yeah the scariest part of if we get through this. What its going to take to get anything like last millenia normal.

Last time it took over half a million dead, including a president, and several constitutional amendments.

Slow decline into poverty, corruption, and insanity is more likely this time imo.

yeah I don’t get how people can support making exceptions to law to allow their stuff and then still live in a country of law and order without it being a facist state. you have to make the rules first and then abide by them not make them up as you go.

I don’t think my fellow Americans understand anything more complicated than “It feels like this should be legal/illegal so someone needs to make it so.”

The longer I live the more I find that the truth is banal and stupid. Nobody is holding the reigns, they are just floating along on vibes.
