We’re entirely fucked, and this seems to be the only thread about it, it’s not gotten much activity. Either people are writing their paragraphs (thanks for not using AI to make your opinions for you), or we’re all feeling about as motivated as I am right now (or less so?) or people just aren’t going to engage…
I’ve never felt worse for my country than I do today, and I thought it couldn’t get worse than yesterday, at least tomorrow is looking up right?
Something like this is complex, which means people aren’t going to react to it until they start actually seeing the effects. And when they do, judging by how uninformed most Americans are, they won’t know what things, like this, resulted in their current state of affairs. And a large portion of our populace who subscribes to propaganda networks will be made to believe it wasn’t the GOP that did it.
I’m not saying there’s going to be a cataclysm-level event and all of a sudden America ceases to exist. But this country, as we’ve always known it, is over. And our quality of life is going to steeply decline. And that decline will be steeper the poorer you are.
We aren’t crawling out of this hole for a long time, if at all. Prepare yourself to watch this nation steadily decline for the remainder of our lives.
It’s tough but what is there to say? Oh we got fucked again? Kind of feel like a parrot with one phrase at this point lol. I think most people are more or less speechless.
You know that quiet pause a dog takes before trying to bite your face off? The US keeps taking that pause. At some point a twig is going break during that pause, and we’re going to have a right mess on our hands.
ICE just became the unofficial 5th branch of the military, there aren’t words
At least if they were part of the military they’d be bound by the ucmj
6th or 7th, isn’t it?
The enshittification of the nation continues. $200 billion more to ICE among many other terrible things.
If you can emigrate, now’s the time.
If you can’t, now’s the time to buy guns and ammo.
This, coupled with the corrupt Supreme Court deciding presidents are above the law and that courts can’t stop unlawful executive orders, means this nation’s collapse is imminent.
If you can leave, seriously consider it.
How? Where?
I’m one of the privileged people to have studied engineering and was able to move to Germany relatively easily (due largely to luck and some good planning). If you qualify for an EU Blue Card that may be an easy path towards a new life outside of the US.
If you are in college or younger it’s easy to start making plans to give you your best chances of success. And if you’re retired, approaching retirement, self-employed, or something akin to a digital nomad you should have less problems moving somewhere close like Canada or Mexico.
Not saying it’s easy, but there are paths. The cool thing about borders and countries is they’re all made up. French people need the same goods and services as Americans (with variation of course) and thus most labor is needed in most places. With declining birth rates nearly everywhere, the smartest countries are opening their borders to immigrants or have been open for a long time.
Goddamn, America
RIP
Relevant username.
The rich are laughing at the idiot poor people who think this helps them
I saw. News is still more fixated on the Medicaid cuts and rural hospital closures, rather than the ICE part. The rich people getting tax cuts extended was obviously going to happen either way, though.
rural hospital closures
Less MAGAts is a good thing. But I do feel for the non-MAGAts that need those hospitals.
I mean, I felt the same urge but at the end of the day we shouldn’t be pro-death. They might paint us that way, but doesn’t mean we should cheer the death of rural communities, lol
we shouldn’t be pro-death
The only good fascist is a dead fascist.
My mother is in her late 60s and is diabetic and needs Medicare for her insulin, this is going to killer and countless others.
The cuts are to Medicaid, not Medicare. Although the debt is increasing so much, there may need to be cuts to Medicare in the future to account for the increased interest payments
LET THEM EAT return2ozma’s CAKE day
Hah! Thanks!
This is the world laughing at you…
