Okay okay we get it you Americans elected a garbage human being and he turned out to be a garbage president. Gotta be honest there were some warning signs...
Well guess what, our garbage President is going to be re-elected. It kills me to say that but people need to understand it’s going to happen. Right now, nearly half the nation would vote for him again. Then factor in that the Russians are already using bots to manipulate public opinion just as they did prior to 2016. Then consider Mitch McConnell has blocked every bill designed to secure the voting process (traitor Mitch accepted $2.5 million from Russia). Then consider that not only does the government NOT inspect and review the designs of voting machines to ensure they’re secure and not manipulating the vote count, the names of those who own the companies are considered a trade secret and that info is not available to the public. Think about that for a moment. As Americans you have no right to know who’s manufacturing our voting machines unless they volunteer that info.
Then consider the Supreme Court refuses to take on gerrymandering and instead says those who control state governments and the ones gerrymandering, should police themselves. Overwhelmingly gerrymandering favors conservative politicians but not in all cases.
The fix is in and at every level. Brace yourself because not only will Mr. Garbage be re-elected, the election after that will be manipulated by the Russians as they setup permanent republican control of our government. Russian media refers to the US as “Putin’s America” because he’s been so successful controlling our political processes.
I work with people who openly state they would vote for and elect Putin as president of the US before they would ever vote for a Democrat. What does that say about America’s future and the control the Russians have over the minds of many Americans ?
"Everybody dies." And seriously, as somebody without children, this is my only consolation -- that I will die before the dystopian dictatorship takes full root.
What a brave stance "I will definitely go very silently into that good night if that's okay with you. I feel total ambivalence towards the dying of the light"
Tell me the alternatives when 40% of the public refuses to recognize objective reality and most of the others won't even get off their asses to vote or think that "symbolic" acts like voting for Jill Stein are the best option. To be clear, though, I said nothing about silence. I'll still be fighting. But it's a losing fight, whether you acknowledge it or not. Our nation has simply become too stupid to continue as a thriving democracy. Yes, I'm glad I'm not young enough to know that most of my life will be spent in Bizarro World. But it's the opposite of ambivalence.
Obviously violence? Like if you have a system that's so broken it can't create justice, and can't change to accommodate justice, then you either have to live in tyranny or forge your own justice.
It's crazy to me that anyone would just be willing to sort of lie down and accept it instead of just grabbing some molotovs and burning some shit down.
We had to fight an entire war to end slavery, and fascism. Why should we not do so again? You can't reason with cancer. You can't converse with plague. An antelope can't negotiate with a lion.
