I've been watching us go through what's felt like a very similar situation to what happened in Germany in the late 1930's since 2016. The saddest thing is how many people I know that even now are still cheering Trump and his billionare sidekicks on. 路 3 weeks ago
We get the government we deserve. There are already regrets pouring in online as the racists cry about H1Bs (foreign labor), the folks who depend on socialized prescription drugs see their prices climb, immigrants who voted for this shocked by him doing the deportation thing, people who voted for him suddenly unable to start working for the government and on and on. It's so frustrating. You were warned! Loudly! But I have another post about how people don't pay attention. "Why wasn't Joe Biden on the ballot?" spiked on Google after the election. I have another post elsewhere about how 54% of adults have the reading skills of someone who is 12 years old. 路 1 month ago

Some of the regressions and abuses I've seen in the last 24 hours alone have my jaw on the ground. They're going harder and faster than I ever thought they would. They claim they "have a mandate"; they have taken a plea for positive change and distorted it into tyranical over-reach fueled by their belief in their intellectual and moral superiority. This will of course end the way facism always ends. I am sorry to see this happen to a nation of such lofty ideals (and admittedly, in recent times, equally lofty self delusion) 路 1 month ago
