Examples of GOP Leadership

we are the last bit of generation(s) that have these stories too

My nonno (grandfather) came over to canada from italy due to italys economic crisis after ww2 and our family was treated highly segregated, not only for being immigrants but for our skin tone, thats why you have towns that are "little italy" etc neighborhoods now long gone or restored that were for italian families only or irish take your pick on whatever euro country it was.

my other grandfather fought in ww2 and lost his brother in ww2 on the canadian side.

Its amazing how ignorant americans can be when they post or say dumb ass shit they can fucking google.

Youre talking about the country nextdoor the one you call neighbor the one who funds so much shit and helps you out everytime theres a wildfire or terrorist attack or even during covid.

yet you cant do a google search and instead choose tomake snide ass comments which they deleted (though i can see them)
Porco dio! I love the Italian people, their sense of family, work ethic and culinary feasts - gnocchi, fried cauliflower, chicken parm, pizzelle, tiramisu, aged cheese and red wine. Our two Gkids are half Italian. Their nonna is first generation Canadian, with her brothers born in Belgium and Brazil, as bisnonno tried to grow roots after the war - from northern Italy.
Somehow (guessing they lied to the priest) I ended up being our Gson's godfather (witness/sponsor). Had me reciting all kinds of rhetoric (procedural richness) I didn't agree with at the front of the Catholic church - at least I didn't burst into flames.

RIU was my first online experience and joined FB last year. Being naive to internet interactions, I had no clue what trolling was or gaslighting for that matter, but learned quickly. It's fascinating to me how we all have access to an abundance of information, yet so many are far from being resourceful and many more chose to be wilfully ignorant - it's gotta hurt, but here we are. I love learning and have a desire to be optimistic.

The constant verbal diarrhea from the orange turd/stable genius hasn't help society evolve to be better either. The tribal political loyalty is astonishing - similar to lifelong Maple Leaf fans dispute never having won a Stanley Cup in their lifetime. Cognitive distortions are plentiful and simple observable realities are being denied by so many.

Three of Mom's sisters live Texas, so we get to hear about all the lies they've swallowed. All of them are evangelicals that believe in the prosperity gospels - where you can be forgiven for wage theft, fraud, etc, but you're blessed because god is on your side - while others struggle. The farm insurance fraud is fascinating, where every so many years they're allowed to make a crop failure claim, and they do. The seeds are planted too shallow and sparsely, so of course the crop fails - we call them mailbox farmers as that's where the cheques come from. Some have gotten so good at fraud, they own jets - but yeah, god is on their side. SMH.
