All the libs will go back to brunch and sleepwalk for another 4 years. Harris will fail at everything she does and make life worse, especially for Muslims, and the left will be blamed for everything. The right will dig their heels in even more on reaction, yada yada, y’all know how this show goes.

it’s crazy how much it feels like nothing happened in the US in the last 4 years but it feels like China built infinity high speed rails, infinity nuclear power plants, infinity solar panels, started an electric car revolution, has a microchips industry that’s only 5-10 years behind (and I don’t feel like computers are much faster than 10 years ago in the US…), 1 genocide (RIP deserts), has several competing flux capacitor prototypes, will probably build a base on the moon and mars, has a theoretical bases for the constructing the world’s first matrix of leadership, can turn geese invisible, invented Kwisatz blockers, etc…

…meanwhile we only got something called “AI” whose best use-case is mass producing spam and misinformation.

Honestly they should’ve blocked it years ago due to the threat of getting shot by some loon with too much lead in their tapwater and too much xenophobic newsmedia in their feed
