Ron Johnson @ronjohn31.bsky.social · 3hThis will sound absolutely crazy, but there times I have to watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy to motivate myself to move. Yes, sometimes it takes Frodo, Sam, King Theyoden, Aragorn, and Gandalf to get my to act. 010
Ron Johnson @ronjohn31.bsky.social · 14hAxanar could have been a massive blockbuster for Paramount. But instead we got the J.J.-verse and Kurtzman. 000
Ron Johnson @ronjohn31.bsky.social · 14hWe can't even get a senile and barely alive Mitch McConnell out of the senate. Short answer, we're a failed state. The Constitution ain't worth the lamb skin it's printed on. 111
Ron Johnson @ronjohn31.bsky.social · 15hHere's what the average retired South Carolinian says about that: Republicans want to cut social security? They would never do that. But, those trans folks scare me and I'm afraid the Dems will hurt my grandkids. Yeah, a approximation. But I've heard similar many times. 130
Ron Johnson @ronjohn31.bsky.social · 15h2016 was the bump. 2024 was a psychotic break with reality and a suicide attempt. Yeah, I'm a bright ray of sunshine. 010
Ron Johnson @ronjohn31.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I grew up in an evangelical family. From the late 60s to late 70s the church was crazy but relatively benign. As soon as Reagan appeared everything became fully unhinged with End Times and Rapture talk. It was surreal seeing people I cared about turn their religion into a death cult. 110

Ron Johnson @ronjohn31.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I want more than the court to be better. I want the six fascist flushed down the toliet. But to even begin to reform we've got to win enough senate seats that Fetterman can't derail it. 100
Ron Johnson @ronjohn31.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Religion is one of the main reasons this country will fail. The world is just too complex and dangerous to base any decision on guidance from religious beliefs. 084

Ron Johnson @ronjohn31.bsky.social · 04/10/2026In Florida on vacation and heard the GOP governor nominee on a local Jax news show this morning. He complained about home insurance rates and how he wants to solve them. Never once did he mention why the GOP hasn't fix them yet given they've been in control for decades. 241
Ron Johnson @ronjohn31.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I almost lost my account on Reddit for suggesting the rich should be treated like the aristocracy during the French Revolution. Actually I said it in far more blunter terms. 110

Ron Johnson @ronjohn31.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Steinbeck said, "All war is a symptom of man's failure as a thinking animal." So is the working class believing any billionaire is out to help them. 110
Ron Johnson @ronjohn31.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I'm totally expecting trump to completely nuclear meltdown the economy. The thing that really ticks me off is that his diehard cultists will never accept nor understand their messiah did it. 010

Ron Johnson @ronjohn31.bsky.social · 04/10/2026The individual states will have to bring the ICE/Gestapo to justice. Trump, or his successor, will give them all a blanket federal pardon. 011
Ron Johnson @ronjohn31.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The world has been wrong since 2016. I know this insane time will eventually end. But at what price? I'm too old to believe in happy endings. 120
Ron Johnson @ronjohn31.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Still too high. In a sane country it would be in negative numbers. 000

Ron Johnson @ronjohn31.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Here in the backwards bastion of South Carolina I'm hearing squeaks from MAGA about rallying the vote for their Orange messiah. Don't believe the polls! Don't get complacent! 021

Ron Johnson @ronjohn31.bsky.social · 01/10/2026My number one concern with A.I. is the very real possibility someone will use it to design a specialized virus to cause a apocalyptic pandemic.

Ron Johnson @ronjohn31.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I don't buy any of the ignorant mumbo jumbo when it comes to religious spirituality. But I do get a spiritual feeling when it comes to the realization that all life on Earth comes from a common ancestor. Its mind-blowing that I'm related to every lifeforms on this planet. 121
Ron Johnson @ronjohn31.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I was 55 when the second season of ST:Discovery aired and I got into a huge argument with a stupid MAGA kid of 25 when I told him Star Trek has always been woke. I listed several examples from every series. The kid didn't have a clue. 121
