That’s more of a !chat post.
I cannot imagine how it must feel to be an American at the moment.
It is frankly a raft of emotions that changes by the hour, but none is positive.
What we functionally have as our two-party system is the NSDAP and what the GOP was lying about in the '60s.
I’ve neither the inclination nor energy to relitigate the details of 24-year-old events. Rest assured, we agree on what the outcome really was; this was when we as a nation stopped believing in voting.
It was the intentional dismantling of our educational system. I had a long conversation with Mom yesterday before polls closed on EST, and, yeah … I was at the tail end of competent education, and it wasn’t all that competent. I was told by the English department to never try writing because I was disinterested in regurgitating their takes on historical works, after getting my only F in high school for graphic design in beginning yearbook.
Guess what two things I’d then go on to win national awards for? You can’t expect every high school student to take those as Wet Paint signs and then have things weirdly coalesce in college.
Sure. But it’s not like we can’t attach more in the future.
Historically, you don’t want to fuck with Switzerland. We like to blow up bridges and tunnels when threatened. But we’ll take your gold.
I see nothing from the AP that suggests anything other than what I was speaking about.
I never thought I’d have to use my dual citizenship, but this? This is an affront to the very ideals of this nation, or just going back to the original text. Doesn’t much matter, as I have an escape route. Now, I just need to set that in motion. Good luck to the rest of you.
You don’t have to be trans to be fucking terrified. Trump somehow always underperforms in the polls, but we’ve now seen what this country truly is, and I want none of this. Already working on possible alternatives.
“Very grim” would be a significant improvement.
I cannot see a poll here. Obviously, I’m going with “not Hitler.” That seems sane.
This feels like a “may be able to” situation. Once they’ve completed a flight from New York to London, I can get on board with the notion of them being able to fly from New York to London.
That would be very much appreciated.
Also, I would encourage you to read my post history about this.
I actually have! Grew way more shrooms than needed. Like seriously, four fucking quarts, which I figured would made for good trade at a regional burn. Except everyone had them, too. Trading for E was a difficult ask.
I don’t often share this, but my father was regarded as Arizona’s foremost adolescent-suicide expert. The issue is self-evident if you are aware of the quality of parenting you get in this situation. This is why I want to fix the world but can’t fix myself.
I frankly haven’t believed in my own government since 9/11. This is not about conspiracy theories; it’s about the fact that I could drive into Canada in 2000 with a driver license. We obviously are the most imperial country in history (the irony is not lost on me, given how this all started).
But we started doing things like creating the Department of Homeland Security when the DoD covered that alongside ICE. I don’t understand what it’s like to think those were insufficient.
Is that fucker still around and trying to do initiatives? The $30 car tab thing was first on the ballot before I left the state in 2000.
