    You don’t understand. We ALREADY tried the Trump thing and it failed miserably.

    I was there. I’m from the 20th century. I remember the videos of college students on our campus running around late at night like chickens with their heads cut off.

    We don’t listen. We don’t learn.

    We don’t with that attitude.

    We’re doubtful to ever experience a more black and white election than what we just experienced. And we still managed to fail.

    I would love to see the encounter table you’re referencing. Rather than assuming things are as bad as they could possibly be, they aren’t, I recommend using humor as a coping mechanism. The former, assuming things, plays into accelerationism which falsely, without evidence, claims there is some bottom to how bad things can get. The latter, humor, is enjoyable.

      Not sure if you noticed, but the attitude in America is dominated by proud ignorance and failure to discern real data from propaganda.

      Not yet, but the stage is set for that scenario.

      I recommend using humor as a coping mechanism.

      That time is past.
