her daily medication.

Her medications are safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought to insure their safety and that they work as advertised. (2)

A Democratic Election Sweep Would Be Great for the Economy

Economic outlook is decidedly bearish on Republicans and weakest under scenario in which Trump and Republicans sweep Congress and fully adopt their economic agenda

#Vote #VoteBidenToSaveAmerica motherjones.com/kevin-drum/202… If Trump wins— it is not until first half of 2024 that economy returns to full employment…unemployment remains persistently higher…labor force participation rate that never fully recovers to its pre-pandemic highs…real after-tax income does not change much during Trump’s term

To fill you in...Stolen from a friend’s page.

So if you didn’t catch this mornings shitshow, it went basically like this:

The CDC put out its official recommendations and requirements states should meet before reopening schools.

Trump went to twitter, shitted on the CDC... ...recommendations, demanding that k-12 schools fully open up in the fall. He threatened to cut federal funding if they do not.

Then the coronavirus task force held a press conference, minus Fauci, because he’s on Trump’s shit list.

An anguished question from a Trump supporter: ‘Why do liberals think Trump supporters are stupid?’

THE SERIOUS ANSWER: Here’s what the majority of anti-Trump voters honestly feel about Trump supporters en masse

"The sentence I hear most from well-meaning, conservative friends since Trump’s election is this: “We suffered 8 years under Barack Obama.”

Fair enough. Let’s take a look.

The day Obama took office, the Dow closed at 7,949 points. Eight years later, the Dow had almost tripled. GM, Chrysler and Ford were on brink of bankruptcy and failure would have meant loss of millions of jobs

Obama pushed through controversial $80 billion bailout to save car industry.

U.S. car industry survived making money again and entire $80 billion was paid back w/ interest.
