…there’s no trying, man, it’s already undone…
Especially the last hundred years since ww1 and the last 150 since yellowstone became the first national park and started a system greatly expanded and championed by a republican president. Of course the post office is from the dawn of the country and a mark of any real society. Certainly more so than some stupid parading of military crap.
Tbf, it’s been in decay since Reagan. Long time coming to get here. Trump was inevitable when we didn’t address inequality, lowered taxes on the wealthy, and allowed Citizen’s United.

And there’s no chance of ever getting pre-Trump America back. You guys voted for this. Twice.
Actions have consequences, and you’re in the “found out” phase.
There is no non-Trump America. He will never leave now.
He isn’t going to live forever, thankfully.
“You guys voted for this. Twice.”
Why pretend the election was legitimate? It was not. This has been openly admitted.
Yes, Trump has said publicly several times that he would not have won if the elections weren’t rigged.
That said, he didn’t fabricate tens of millions of votes.
No shit. So many of us have been saying this for well over a decade
Reminder: the republicans in your life should be ostracized. For starters.
I have not spoken with my father in 6 months. I spent the previous 10 years, since I moved back to my home town, trying to bring him back from the crazy.
Sorry to hear it. Good luck.
As an African American, those 250 years of building was never for us, so while I’m happy that our unjust systems are crumbling under their own weight of stupidity. I wish it was being properly dismantled brick by brick from the left opposed to knocked over by what appears to be two elderly men with clearly anti social sociopathic and toxic masculinity, driving a triangle shaped truck that struggled to drive up a curb. The wall has just fallen on top of the poor, POC, and LGBTQ+ community. And the capitalist are going to just see the heep of bodies and bricks as a new road to drive over.
Similar sentiments here. I’m a trans and PoC immigrant, this country was never for me. I’m glad it’s collapsing, I just feel sad for the good people who have to live through it.
There’s also a more optimistic view: while I appreciate running through life in hard mode, I’d still claim a lot of progress. The situation may suck, but it used to suck more.
In every dystopian society collapse sci fi, there is more oppression, more bullying and violence against “others”. Be careful what you wish for: things may suck but they can always suck more. I don’t think an apocalypse will give you a break
Yeah, but even the left or more specifically the Dems are still complicit in the shit show we are seeing now. I really don’t want Trump in office under any circumstances, so I’m not saying to vote for him because Dems are shit too. They are definitely a much lesser shitty side.
The main issue is people are greedy. This goes back to the beginning of time. This is why history repeats itself. Just look at Rome and what Julius Caesar did. I feel like that is Trump now.
And then the Senate during that time was the same. Rich goblins leeching on society. This is a fight against the rich and against the people that take way more than what they need. Their bellies are full and yet they keep eating. This is why slavery was a thing and to make themselves feel better they used racism to call people with darker skin color than their own, monsters. People are fucking sick.
It is always easier to destroy than to build, or to protect.
What’s lost can’t be restored any time soon. Pretending constitution and democracy can still come back in our life time is just self delusion and waste of everyone’s time.
(he’s succeeding btw)
This could be the first time he’s ever been successful (unless you count bankrupting casinos, and other ‘businesses’ a success…?)
There is far too many “won’t” “can’t” “it’s over” “he’ll never leave” and not enough “Let’s make him leave” going on if you ask me.
“Trying” lol
Wrong. It took the revolution, and it has been decaying since
His neck line is so much funnier in a silhouette
