In other countries still, when tyrants start imposing their will and breaking the law, people just fucking drag their ass out of office by force.
America has the wealthiest, most comfortable middle-class population in the world, a relic from when we had great trading power and were on our way to become the globe’s central service, technology and engineering seat, but all that is now going away and there are raiders and orcs pillaging the middle-class.
By the time they’re done, America is going to be divided, wrecked and there will be shanty-towns where suburbs and universities used to stand, and all the frogs will have been boiled so slowly that nobody will remember how and why the country used to be profitable.
Right now, that middle-class is still so comfortable that they’re not noticing the changes. They are checked out. You all are. The number of people on this site alone who cannot grasp basic civics is more than depressing, it’s a sign of how far we’ve allowed our home to crumble and there will be no short-term solutions. We can start planting the seeds for a better tomorrow by getting involved in community and local representation and spurning the temptations of distractions and new shiny toys, but we will not sit in the shade of those trees. You all think this damage can be turned around as soon as “the liberals rise up” or some perfect, ideal leader suddenly appears out of the shadows.
Motherfuckers, nobody is coming. We let it slip, we stopped fighting the right fights, we let distractions divide us, and this is the consequence. You all should feel bad and be depressed. I have no positive news or bright side to look at. We are fucking maimed.
