    I wouldn’t say all of that 30% thought that. There is a lot of purposeful and tactical decisions made by the GOP to prevent democratic votes. States where mail in and early voting are not allowed is an example, another is the polling places that do not allow you to give water to the people waiting in line. Then theres the ad campaigns that targeted black people saying of they voted they were going to be jailed by the IRS for some vague tax fraud reason. Some people are terrorized out of being able to vote.

    Thats not to discount that there are definitely stupid privileged fucks who simply chose not to vote and let Trump happen.

    I completely agree with what you’re saying here as someone in the US. To add onto it, a large majority of the problem is due to the complete lack of quality public education, and the option for private schooling / home schooling mostly revolving around Christo-Fascist propaganda and not actual facts. As someone who experienced the public school system, I had no idea MLK JR was a socialist. We were only told about the amazing effects of peaceful protests. The media we consume reenforces individualism, and not community. I’ve been trying to make an effort in my own life to try and be more involved with the community around me, and to participate in local politics, volunteer work, and helping your neighbors. I’m hoping there are others like me who are doing the same, and with any luck, the culture you’re describing will see a slow, painful death as people start realizing the harmfulness of this way of living.

    American Dad is sort of like if the first 3 seasons of Family Guy kept going, but replace the cutaway gag comedy with social commentary. I enjoy all of Seth’s stuff (Including the Orville, still waiting on Season 4 to start filming), although I will admit some of it is not for everyone. I still watch the new Family Guy seasons, but its like eating fast food. You know it used to be made better, and you know there are better options, bit its comfortable so you still do it.

    Just out of curiosity I did check

    Kroger’s Privacy Policy

    in select Texas stores we may collect biometric information such as a facial recognition data, when you enter our stores for security purposes, to protect the health and safety of our customers and associates, and to prevent, investigate, and prosecute shoplifting, fraud, and other criminal activities. We provide notice at the point of entry in locations where we collect biometric information.

    So, only in Texas and theyre supposedly not trying to hide it ? at least for facial recognition. ALPR isn’t specifically mentioned in Kroger’s privacy policy, although this line implies it’s not entirely off the table

    Sensory data such as CCTV recordings from our facilities or premises or photos. Some of our cameras may capture license plate data for security purposes, to protect the health and safety of our customers and associates, and to prevent, investigate, and prosecute shoplifting, fraud, and other criminal activities. We may record your voice when you contact our customer service centers.
