      we americans are pathetic. it seems like we fall into one of these categories:

      • christo fascists who voted for him
      • suburban sociopaths who voted for him
      • clueless libertarians who either voted for him or absolve themselves of any responsibility
      • NPR liberals who are basically useless pacifists
      • millennial/gen Z cowards who can’t even drive a manual trans, much less start a revolution

      it’s fucking hopeless and we deserve this. i’m building a bunker. fuck every one of you.-

        Hey, I’m driving a manual trans don’t be putting that on my whole generation.

        The problem is: nobody wants to die, we all are fed and fat, our education system has been being weakened for 40 years now, did I mention the whole not dying part?

        I’m hopeful that our institutions are strong enough to hold until the midterm elections, Dems will take Congress with a strong majority and we can avoid mass bloodshed and actually impeach the guy and get him convicted. No doubt that may be a long shot and people will suffer but I’m not violent revolution is anywhere in the cards anytime soon.

        Edit: just to be clear, I do wish we were and kind of could do more. This is just my realist take
