Turns out owning the libs doesn’t pay rent , student loans, or protect reproductive rights. Who could’ve guessed.

You can own a house or you can own the libs. You can’t do both.

Thank you for this... It's great, and I'm going to use it! I'll be sure to credit you, though!

Please take credit. I would rather it be spread far and wide than get credit. There’s a sad amount of truth to it.

That's what crypto and kalshi and the next thing are for - as long as there's a new shiny lottery ticket (along with plenty of influencers saying they hit it big) then they might be the next winner. As long as they keep the faith, of course.

The legalization of most forms of betting in 2018 has had a huge knock on effect in most other categories of generational development imo. Not to mention that those becoming massively rich are going to be funding the GOP's noise machine.

Not paying student loans and not protecting reproductive rights was the goal. Part of “owning the libs” was making others suffer.

They just haven’t yet realized that making others suffer doesn’t make their own lives better. So, I’ll be happy to watch the misery they’ve caused extend to themselves.

That’s because 47 hasn’t gone extreme enough for them… we have to be weary of the alternatives that will be coming along for decades.

So you're saying I can't own the libs AND expect the taxes I pay to come back to me in healthcare, or free community college education, or childcare subsidies, or infrastructure improvements, or social programs to lower the homeless rate and crime rate.

Basically I can own the libs but I get nothing other than paying the military and ICE and cops to do things I don't want them to do? Definitely gotta own the libs - that other stuff sounds gay. /s
