If it were anything but a Toyota, I’d say to avoid the OEM premium, but I’d get it in this case. But not from a mechanic, either. You can almost certainly find then for a lower price and install yourself. Leaf springs are like 3 bolts

If you don’t own a gun yet, buy one ASAP because it’s going to get a lot harder for people like you in the coming years

You would literally lose your job and social life in the US if you said this in America about immigrants lol

Use a DNS adblocker on your router and mobile network. 10x easier than it sounds. I haven’t seen an ad on my screen that I didn’t want in years.

Definitely a catch-22. Throw Biden under the bus and you’ll come across as two-face and people will wonder why you went along with the administration in the first place. Support Biden and his detractors will see no reason to vote for you either.

Having said that, the answer to “what would you do different?” should have never been “id put a Republican in my cabinet.” I think the last 3 weeks of Harris’s campaign is going to go down as one of the biggest fumbles in political history.

Exactly. Milquetoast old white man got the most votes of any president ever. Work with that.

The COVID situation was so specific that it 1) will never happen again, so don’t count on it, and 2) let a single-issue candidate win.

what does that make Trump?

The 47th POTUS.

topical issues like peace, climate, genocide, rights, hate, juvenile bullying, criminal bullying, felony conviction, bigotry

Every single one of those issues was put to measure last week and came up short to “the economy.” Idpol has been the Dem’s running charge since Occupy and has netted them exactly (1) election since Obama’s win as incumbent. It’s just not the winning strategy in national elections.

Doing everything they could to stop Bernie.

Not to mention the fact that we know the DNC was having their media outlets run interference on the Sanders campaign, painting him as a crazy left socialist to scare off the moderates, when in reality the majority of Americans approve of his campaign’s policies even more than the Dems’ or Repubs’.

“Guns don’t kill people, people kill people” “the issue isn’t liberal globalism, the issue is unregulated markets.”

Of course no one is arguing on halting all international trade but the same brainrot idealogy that encourages maximum globalism also encourages finding the least-regulated and most profitable trade partners. Until the entire globe can adopt a different paradigm, you can’t reconcile those two components as not being inextricably linked. There’s no possible scenario where global liberal capitalism doesn’t produce unregulated, monopolistic, wealth-concentrating trade.

Most things shouldn’t. It just gives bad writing a crutch to stand on.

Bad thing happens.

Side A says bad thing is actually good and wants to continue bad thing.

Side B says bad thing is bad but actually wants to continue bad thing.

Debt, debt, debt, and debt. Most people don’t own anything in “their” home and probably never will.

Not to mention the fact that most of those (giant houses, trucks) are just people buying the only options on the market.

Post-1989 globalist liberalism failed to improve QoL, pure and simple. Across the western world, people have watched international trade deals do nothing but siphon jobs and wealth out of their homes

If you’re the type of person whose life is actually hurt by this, you deserve it lol

Continuing off OP’s list, the last PS3 game was released in 2020

Same reason that some people have spray tans or workout until their hearts can’t take it anymore. It’s seen as attractive in the culture.

Edit: The Grand Tour did a pretty funny bit on this when Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond tried becoming more American

I said this earlier and got downvoted. 2024 was literally the perfect storm for Dems between everyone being home and the election coming during an unwinnable set of circumstances for Trump (or arguably any president).

BUT, it’s ridiculous to say that Trump’s base didn’t grow between now and then. In 2024 he got a higher percentage of almost every voter class than he did in 2016 or 2020. Whether or not that’s defections or just new voters, I don’t know and it’s probably too soon to tell, but I’ve seen things saying that more first-time Gen Zers voted for Trump much higher than predictions.

I really am worried that Dems (the party and the voters) are going to go through a third election cycle without learning anything, bury their head in the sand, and scream “it’s just the white, flyover rednecks voting for him.”

Buddy this meme is put in reverse.
