Economically dependent on their northern neighbor, business owners in Washington state are laying off employees and shutting their doors.

    Only significant pain will transform the US unfortunately. And it’ll either be economic or combative. Most MAGA voters are gone, but the “nothing will change” non-voters can be woken up from the delusion that nothing matters and helped to recognize that voting at its most basic is harm reduction.

    As a border state that sees a bunch of Canadian tourists and shoppers it’ll suck, but the only way out is through.

      I’m sad to comprehend that you are saying they are a lost cause and not that they had disappeared.

        Are you aware what a massive undertaking it is to deprogram people who are brainwashed in a cult?
        It’s extremely hard, takes a long time, and requires the influence from the cult is cut completely.

        So yes the MAGA cult is basically a lost cause. Unless USA decides to shut down FOX and CNN and the likes.

          We needed to deprogram the south when they lost the war, Sherman gave it a start, but then we failed when we showed them mercy.

          Now they’ve finally won.

        I’m incredibly sad about it too, it consumes a non-inconsequential amount of my family. But a large faction of the US have been trained since the civil rights era that it’s good to suffer hurt yourself as long as you are hurting the undesirables more.
