    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.
