[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s the United Stated darkest era that we’ve entered into. [b](1)Half the people don’t care, [/b]of course. But it’s bad. The rug has been pulled out from all of us and most are too ignorant to notice, or won’t put down their social media apps to really research and figure out the truth and the propaganda aimed at manipulating how they think. And the right has hijacked every single notion about the United States. We are unrecognizable to the world. The economy is tanking. Job losses. AI taking over. An autistic, narcissist has taken over the government without repercussion. It’s also too expensive to live unless you are a millionaire or billionaire and all of those people couldn’t give a rats ass about the rest of us. [b](2jHow nice it must be to not care, eh?[/b] To live in those gilded cages (and underground bunkers btw) while everything else suffers. Unless a miracle happens, the United States and any ethics, morality, diplomacy, is gone. But that’s the the maga way, isn’t it. [b](3)Blind everyone into stupidity. Push the hate narrative. The fake narrative. Push the Propaganda 101 of repeating narratives non-stop,[/b] even though they aren’t true, every though they hurt us all, because in the end people start believing them and questioning anything else but that. We’ve been check-mated. The right is complicit. SCOTUS is of no use and on maga’s side. We are never coming back from this. So buckle up America. Or prove me wrong.[/quote]

[b]1.[/b] it’s way more than half. If you need proof look at how the UHC [i]murder[/i] caused a majority on [i]both sides[/i] of the political spectrum to agree.

[b]2.[/b] Hun. This is literally what those of us i. The bottom 90% of the income distribution scale have been saying for a gpod decade or two. It must be nice to ACTUALLY be making economic gains and having the luxury to prioritize making sure trans kids can play in the sports teams they want, or being able to protest for open borders and not worry about public services being stretched, or being more concerned with how other countries view us instead of actually trying to take care of our own here (and yes, Republicans are shit about this, but at least they’re honest about not caring about welfare… Dems just make empty promises)

[b]3.[/b] I see the hate on both sides, from the supposed “white majority” wanting to perpetuate their “advantages”, to the absolutr hate and disdain for white cispeople/anyone not considered “oppressed” by sexuality/gender/race standards that Democrats want to use as a lense to view every single issue through.

The one thing you’re right about, OP—is that shit is horrible enough and depressing enough that IDGAF. I supported Obama, voted for Hilary, Voted for Biden, and then recently voted for Trump.

“Burning it all down” by voting for someone who does not fit the mold of your regular politician will give us more of a chance than electing someone chosen by elites to perpetuate the status quo.

And as much as people like yourself want to blame any number of things (racism, Republican lies, xenophobia, global trends against incumbents, etc..) the only people to blame, are those who have taken turns going in-and-out of power for the past half a century. Thinking the general population won’t get fed up to the point where someone like Trump can win multiple times, despite all the attacks on him.

And you know what, I could absolutely be wrong. Maybe he’s the literal anti-Christ and has us ALLL fooled. But voting for him was still, at this point—a worthwhile gamble because the status quo is so awful.

Small point - murder is the term for premeditated homicide unjustified by law. Not convinced that what Luigi did was murder.

The status quo is awful. As someone from a LMC background, I get it. The deck is stacked against people like us.

But I also see that a lot of my former peers and family members made a lot of unforced errors, and that includes a lot of short sighted decision making and an inability or unwillingness to delay gratification for even a moment. The deck is stacked, but personal decisions still matter. It’s harder to get ahead, but not impossible. But if you’re going to act entitled and not invest in bettering yourself or examining how your own choices may be holding you back, you might as well give up.

The GOP elite knows this. It’s why they are cutting social programs left and right with little care to who is affected. They don’t think you deserve their money because you’re white, but they’re happy for you to think that. The more you blame others for your misery,  the less you’ll blame yourself - or worse, them.

I really do feel for the working class that voted for Trump. It’s just another bad decision they made in a string of bad decisions that have held them back. But I feel a lot worse for the people they are vilifying who did absolutely nothing to them and don’t deserve the attacks and violence they are getting.  So while I have sympathy, it only goes so far. Ya’ll are gong to have to experience this now for you to learn. [/quote]
