Just yesterday, I went to a lecture about "tipping points" and if there is one thing that stuck from it, it is that at some point it no longer is possible to revert, and it can no longer get better (or worse depending on pov) once the unstable system has settled into one of the stable conditions
Fuck reverting. Dismantle it and build one better
What are you trying to accomplish by saying this? Do you want people to give up? Hope does not stop people from making things better. If anything, it gives you the strength to carry on. It's not too late. Trump simply doesn't have the backing to do anything to the Constitution if he wanted to - there's not enough red in house or senate to propose an amendment (it takes 2/3,) and not even half of the states have a red enough legislature to ratify it unless it's actually reasonable (it takes 3/4.) So he can do some damage, yes, but we are not at the tipping point. Democracy isn't going anywhere.
“This too shall pass” is always capable of cutting both ways.
Ah, kidney stones!
Does it get better? I haven't lived through a time like that. In my 29 years it's only gotten worse and worse. The rate of acceleration has changed but the direction has not.
Also, did you all miss the part about like no more re-elections?
This country is hella fucked and it's going to take most of the world with it.
I feel like this community is about telling each other lies, just to feel better.
I came to say this. Before the millenium I might have thought this but we are like almost one quarter of the way in with at best brief respites.
Think I gave my last fuck with this election cycle. If that many people can vote for a person like Trump, what hope is left? It's not even that a Republican won. Why the fuck Trump? Dude's got more charges and convictions than most anyone in the US and he was elected to the most powerful position in the US?
Why do we even have prisons? Apparently no one cares when people break the law.
I love bunny.

i hope others can at least try to stop focusing on bad news with this
