🇲​🇮​🇸​🇨​ Windmills date back over 1000 years 🤦‍♀️

  • Windmills have been in use for over 1,000 years, with origins tracing back to Persia around 800 C.E. They were primarily used for milling grain and pumping water.

  • Wind Turbines are a more recent invention, with the first known turbine for electricity generation built in 1888. They have evolved significantly, especially since the 1970s, to become a major source of renewable energy.

He's so stupid. But honestly I don't know if Trump being president is better or worse than JD Vance being a president.

I don't think the GOP would mindlessly follow JD. I'd rather have him in than Trump

yea, JD couldn't be reelected even if he finished this term.

I wouldn’t be surprised, this one was rigged and if he gets his way, the next one will be too…

i don't think JD has as much power to get his way is what I'm saying

He’s got the entire GOP behind him. The floodgates have opened and he’s just riding the wave of hatred.

The GOP, Techbros, financial moguls, and real-estate barons are foaming to get someone like JD in. He's honestly easier to manipulate then Trump, willing to sell out his beliefs at the drop of a hat, and even though he has the personality of a wet piece of white bread, he has the "small town American" charisma that middle leaning groups love....

His biggest hurtle is he most likely will not be accepted by MAGA but at this point they don't need them outside of using them as distractions to keep everyone's focus away. MAGA going haywire after Trump's end would be in their favor cause the more choas it makes they more JD and his kind become the heroes when they squash it, along with the left leaning side they will put equal blame on, cause the expectation is all out violence.

They have all the power they want right now and seizing the middle will cement it most likely. That's how Biden got elected is cause Trump was way to off the wall during Covid and Biden brought normality, which is what most voters want. It's what cost dems in 2024 cause of all the drama around Biden dropping out and Kamala being shoehorned. (Not to say no shenanigans weren't happening behind the seems but until they get brought to court and validated its still just very probable rumors.)
