    It will still be the Democrats fault somehow. My dad is whatever you call it when you’re not conservative or Republican but still manage to vote for right wingers. His wife had a stroke years ago and her physical abilities and mind had started to go before that. She’s needed to be on Medicare/Medicaid for a long time now. I hope she doesn’t lose access.

      Thats called a Republican, friend. Just one who tries to avoid the label and backlash.

      and I hope someone is checking in on the wife, You know how these types tend to treat the less able, especially in stressful situations.

      I said that recently and someone told me to “get some new material.” I was like motherfucker, I’ll quit saying it when it stops being true!

        They’re the ones trying to drag us back to the 1930s and have the gall to ask for new material

    This is not news, Texas is a failed state, nobody is running a headline “innocents killed by warlords in Somalia”.

    One thing “Texans” seem to never understand: It’s not your state, they let you live there because they needed you to run their ranches and pump their oil, but the state belongs to the rural rich and always will.

      Texas has been Republican controlled for 28 years. If they were capable of doing better, or differently, they would (might).

          The same thing someone at Mastodon would have against calling what people post there “tweets.” It’s not the right word.

          What is wrong is not me here. Look, I get it. It’s called a subreddit on Reddit. But this is Lemmy and we don’t have subs. We have communities. And there’s a community for world news, but this isn’t it

            The word sub is not inherent to subreddits or Reddit. Why do people keep spouting this bullshit. Sub means under/secondary/part of. So it’s not weird, illogical, or even vague to refer to communities, especially since people can tie it back to, yes, Reddit. You’re just an old fart, dogmatist. iTs A cOmMuNiTy.
