They literally are though. In America a minor is anyone under the age of 18 so a 17 year old would be under age. This may differ in some states but for the most part, 18 is the magical age when someone is no longer classed as a minor.

[@Pro-DemocraticAdvocate]

i can speak for a few people I know - it's a combination of being proned to conspiracy theories, thinking that "the culture" is not the same as politics when it absolutely is, I had an argument with someone who I got sick of him posting RFK videos in a "no politics talk" space, and called out the double standard. They acted as if I brought politics to them and they were indignant that its health not politics, even though like 20 % of the 5 minute video was essentially purely political (said trump vance 2024 on it and theyre all in one of those staged little buddy shots) I DMed him to express my disapproval and called out the double standard and im the one who had to end up apologizing. He all the sudden became a vaccine skeptic in 2021, i dont really know what his views were before that but I know he was infowars curious. Hes always talking about gluten, and when I shared a music video of "theyre eating the dogs" from the debate because it was legitimately funny (and I also at the time thought that we both saw that commonly as Trump being fucking ridiculous... i assumed wrong) - we shared a laugh about it and none of the "no politics" stuff came up. But when I got pissed because Im reading an article about RFK's plan to put people who are on stimulants for ADHD or benzodiazepines into "wellness" camps, and I finally said something after a few weeks of seeing stupid memes posted about RFK that made him look good, he got so offended that i would bring politics into anything and said it was "uncalled for" and then brought it to the group when I specifically dmed him to not make it a public thing. It's because Americans are so god damn lazy and distrustful of anything that doesnt already fit into that they believe, that we sleptwalked into radicalization disguised as culture. other hobbies of this person include video games, hockey, crypto, UFC, joe rogan, elon musk. Bannnon started radicalizing people in the gaming space, bitcoin got people excited even though it doesn't seem to be anything more than an opaque professional money laundering tool.

All roads lead to Citizens United. Get big money out of politics and corruption will become manageable again. I was raised by a “wellness mother” and believed all the left conspiracies about big pharma until I started talking to scientists and doctors. None of the wellness conspiracies held up to scrutiny and I changed my views. Brandy is correct in that we need counter arguments from the science and medical communities on social media.

The point about the tattoo is not that it's a dog whistle - it's that it's an open avowal of his dedication to white nationalism.

Okay, I'm going to make one comment on the "raw milk" thing. I am 76 years old and although I was born in Michigan, I was raised from age 4 in the WNC mountains. Almost every kid I knew drank raw milk from local farms. I'm not suggesting that it is any better for you but that it's not unusual to know people, particularly my age and older who were raised on 'whole' milk.

7:11 "These are disqualifying allegations, they should be enough to make it so we don't have to deal with someone like MG in Congress or as AG" "Or someone like DT as president" I think one of the harsh lessons of the last election is that "disqualifying" just isn't a thing on most people's minds (absolutely everything goes).

Yeah, I don’t know whether just to appreciate the irony or laugh, but my father, who is a professor emeritus and former department chair in immunology from a well-known land-grant university as well as someone who did human immunology research at Penn, and has traveled around the world working with research teams, pretty much agrees with the position that Kennedy has. But he can give you all kinds of scientific information from his own work to try to convince you. He really does understand how viruses and parasites work at the cellular level and what introducing a vaccine can have on the human system. From my point of view, and what I’ve told him is, I just weigh the risks. I got the Covid vaccines because my father is 101 years old and I don’t want to be the one to kill him. The dissonance is killing me for sure.

No Governor should bend to DJT to get state aid for emergencies. They should say, "We asked for aid and we were denied. You will have to ask the admin why they denied us."

I had polio at 40 years old. We were quarantined, so my Dad lost his job. We had to leave the house we built so we could be near his job. The Salk Vaccine came out a year later. The disruption to our lives cannot be overstated. I got the Vaccine in 2nd grade because the law required it. It didn't matter that I was probably immune by then. One good thing happened, though. I didn't walk well (still don't), but it gave me an understanding of what my best friend was going through. He was not as fortunate as I was. He had to wear braces and use canes just to walk the 12 blocks home. I walked him home everyday even though I lived in the opposite direction. His mom adopted me, giving me two Moms to look over me.
