I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

To be fair, as far as your sister's posts go Syt, it's fairly reasonable.

Facts for once.
Selective facts.
But facts nonetheless.

Getting closer to admitting she's in the wrong there.  Recognising that trump is messing up some people's lives at least.

That seems to be a pretty common tactic.  Trump may be a lying bastard but at least I can keep my guns.

My sister also posted that the US should bring back the draft, because it would stop young people from whining and asking to take money away from rich people.

Yeah she really hates young people. They need to get off her lawn.

Anyway she already posted that peanuts thing years ago.

Wait, God causes bad things to happen and so we should put God in our lives?

North American evangelical apocalyptic Christianity - God help them.  And - since they help elect the leader of the most power powerful nation on earth - us.

Tbf, my two oldest sisters' husbands were in the Army (non of them saw combat action, even though one of them served 25 years till 2009 or so). My oldest sister's two oldest sons were in the Navy,  and her other two in the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (though it looks neither of them will join the military for realz). My middle sister's daughter is married to an Army Sgt. So "the military is good for you" runs in their blood.
