    If we’re talking about American politics in our lifetime, yeah this is tops. But it’s not history’s craziest politics by a long shot

      Hear that everyone, it could be worse

      Thanks for the enlightening framing. When they’re rounding up people they don’t like we should tell them it’s ok, it’s been worse

      Nobody fucking cares. This isn’t some academic exercise to rank crazy times. This is the very real political strategy of a party about to take power in the US. This view from nowhere shit is so exhausting.

        You mistake me: I think it’s so bad people should leave if they can, or revolt en masse. I just also like talking about history.

            I have. Are you going to leave if you can or revolt en masse?

                I left three years ago. I saw all this coming, though I still do the voting bit. Sorry it’s come to this.

                    It’s been somewhat traumatic. I had to take things back to where they began two generations ago, return to the roots that once were, though they’re new to me. I’m grateful that you and I could commiserate, at least. It’s validating to speak to others who felt the same.

                  I am genuinely happy for you, but I’m poor so I literally don’t have the money to move. The best I can do at this point is put away a little of money when I can (not often) and hope for the best.

                    I may have lost hope, but I will keep doing what I can to help. I still love what America should have been.
