    … yeah.

    That’s about where I’m at.

    I hold out hope that the world has survived stupid and corrupt leaders before, but goddamn, I am fucking tired of living in interesting times, whether this is the awkward teen stage, the midlife crisis, or the sundowning.

    Life is conflict. We need to be ready to fight for the rest of our lives. If not for us, for our kids…or rather after this… Our grandkids. It’s bullshit but if anything, I have more purpose now than I ever did. Fixing this shits gonna take decades

    Who is “you” in this meme? Hopefully it’s the capitalist/imperialist/political elites that direct the country (this includes the Democratic party leadership, btw). If would be very unfortunate if “you” meant regular people, as it would mean that not only is your country going to shit, but that you also have decided to learn nothing from it all, and thus you are bound to keep tripping up with the same stone in perpetuity.

        don’t know if you goofed on the definition, but that is absolutely an implication.

        you feel the same way this man feels who is sad because “they” have destroyed what used to be, an ideal that never existed.

        this is basically a maga meme.
