    get used to it, it’s only going to get worse from here on out, as if that seems impossible, it isn’t. now that trump has been re-elected, there’s no surprise this time around, and after he was rightly targeted in criminal probes these last 4 years, he’s going to take the gloves off, and come for owners, producers, and journalists of anything he deems disloyal. what we thought we were sure of about the united states and how it should operate is quickly coming to an end. this is what fascism means.

      A depressing take that I 100% share but wish I didn’t.

      The only way I’m going to be able to deal with this bullshit is to tune out or numb myself to it in some way

        Yup.

        Ignorance is bliss.

        The next 4 years minimum are going to be a non-stop onslaught of depressing and outright embarrassing headlines. I plan on cutting all news pipelines out of my feeds at the end of this calendar year.

          Yeah. I understand. I wish I could do that too but realistically I’m probably just going to pay half as much attention as I traditionally have

      Yup.

      Fools think there’s a magical reset button ever 4-8 years if we regret our decisions.

      I implore those fools to pick up a history book and find out why that isn’t a guarantee. But we know they never will.

      By the end of whatever this is workers in America will have less power and our institutions will be weakened, if not destroyed.

      Americans are about to find out what actual suffering is.

        protip: no matter where you live, you’re about to find out too. no fault of your own, completely our fault, but it’s coming sure as night follows day. the inter-connectivity of the worlds only western superpower is about to be made abundantly clear to everyone thinking this is only an American problem.
