This take makes a lot of sense, fair enough.

I guess I’m just expecting the worse because of all the norms they’re breaking. Maybe not a war, but I would not be surprised if the CIA leans on us a little more heavily than they already have (allegedly, but let’s be honest, very likely).

I’m still (probably naively) hoping people wake the fuck up and resist like their lives depended up it.

This voting system does not spark joy (thanks for the explanation!)

I feel like your (the US’) only hope is a proper grassroots campaign.

Preferential voting or bust.

Because it’s really going to be bust, at this rate.

I feel like what the rest of the world doesn’t understand (I am from the "rest of the world), is that the USA is VASTLY more powerful than the Nazis ever were. Barely any country is sounding the alarm seriously. Just “oh we’re concerned about what’s happening”.

We are truly fucked.

And we’re under the US’ thumb (Australia).

At least we’re majority white… maybe that’ll keep us safe, temporarily.

I hate this timeline, so very much.

Do they not have preferential voting in the primaries?

Is this a specific NYC democratic party thing?

I am not from the US.

As much as we’d all faun over the fall of the US empire, I don’t think fascism in the US would work out well for anyone.

Why Harris?

I absolutely hated it when I first watched, but it grew on me so much that by the end of the series it was by far my most favourite intro. None of the others come anywhere close.

The most recent ones are an absolute snooze fest only good for skipping

come from the Christian crusades originally

To me, this is equally as bad as Nazi symbology

America, you need to riot. Like yesterday. Do not let this happen. You’re too much of an imperial power, it’s gonna fuck us all over.

Fight them in every arena. Stop rolling over.

Too much to lose to fight back? Just wait, you’ll live to regret it. And so will we.

He’s much more down to earth than the democratic establishment, or even Harris.

At least, this is the vibes I’m getting.

I don’t blame him, despite not knowing that much about him.

He’ll be getting more 👍👍 https://www.forbes.com/sites/saradorn/2025/02/28/musk-reportedly-planning-new-starlink-deal-with-faa-raising-new-conflict-of-interest-concerns/

I really wish the media would stop misusing words for clicks.

He interrupted Trump to firmly fact check him.

“Brutally”? Look at what they did to my boy “slammed”. Suddenly brutally is going to mean, gently.

This is why I think it’s heinous presidential pardons were ever allowed to be on the books. Must have reminded the founders of the kingly powers they sought to replace?

How did no one ever consider that you can do as many crimes as you want, so long as the president will pardon you?

Like???

Really dumb, if you ask me.

John Green would like you to know that tuberculosis has never stopped being a thing, if you’re counting the whole world.

But yes, it’s ridiculous people are actively choosing to bring it back to somewhere it was no longer a thing

Journalists have ruined the word slam over the last couple of years

I like different coffee for different purposes. Instant coffee is mostly made from commodity coffee and blends in Robusta (which I don’t like, personally).

That said, in a pinch, or if I can’t be bothered with the whole shebang of a pour over or espresso. Mix in a little milk and sweetener and it’s quite enjoyable.

That all being said, this is some mega MAGA copium they’re pumping out.

Where’s the plumber when you need him

Please explain what you mean by this
