Summary
Trump recently shared a provocative column on Truth Social titled “Shut Up About Egg Prices — Trump Is Saving Consumers Millions,” written by conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
This comes despite Trump’s campaign promises to reduce grocery costs “immediately” and “on Day 1.” Egg prices have soared to record highs, averaging $4.95/dozen in January and exceeding $10/dozen in some regions, leading to purchase limits and shortages.
While bird flu has significantly impacted prices by killing millions of chickens since 2022, Trump has shifted from his campaign stance, recently telling Fox News “Inflation is back” but claiming “I had nothing to do with it” after just weeks in office.
Those of us that have had to listen to their bullshit at holidays and other family gatherings for 50 years have been kindly letting them know.
It’s one of the reasons I’m glad my grandma is dead.
She was a devout catholic for her whole life, even winning awards for her service to the church.
When the pope condemned Trump’s border policies in his first term, she had the audacity to say, “The pope needs to mind his own business.”
I would have hated to be around her in 2020 onwards. She would have been a Nazi even though my grandfather was Jewish.

lol those of us that have done the work can break free. Looks like maybe you still have a ways to go too
The point that they’re making is that it’s a never-ending process to be aware of and guard against, and those who think that they’ve accomplished being “not racist” are often people who actively are racist and don’t see it. Think the liberal speaking over people about their own wants and needs.
Yes, and I was letting them see that they were doing largely the same thing themselves, by not knowing who they were speaking with or where they are coming from.

One thing to keep in mind is that some of us also grew up poor and with extreme neglect and trauma. I actually feel closer to people of color, and immigrants, than I do with my own white Americans. Marginalized people stick together.

lol and I would suggest you learn about projection my friend. We see what we don’t like about ourselves most in other people. I see more love and hope than I see hate and evil because I work to cultivate both daily.

lol…i didn’t say i couldn’t be racist, i said people that do work can break free. i agree that it can be internalized, as I know all of the traumas laid into us by society, our families, our countries, our socioeconomic standing, etc.
