woah, what the fuck americans?
Who did you think we were? This is who we’ve always been. They’re just getting comfortable taking the mask off again. Trust me, my grandmother and other family were put through the racist indian boarding schools. Common throughout the US and Canada. You know, the ones they keep finding mass graves on. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Just more subtle, less in your face.
Most people thought are too distracted with bread and circuses to care however.
execuse me for a sec, for I gotta puke.
Na, it will only take two. Trump tariffs will crater the economy in a year.
Massive round ups of migrants both legal and illegal. Killing farming and destroying families.
Musk well being Musk and chopping the Federal Budget,
50,000 vetted loyal Trumpists ready to take over the Federal government.
Matt Gates in charge of the Dept of Justice leading Trumps Vengence tour.
RFK Jr starts peddling raw milk and makes vaccines illegal.
It’s gonna be fucking LIT. I can’t wait to tell my half wit Dominican coworker who voted for Trump “I told you so” when their family gets deported. I can’t wait to tell my idiot sister in laws who voted for Trump, I told you so when the government programs including Obama Care get wrecked.
Of course I’m going to suffer too, I’m stocking up on N1 masks, food, toilet paper and bullets… but holy shit I’m going to be saying I told you so in the nastiest most demeaning way possible for the rest of my days.
It’ll be our one solace going forward. I’m pretty cishet passing, but I’m still considering getting a passport and trying to escape somewhere else. I don’t really want to abandon any actual people left in this country, but I’m not entirely sure what i can even do, especially where I’m located in the country.
I think some of this is being amplified by America’s enemies to drive division.
You are 100% correct. The problem is most of the public has lost the ability to discern the difference between truth and fiction. Not their fault specifically: most of even the most technically literate would struggle to fact check what our news media and feeds dump on us.
That’s why the media should be held accountable for what they say. Which I suppose would be the case if it wasn’t for the loophole of disguising news as entertainment.
It was always there - we merely lost the fight on making it shameful to say in public.

The lizard brains always existed. Inbred, maladjusted, loud angry hateful fucks. We used to be able to suppress them. We ceded the helm of this nation to a bunch of corporations and their puppets in congress. We’ve been trying like hell to fight this multi front battle and are just taking Ls across the board.
We are burning books. Banning knowledge.
We are entering an environment where many do not have the luxury of having an opinion.
Speaking for all of those who were still trying: We’re sorry. We’re still here. We still care. But we’re fighting a losing battle.
Speaking for myself… I’m fucking tired man. I’m not the only one. People I’ve spoken to all are effectively the same: resigned to what comes next. There isn’t enough unity in this mess to right the ship. That unity will come with desperation… and we’re not there yet. 4-6 years. Maybe then. It’s got to get a lot worse before we unify over the collective mess we’re all stuck in.
