It was over the night he won. We traded it for slightly cheaper eggs.

Correction: For the obviously false promise of cheaper eggs.

You traded it for tiktok and other shiny things. The last nine months has proven that modern humans as a whole will go out of our way to not do a damn thing about a LOT of bad shit as long as we still have access to our ipads, smartphones and streaming services.

Americans (and yes...Westerners in general) are so addicted to their creature comforts that we'll excuse almost anything in order to avoid the inconvenience of not having them if we stand up and actually revolt.

It's utterly disgusting.

It’s funny, because the eggs got more expensive.

Some traded fascism for their own moral certitude.

Because allowing the Nazis to seize unanimous power was apparently better than voting for someone who was vague about one genocide.

Or worse: voting for a woman!

its not even that, trump dropped the issue the moment he found out he coulndt lower them, MSM never followed it up.

Actually Democrats won, if you discount proven cheating like purging legitimate voters. What was that word again for a government that doesn't have fair elections?

(Hint: If you subsidize eggs, you can make them cheaper.)

Why didn't Biden think of that? /s
