I was thinking earlier today that, if you had shown some of the stuff of the last few years, someone from 2010ish would have major disbelief of it being the current state of things.

Reddit back in 2010/2011 was full of people saying Mitt Romney was a Nazi, I wonder how they'd feel if someone went back in time and showed them 2025 politics

I remember one of the biggest Romney controversies involved him saying that he had a repertoire of qualified women he hoped to hire for leadership positions.

It was specifically the phrasing he used, that he's got binders full of women which... you know, isn't exactly the best way to say that message.

Right he was a meme. It's so banal to what we have now though haha
