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.

Jesus Christ people… these are humans who voted with concerns for themselves and their communities. Just because you didn’t get what you wanted or you did get what you wanted doesn’t mean it’s carte Blanche to say the most fucking heinous shit about each other.

They wants us divided.

Listen, either what happened is OK or it isn’t. And when you say “these are humans who voted with concerns for themselves and their communities” it makes seem like electing a felon, rapist, insurrectionist moron to the highest office is OK.

So that’s why I’m here writing to you: to fucking tell you that it’s not, and to ask you to not try to justify it or make this shit sound reasonable. It’s not.

No one is going to listen to your points if you come from a place of hatred. It may not be “okay” but it doesn’t mean someone who didn’t vote for Kamala for one reason is the same as another who may be a serial sociopath. Everyone has their reasons. You’ll reach people by talking to them about it. Not chastising them.

72 million Trump voters embraced the hatred Trump spewed. Literally look at what you’re saying and apply it to what happened the other day and decide yourself if you’re wrong or right.

Get ready for all the stages of grief at the same time and I’ll warn you.
Most people get stuck on denial and anger.

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.

What happens if he dies peacefully of old age before the inauguration? Do we still get Vance?

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.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_empires

They last from 0 years to 1427, and 250 is not the average.

This 250 years nonsense needs to die off.

I didn’t understand what this post meant yesterday. “I’m still afraid of what would happen?”
Now it makes total sense. Fuck.
