    I think you can even debate on if the Holy Roman Empire was a legit continuation or not too, that's just obviously weirder with the Eastern still surviving. They certainly wanted to be a continuation and tried and I would argue perception matters above all else, but I just don't think they quite...

    Oh okay I do know of this a little, just had no name recognition I think that's why it's so weird to us now too, they're very distinctive cultures, but to me I think it's just human fallacy that we think that means it has to be completely separate. I mean it's basically just that father's axe...

    Not at all, I still have some but gaps during the post-republic period of Roman history, so elaborate. Also a fun podcast i listened to recently was basically debating when the Roman empire actually fell, whether you count the Byzantine as a continuation and why some famous dates given may not...

    I'm seeing Trump just went on a rant saying Tylenol causes autism along with vaccines. What's the proper species of horse semen I'll be allowed to take after they ban the real medicine?

    Growing up in a town named Carthage (named after the town of Carthage, Missouri), you'd have thought I'd have gotten into the Punic Wars a lot sooner lol I didn't even know Carthage was in Africa for the longest time, I just knew they fought with Rome somewhere lol Its a sad story though bc...

    He'll force the dragon ball forum to let you back if you just turn in Grim to whatever he renames ICE to when they start going after citizens born here (well, more of those)

    I think we actually got that pic back from Bush when we wrote to him as a class when I was like 8? Well basically the teacher wrote a letter and we just gave her dumb ideas to tell him lol maybe it was a standard response to kids they had, it would make sense with the no child left behind gimmick

    the thing Bill always got blamed for was the housing crisis not 9/11 fwiw, that was just the Muslims and so they had to be stopped as far as my narratives seemed at the time

    Yeah for me I was in high school when I realized I didn't hate gay people and maybe wasn't a Christian and then I realized i hadn't heard any other Republican policy so the social stuff is what pulled me. I don't think I would consider anything that isn't "social politics" any sort of...

    to add to this, Cheney or Bill Clinton were blamed for every problem Bush caused lol

    Even questioning Bush was an insane thought which is actually funny as all fuck looking back lol there wasn't any major hate on the Dems that I remember during his run but all that "war criminal" stuff and questioning the war may as well have been a myth to me lol

    I think I do similarly never saw the really crazy libs for awhile too fwiw. Took ages before I even got into atheists spheres that made me even realize I might not believe in religion, not even bc my parents were forcing it on me, it was just a thing I never thought about bc no one else did...

    now I'm by Dallas so it's fine, the local Republicans are even decent, but I grew up in a district that reelects Louie Gohmert (a tea party apologist) with like 90% of the votes every two years for my entire life

    And Trump has weaponized all of that same hate that the tea party did but on an actual national level

    Maybe that's the frame of reference right there. My grandparents graduated school before black people were allowed to attend the same ones. My dad was born the year of the civil rights act. There were famous lynchings in towns within an hour of me after the year I was born, 1996

    You'll never really have a frame of reference tbh bc I was about to say "just imagine I grew up in the 80s instead of the 2000s and everything was only recently desegregated" but then I remember where you live didn't even have segregation then. The south might as well be a different country from...

    I think the Obama/McCain election was the turning point. That was the last time your average person could be assumed to be reasonable regardless of political disagreements, I was in Tea party central so I didn't even get that one. Romney/Obama wasn't that bad either but it was noticeably...
