No. Fucking. Shit.
Journalism is just on fire lately isn’t it.
“Experts warn touching open flame to gasoline may be flammable”
People keep burning hands, have no clue why this is painful
“I think folks, that if everyone burns their hand at the same time it will overwhelm the flame“.
This is a theme that goes on and on and on.
Journalism is just pandering to this common perception , as well as the billionaires misguiding people.
American politics is weird if one thinks so hard about why this happens. Like, unsettling weird and invariably reminds me of an anthropologist observing weird stuff of a strange and far away people.
Fuck around, find out
The silver lining of fascists taking over the US is that these fascists are so comically incompetent that they remove any chance of the US actually being a threat.
Yeah, the next four years is going to be an absolute shit show. And then the next 50 years to follow due to the damage cleanup
I somehow doubt that the USA will survive the next 50 yrs intact, because the way it’s going it looks more and more like 50 little fiefdoms fighting to separate from their neighbors.
Just like Europe then.
Maybe, except the damage to America would be far worse than the EU breaking up and reverting to pre-EU status. Why? Because the United States of America is almost 250 yrs old vs the EU at 74 yrs old.
A separated America has no idea how to operate individually as there is no ‘remembered’ history on how to do that (ie: no one alive who could help lead through experience).
Europe has that history and would survive. America would devolve into civil war and self-immolate.
With people swearing things were better when they were shit (read: because they were in charge)
