This, 100%.

There’s a false narrative that everything and everyone is either left or right, liberal or conservative, blue or red. But it’s simply not the case.

There are a handful of leftists in the Democrat party, but the vast majority are right wing conservatives. The Overton window has shifted hard to the right and most of the Democrats shifted along with it.

A Democrat politician today would have been considered a right wing republican extremist 40 years ago.

It’s just bizarre.

“Hey, I’m giving these guys some guns so they can kill all of you. But it’s ok because here’s a sandwich. Might want to eat it now, it’ll be your last meal before they exterminate you.”

I went on to enlist in the military, got out after one enlistment, and eventually became a machinist and shipwright welder. I’m working on my SCUBA & underwater welding qualifications.

In a high-school out in the boondocks of Texas, I was easily the smartest kid. Everyone else was concerned with their parents farm, chores, football, and dating.

We’re incentivized to lie to our employers. If they ask where we see ourselves in X number of years, any answer rhst doesn’t involve that company is a red flag to management, and likely a reason to terminate your employment.

We live in an age where company loyalty and hard work translating into promotions & higher pay aren’t real things. This is not the 1970s anymore, despite what many of our geriatric politicians say to the contrary.

These days, the only way to get a promotion or a pay raise is to quit and go work for someone else. Employers don’t like to admit it, but that’s the hard truth. There is zero incentive to work hard for, or be loyal to, any company.

I now have infinite patience with essential workers. When they get an order wrong, or they have a bad attitude, I let it go

Shared hobbies are often the best way to get your foot in the door. Book clubs, local events, concerts, charities, and religious locations are a good start.

While I’m willing to concede that Biden is unpopular now due to recent events, the claim thst he’s the least popular president in 75 years is laughably false.

Newsweek seems to conveniently forget about Trump, who’s currently has 90+ pending criminal charges.
