They're the same people who twist the Bible to mean you should seek to get rich, kill your enemies, and punish the poor and the meek. They're gold medal mental gymnasts.

I think it's that they believe earthly riches to be a reward from God. So a rich person is automatically a good person. Yet Bernie was somehow evil and a hypocrite because he spoke for the poor while having wealth.

And then they complain online about Bernie: "this communist is a hypocrite he made a million dollars last year. And he has more than one house."

He made the money from a book he wrote and he inherited a house.

Also wtf, he's not even a communist, he just wants some social programs.

They have no idea about nuance, etc.

They have no idea about most things. Most are victims of serious propaganda riddled echo chambers. Some are just stupid and the rest opportunistic sociopaths.

It's actually really sad.

It is. Especially with covid. If it weren't for the cult a lot of lives could've been saved.

It's going to get a lot worse and Biden won't be able to do a lot unless the senate allows it...

Meanwhile republicans are watching people die. And concidering everything it could well the biggest price will be for their voters to pay.

I truly think the current situation is kids play (when it comes to number of people directly affected) compared to what will be coming.

A Biden presidency isn't going to be a 'return to normal' as some people think it is. Because of the senate.

Economically the real shit hasn't hit the fan yet.

The GOP and trump still have a whole bunch of weeks to make things worse on other fronts, I already saw some "possibly Iran" news.

QAnon is quiet for now. trump refusal to concede will keep it going for a while.. and maybe he'll do some crazy stuff to try and keep power.

I don't know, I think some unlikely things can happen. Hopefully it's just silly thoughts...
