the problem is fear mongering by the likes of Fox

And that's how you keep rednecks from red states feeling superior... through outright lying.

Back in the Cold War days, Albania was the poorest and most undernourished country in all of Europe, yet the population believed they were the richest.
The method for spreading this type of lie has been adopted and polished by the right-wing propaganda machine.

Who's doing the work in the fields?
Immigrants, mostly from Latin America.

Blatant hysterical lies do not fall under "news" nor "entertainment", rather under propaganda.

aRe ThE sAmE!

Then every time Democrats try and pass something meaningful, but are blocked and sabotaged by republicans who have way too much power because of lazy idiots using "all or nothing purity" as an excuse to not vote, those same lazy idiots - who didn't bother to even do a cursory glance to see how Senators and Representatives voted on bills - go bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe again. And again. And again.

"It happened to me! To me!!!"

Maybe she could have also gone like this every time Kyiv and/or Odessa and/or any and all Ukrainian cities have been relentlessly attacked for the past 500+ days. But just as I'm not expecting water to be squeezed out of a rock, neither am I expecting reason and empathy coming out of these lazy, cruel, mindless savages.

Potato - potatoe, tomato - tomatoe.

You see 196 as

queer and especially trans friendly

I see it as a garden of shitposting delights.

In their mindless tunnel-vision, they have tried their damnedest to dehumanize Ukrainians, and in the process - inevitably - the only ones they have objectively dehumanized are themselves.

Or maybe a more fitting term would be that they have subhumanized themselves. And they have done this over and over and over again, in Georgia, in Chechnya, in Crimea, etc. They are parasitic.

Halfway between a pizza and a pineapple!

Starshit Poopers

I would like to know more.

I see what you're saying. But what if we tweak things a little:
Math is real, it is numbers that are invented, the discreet packets in a ruler, a measuring stick. Like an imaginary line in a grid, such as the tropics and equator.

They are incapable of understanding that it is the lack of progressive policies that keep their region a neglected backwater.
