    It’s over for the US. The important election was 2016 and we didnt even know it. I think it’s just best if America settles into its new role as third world Nazi country.

      The important election was 1980, maybe 2000. Every election is important, for that matter.

      And no, it is not better if we accept this. “Oh, well, Nazi Germany is invading countries and killing Jews, LGBTQ+, Poles, many many other groups. Welp, I guess just let them keep doing that.”

      Except a) we still have the biggest nuclear arsenal on the planet, b) there really is no settling with fascists, they will keep genociding and invading and stirring shit up until enough people finally get sick of them and put it to a stop

        US ain’t nuking anyone (maybe itself). The world is gonna let the US rot from the inside out and everyone will easily transition to another ally.

        No thing on earth is irreplaceable. US is just getting replaced.

        I think they should just go full on crazy to thin that lead poisoned herd they have. Maybe a civil war is the answer. With like, 80% casualties.

      I mean, you’re not wrong…I thought we had a chance when 2020 came and Biden turned it around for a bit… but then people gave up… Yeah, he was old…but you know what? He was old and sane, unlike the psychotic fossil we have now…

        Well yeah. If that’s what you think Biden did then it’s not surprising that you also think he was sane.

          Hey I got to keep my job through covid. I didn’t die (though came close in 2020) The Chips act pumped a lot of money into the industry (until the fascists killed it)

          He did ok as president. The mistake he made was thinking he could run for a second term. That’s the one thing I have difficulty forgiving him for… He should have handed over the reins at the end of his term and let Harris run a full primary…

            If you’re labor aristocracy and view the stock market as the economy, sure.

            For everyone who lives in the real world he was just as bad as Trump, cable news just didn’t put it in your face and spoil the grift.

            Fun trivia question: at what point in Biden’s Presidency were those “kids in cages” at the border released?

          Congrats on falling for fascist propaganda. The man had a stutter. Everyone makes occasional gaffes (q.v. Obama and the… 53 states? whatever, many many examples of every fucking politician saying SOMETHING stupid at some point)

          From everything I’ve read about him he was a kind, caring, giving individual who cared deeply for this country. I’ve seen nothing to suggest otherwise.

            Rich people sure do have a way of making themselves look good. How many bombs did he drop?

              Every president drops bombs… That’s gone on since the beginning of time… But some are more judicious about HOW they’re dropped (and where) and some just let shit fly…

                  A lot of them certainly are, shitting on the ones that recognize that and are trying to make it better just makes you a shitty person. Even if folks disagree on the method we should be able to support each other against all the bigotry and hate rather than self divide. The further the US festers the more likely the cancerous shit continues to spread. I for one care about any and all marginalized and vulnerable folks in whatever country they happen to be stuck in.

                  Sure am tired of people whose countries might be better off for now, but who certainly have their own fucking problems with rising fascism taking such glee in shitting all over the US just because we’re struggling a lot more.

                  I’m sure you’ll have something stupid to reply with that you think is witty. I won’t see it.
