A long time ago I saw this conspiracy theory that the reason all public buildings (schools, etc.) in the US have an industrial size incinerator by law is to burn the bodies during a fascist takeover.

It was funny then. Not so much now.

Y’all need to touch grass. This is pathetic. You’re sad and scared because you hide in a leftist echo chamber and have just been confronted with the reality outside that bubble. You’re going to be fine. Your neighbors don’t want to hurt you. They want to live peaceful, prosperous lives, just like you do. I hope you are quickly able to see past the disappointment of your preferred candidate losing.

This is cope, and to a dangerously naïve extent. He killed hundreds of thousands of Americans in 2020 through sheer negligence alone. He had political dissenters black bagged by masked enforcers into unmarked vans during the BLM protests.

This time around, his party has consolidated around him and he has promised mass deportations that are logistically unviable and will require widespread use of violence to be actioned. He’s promised extreme tariffs that will cause millions more to be unable to afford housing, sustenance or medical attention. He’s called for a really bad day of violence. This means Kristallnacht again.

Even if he does end up being too lazy to follow through on any of his promises, a hope we really ought not to rely on, the fascist movement he’s built up around him will control all three branches of government and be able to do as they please. The deaths that’ll be caused by the environmental damage alone will be untold, and this is to say nothing of the effects that this government will have abroad.

Pretty hard to fucking immigrate when lack of workers’ rights, underpaid employement, and the insane price of college education has left the vast majority of us flat fucking broke

I see your point. It’s noted. If I can work a few things out, it’s not off the table.

Ummmm … no … your military has been dishing out misery all over the world for the past 80 years.

Ok, trumps not like darth sidious with a gloomy mystique and sinister powers but he’s definitely the American version of that. Like you cross darth sidious with ronald mcdonald and trump pops out
