    It sucks for all the normal folks impacted by this, but being unable to travel for Thanksgiving might actually wake up enough people to the plight they voted for.

      You know that all republicans (including redneck in trailer parks) are watching faux news 24h/24 where they talk about the horrible democrat shutdown, so they will remember to vote republican again.

        I laughed in a co workers face when he told me it was “democrats fault that the government is shutdown” these people are so fucking deluded they don’t even bother looking at anything outside their bubble. He then told me that the Democrats are trying to fund “transgender sex change operations in argentina”. They are literally flipping reality on its head they do not care for the truth only what media pundits feed to them.

        There’s always a few that aren’t, people who can be pried off of the leftward flank.

        If you think there aren’t then you might as well start advocating for the dissolution of the United States, because the experiment is over and it’s a failure.

        Yep. They are getting their news from the “news” networks that cannot even get the fucking name of the DEMOCRATIC PARTY right.

        I don’t hold out much hope for them to wake up, since these are also the people that are terrified of all things “woke”.

      I fled a republican controlled hell hole because I’m queer. Even if flying was in a normal situation I wouldn’t be going back there anytime soon.

      I’m “lucky” in that I haven’t really been close to my family for a verity of reasons, but I have friends who are and it does suck for them.
