  • Maybe they voted against the incumbent so overwhelmingly because things are hard.

    People vote based on their feelings.

    When they were feeling pain, the message from the Dems was about how great the economy was, but the reality is that the stock market and GDP don’t speak to the quality of life of these people. To them the Dems saying how great things were was dismissive of their real concerns.

    Meanwhile, Trump latched onto their fears and concerns. Yeah, his policies are idiotic, and millions will suffer and be in worse shape. But when they said they couldn’t pay the mortgage or buy groceries, he listened. The Democrats didn’t because they’ve abandoned the working class that should be their backbone.











  • Having a US military base (that wasn’t forcibly installed by the US military) in your country is usually great for a country’s security at a fantasic price. Especially if you’re a country that’s not likely to have an adversarial relationship with the US.

    The US isn’t likely going to invade or go to war with Romania anytime soon, so having US military thousands of US troops, aircraft, and the world’s most advanced missile defense systems placed there offers great security that they’re paying for just by being located in a strategically useful position.

    Is the rabies vaccine still extremely painful and consisting of like 30 shots? Or is that outdated?

    The squirrel was gonna die no matter what. It couldn’t be sent back to the idiot taking wild animals and running an unlicensed online zoo. And it couldn’t be returned to the wild. And it had already shown signs of aggression, so it probably wouldn’t be accepted by a zoo.
