    Sure, but it’s about to go from awful to historically atrocious.

    Everything that’s broken now is going to continue to be as broken or get worse, and a ton of other things are going to be broken beyond repair.

    Don’t be fooled by the business as usual behavior of the Dem leadership now that they’re not trying to get elected; this is fucking catastrophic for the entirety of humanity.

      Im not fooled, I just think americans have been doing the whole emperors new clothes thing for a long time. It has always been built on nonsense and bravado and now it will be crippled by it. It is so very obvious that this is a mission of america’s enemies but it is deserved at this stage.

      I agree it’s dangerous, but 85% of humanity live in countries that are already either on USA’s shit list or don’t-give-a-shit list, and have never benefited from a Democrat US government either.

        Yes, I know. My point is that what’s already bad is gonna get much worse.

        As awful as the Neoliberal status quo that the Dem leadership lost all parts of the government insisting on, the first Trump administration was just a trial run where he was often hindered by people with a modicum of scruples or those without being unprepared to the point of incompetence.

        Jan 6th was the Beer hall putsch. They’re doing the night of the long knives and the Reichstag fire simultaneously while the Mango Mussolini takes the train to Rome Washington. Additional reference to 1920s and 30s fascism.
