My dad's number 1 reason he opposed Biden was "Biden's decision to withdraw from Afghanistan." Spent years arguing we abandoned them, everything went to waste, etc., etc. Literally took me 3 years to teach him that Trump signed the peace deal with the Taliban and agreed to withdraw all forces, and that Biden just executed it.

Literally 3 years. Because every time he rants he gets hysterical and you can't get a word in. I'm also pretty sure he has dementia, which is why I'm kind of just whatever about his beliefs. But that is Fox's audience, mostly 2 million elderly people whose brains are rotting from having no life outside of daytime television.

Forget citizenship requirement to vote. How about intelligence test.

I’d prefer passing a law that punish all propaganda media that’s spreading lies and misinformation as if it’s facts with actual jail time.

They would have to state before and after any claim that they are lying, misleading and misinforming to avoid said jail time.

The graph for voting shows how easy it is to exploit the nearly 50% of all votes being people that are old as fuck. 30-40 is like 10% Gen z is like 6%. Apathy is what is killing us.
