These might be the good old days. Go outside, feel the grass, say wassup to your neighbors,… whatever you do that means community, because sh*t might get bad for a while.
Technically there are 2 months until Jan 6 in which anything can happen. I’m just not hopeful that anything will and don’t think it’s in my best interest to take a stand and make change happen.
This is how they win. We let them.
I really hope Orange Hitler doesn’t have a heart attack and die in the next 4 years because Vance is a competent evil, but OH is only concerned with his own enrichment and will hopefully only do the bare minimum to keep his party happy while spending all day golfing like he did last time.
I didn’t understand what this post meant yesterday. “I’m still afraid of what would happen?”
Now it makes total sense. Fuck.
Something tells me this day will eventually live in greater infamy than 9/11.
Like in 2230, provided there is still something resembling the human race, “9/11” will be just another boring date to memorize together with shit like the Alamo w/e.
The day the republic fell, however, will be a lot more recognizable and memorable.
248 years. Empires “always” last around ~250 (Let’s ignore the Romans for now) so we’re exactly on time.
Bull fucking shit.

They last from 0 years to 1427, and 250 is not the average.
This 250 years nonsense needs to die off.
I’m seeing a lot of “democracy is going to die” posts… But… I hate to break it to you:
America is not a democracy. And if somehow it is a democracy, then it’s an incredibly bad one. It’s the least democratic democracy in the Western world.
The two party system, the first past the post voting system, the indirect method of counting votes, lobbying, gerrymandering, the electoral collage. Systems to try and manipulate what a vote means. Systems that try to remove as much democracy from democracy as possible, while still being able to keep up some mock appearance.
Your whole country is fucked and backwards from the very beginning, and that wouldn’t be so bad. But if America does something we all have to suffer for it!
Everyone on Lemmy is like “Trump is back in office oh no it’s all gonna be over this is the end of America” when the entire west is the dictatorship of the Bilderberg Group and WEF, if you wanna vote you’re better off bribing them than showing up to a voting booth.
What’ll happen is another 4 years will pass, things will get a little worse like they did with every other president, and at the next election people will try to vote their way out of it again and not learn a thing. Bookmark this comment and come back to it if you don’t believe me
Nope we’re in those times right now.
