Decades upon decades of progress are going to be gone by the end of this.
We'll spend the rest of our lives living in a system slowly being rebuilt, if we even get that lucky.
There goes our futures. And we voted for it.
Truly a shit nation full of shit people.
Imagine us growing up at the peak of civilization (1999, per the Matrix) and not knowing it.
Now we're going back to the 1800s with robber barons and 20 hour/7day workweeks.
With RFK Jr pitching in, you're going back hundreds of years.
Yes, but the libruls made them do this, because woke/dei/crt and the trans. The amount of actual TDS (transphobic derangement syndrome) out there is something to behold.
The crazies are obsessed with trans and other bullshit that has no impact on their lives (b-roll of migrant caravans, poor people living high on the hog on steak and lobster, etc) that they are completely willing to end democracy over it. Not even fucking kidding. It's one thing when you see the elites saying democracy is over, it needs to be shunted aside so they can rule, it's quite another when they have convinced a lot of stupid peasants to say the same kind of shit. As if the peasants' lives won't be remarkably worse under what the elites have planned....
The wounds are too deep for rebuilding, imo. Even if we do get the chance, there's just not enough Band-Aids, political will, and time in four years for the democrats to repair it. We're facing the complete implosion of our federal government and its legitimacy along with it.
The worst part is that there's not enough of an organized opposition to stop it, or even really slow it down. Neither major political party acts in favor of the people; major news outlets and social networking tools are owned by billionaires; a sizeable chunk of the country is perfectly OK with getting ratfucked so long as José next door gets it worse. We aren't facing the implosion of the USA into a TechnoFascist Hellscape, we're LIVING IT.
B-bu-but grandstanding uncommitted Jill Steiners told me not to worry and they're all the same though!!?
Well, keep in mind that Biden was indecisive about Gaza...
Biden was the right vote over Trump, even on the issue of Gaza. However, it's fucked up to minimize Biden's culpability in the Gaza genocide this way. He wasn't indecisive, he was complicit and was actively involved in helping Israel lie and obfuscate. Maybe we as a country deserve Trump, or maybe we don't, but Biden and Harris did not deserve to win.
What the fuck is "deserve"?
Representative democracy is the system where people get the government that they deserve.
I don't agree with the last statement.
There's "continue with previously agreed weapons shipments to Israel" and there's "let's make Gaza a parking lot, invade Greenland, and ship these brown people to Guantanamo, citizens or not".
Biden/Harris were not perfect, but they were the proverbial one-eyed person... vs a blind donkey.
Don't forget that Trump is also talking about shifting control of Gaza to the US for some godforsaken reason (it's beachfront property and his real estate mogul friends will make tons of cash building resorts on mass graves and skeletons).
Context is important to discern meaning. Biden, the person, deserves nothing better than a jail cell. Harris too, on some level, though she's not as directly complicit. I voted for Harris anyways, because it was worth accepting that grave injustice to keep Trump out of power.
It was worth accepting that grave injustice to prevent and even bigger injustice.
We warned against Trump not because we dislike the guy, or his hair or his ties, we warned people that Trump would be even worse than whatever they/you disliked about the Biden admin.
It took him weeks to propose deporting 2M people from their own homeland and building a Trump hotel on the beachfront property left behind.
Are you just reading every other sentence or something? I voted for Harris. I didn't need you to tell me to vote for Harris. I'd rather see Harris in prison than the Whitehouse, but I'd rather see Harris in the Whitehouse than Trump.
But, if we want to talk about warnings, I warned people like you that preaching at voters was more likely to make them stay home than vote for your candidate. Pointing out why Harris was better than Trump on Gaza was good, but the constant preaching and harassing attitude could easily have lost Harris the election. The fact that it didn't end with the election is insane. It shows that your motivations were to virtue signal instead of helping Harris win.
Don't worry. WW3 will be the world against the US within the next decade.
Is a decade ten months now?
Feels that way
The future is a foreign land.
Most of them are just caught in the gears of history. It's not as if voting was ever mandatory or generally made available to the working class.
But yes, a nation asleep at the wheel for the most part. It's such a pity.
You are …and only a handful of people are going to be better off for it. It’s fucking wank, and it’s not just USians that are going to feel the hit, cause many other countries will use you as a blueprint.
