This is leaving out the most crucial piece of why that was a normal reality: UNIONS. Union participation percentage is a measly 10% across all industries for the latest statistics in 2025. Unions are the ones who could fight against the requirement for everyone and their mother to need a minimum of a bachelor's degree. they could fight for working hours to be properly compensated so that the work week was actually 40 hours or less and everything over was actually paid for. The reality of the work place and why we work so much more for so much less is because we are not unionized. the reason europeans seem to have it so much better is because of their strong union culture. there are solutions to these problems and we need to stop obscuring the why.

quasi-normalcy

the fact that these reactionary people always show literal advertising campaigns as "proof" of how people were happier in the past; like...I get that media literacy is, to put it mildly, not a conservative strong suit, but damn

The Department of Defense announced that Barron Trump was exempt from military service because at 6’9” he’s too tall. Curiously there are several 7’ plus tall people serving.

Look at this chart. Since 1968, CEO pay has exploded while worker pay has remained stagnant. If worker pay grew at the same pace as CEO pay, today’s typical worker would make a staggering $431.80 per HOUR. Instead, today’s typical worker makes $36.49 per hour — while CEOs make 280 times that on average. The system is rigged.

“It doesn’t matter if your skin is brown. It doesn’t matter if you’re white. It doesn’t matter if you’re a veteran or you serve this country. They don’t care. They’re just there to fill a quota.” Those are the words of George Retes, a veteran and U.S. citizen who was detained by federal agents during an ICE raid at a Southern California farm. Despite identifying himself as a citizen multiple times, federal agents pepper sprayed him and dragged him from his vehicle. He was thrown in a cell for three days, where he was not allowed to contact his family or a lawyer. He was forced to remain covered in tear gas and pepper spray, as he was not allowed to shower or change clothes. When he was finally released, agents gave him *no explanation* for why he was arrested and detained. When immigrants don’t receive due process as required by the Constitution, no one does. We are no longer on the path to fascism. Fascism is here. Now more than ever, we must protect each other – especially the most vulnerable among us. Keep speaking out. Keep standing up. Tyranny only wins if we submit to it.

Don’t forget that Republicans premeditated the date of this destruction to the working and lower income class http://dlvr.it/TLlrLD

Republicans are at war with the rest of us.

Won’t be silent….. so that means Democrats and Leftists will show up to vote in EVERY election from now on? No more sitting out because their mythical ‘perfect’ candidate isn’t the nominee. They’ll show and Vote Blue No Matter who because anyone in the left is better than ANY Republican. RIGHT?

Non voting Democrats and Leftists have learned their lesson that sitting out elections achieves nothing except allowing Republicans into office. Low voter turnout by the left in 2000, 2004, 2016 and 2024 gave the world GW Bush and Trump TWICE. The worst damage of the failure to vote was it allowed Bush and Trump to appoint conservative judges to the Supreme Court. Gore, Kerry, Clinton and Harris would have appointed liberal justices. To add insult to injury, Trump will likely have the opportunity to appoint 1 or 2 new justices to the Supreme in the next 3 1/2 years. You know he will appoint the most extreme conservatives he can find.

A shame that non voters didn’t consider possibility before before making their disastrous decision not to vote.

Not voting has dire consequences!
