Brother, apples already cost over 60x what they did when the halfpenny was done away with. I think we're at the point where the discussion is warranted.

But really, there's a bigger problem here, and it's that you've let your hatred of the current administration blind you. You sound like the person who's saying that the only reason that the Democrats would do something good is because they're secretly using it as a front to harvest adrenochrome.

As hard as this may be for you to hear, there are still in fact bipartisan issues in this country that everyone, regardless of party, agrees with. Fewer every year for sure, in this increasingly tribalistic landscape, but they do in fact still exist, and this is one of them.

There's a list of things that we've had bipartisan support for under the Trump administration. Legislation to fight phone scammers. Legislation to lower drug prices. The First Step Act, that helped a lot of non-violent federal prisoners get released from prison and reintegrated into their communities. His work to push against TikTok and other Chinese state controlled information networks in the US.

These are all things that Democrats also support and are pushing for. These are all things that have been good that this administration has done.

Now, all that is wildly, and don't mis-hear this, WILDLY, overshadowed by the blatant evil, hate, cruelty, and corruption of this administration.

But if you're so caught up in the "everything the person on the other team does automatically has to be bad because they're wearing a red shirt instead of a blue shirt," mindset, you stop being a voice to consider seriously. You will throw all logic and reason to the wind because it's an attack against your identity to acknowledge that the other side can sometimes agree with you. It makes it where you have to imagine some sort of outlandish, deep state conspiracy to explain why the opposition is on your side about something, because you refuse to accept the obvious. Sometimes there are just issues that aren't terribly political and almost all semi-reasonable people just kind of agree on it.

You said that you're not against it because you hate MAGA. And maybe you're right. Maybe I've misread you. But it's clearly not true that we "all know it," as most people in this thread seem to disagree with you. And if you aren't automatically against everything from this administration just because of who they are, then you should be able to produce an example of something they've done that you support? I've given a list above, so feel free to pick from there. But are you willing to agree that the broken clock can indeed be right twice a day, or is the idea of saying that this administration did a single good thing too much of a threat to your identity?
