We might be living the final moments of not being terrified what the US President is going to do
These might be the good old days. Go outside, feel the grass, say wassup to your neighbors,... whatever you do that means community, because sh*t might get bad for a while.

Like. Did people forget how insane everyday was when he was President? Like you never knew what was gonna happen he was always wanting the attention.
"There's a horse. In the hospital."
I'm just going to keep riding this horse until it fucking dies but the very first thing he did was take everything Obama did during his presidency and throw it out the window, including the pandemic playbook.
That playbook would have given us step by step instructions and reactions to deal with any type of suddenly erupting national pandemic like Ebola or coronavirus.
And because of this, which was by all measures a racially motivated attack on Obama, more than 1 million Americans died in a badly managed pandemic.
Trump's racism killed a million Americans.
It undoubtedly exacerbated the problem for the entire world and his total kill count is likely much more than that.
How can you let somebody who genocided millions of people through racism sit in the oval office?
Well maybe if HARRIS killed Millions of Americans SHE could have WON this Election!
It's a cult. They have people denying COVID ever existed. Heartily rejecting vaccines.
There's just too much to list but it only ever makes sense if you take whatever he's doing as right and readjust everyone around him to work does it ever make sense.
The fact that this election is even close is absolutely insane to me.
Se simply by popular vote because people are supporting that shit, knowingly or unknowingly
It's crazy that the vote is apparently close. Really goes to show how many "average" americans have utterly lost any connection to actual reality and have guzzled enough of the kool-aid to believe the weird whacky world of wonders the religious fascists constantly conjure up.
I wonder though, is this ultimately a failure not of the education and internal offices, decades ago? We let schools let people down, leading to them becoming undereducated terrible parents who let their kids down and made them vulnerable to be exploited by republicans and churches and crypto grifters. :(
Racism and misogyny. That is all it is.
Large part of the country was built on that foundation. Shocking how proud of it they are.
And propaganda. LOTS of propaganda.
That's not all, probably not even the main one. It's a major cost of living crisis and impoverishment of average people while companies and the richest get richer. Neither the Ds nor the Rs want to do anything against it, they get their money from there.
The people kinda understand this. But they're not intelligent enough to distinguish "actually changing the system" with "just saying they're gonna change the system", like Trump does. Trump is always talking about uprooting the deep state and bringing an "average person"(white middle/lower class) perspective to politics, and people just gobble it up and believe it because he's kinda good at talking with conviction.
Of course the misogyny and racism is part of it and an extra, but it's not the main reason at all. For some people it is, of course.
That's a really black and white way to look at it. These are complex issues. Any attempt to find a simple explanation to them is by definition going to be oversimplifying it massively.
Dont take polls so seriously. Even pollsters know that they have no idea how accurate they might be.
exactly what i was thinking about. it was such a tense and shameful period.
I woke up every day worried that we'd nuked Spain overnight.
Yes.
Just as insane as it is today if you ask me
