Honestly I actually think this is a good sign. There was a point toward the end of 2024 when Trump could have come out and said the moon is made of cheese and polls would say 50% of Americans agree with him. The fact that in less than two years Trump has lost 50% of his base is insane. He's is hemorrhaging support.

If numbers keep moving this way the midterm elections, which happen later this year will be interesting to say the least.

    One interesting point in the article you posted rather than OP's is that according to Ipsos only 17% of Americans approve of taking Greenland. I have no clue what the truth is but that number 'feels' a little more accurate.

    In short that would mean 17% of Americans are ride or die MAGA which sadly is a believable number.

    I feel like if you put something like that on a package you should probably give some kind of indication as to why it's not vegan. Like maybe for clarity in parenthesis next to the item "natural and artificial flavorings (not vegan)"

    Christmas at it's heart is a religious holiday, it deeply bothers me, to be immersed in Christian family values for what now seems to almost two months out of the year.

    I've never been a member of the Judeo-Christian faiths, I didn't have a particularly good upbringing so I'm not really close with my family. I'm addition I don't have children and I have zero plans on becoming a parent. So in short, this holiday is not for me.

    Then to add insult to injury and you have the blatant consumerism. Where you are forced to be a good capitalist and spend money on gifts you can't afford to buy gifts people for don't really want it. Yay.

    Edit: After scrolling I was reminded of the music. Holy fuck is the music bad. It amazes me that there are people out there who will happily and VOLUNTARILY put this drek on. As a listener of hard rock and metal holy crap does the music set me off.
