Elections have consequences, I’m not really getting that folks are digesting the enormity and minutia of everything that is going to change for the worse, to the detriment of all humanity, and the steps Trumps MAGAts are taking to make sure it can’t be restored for generations
Yeah, it’s only just now dawning on a lot of Americans how much of an impact their choices have, and how the foundations of their government have always been built on a general consensus to not rock the boat and just carry forward with traditions and whatnot.
That’s the case with every government, really - governments are just a bunch of humans agreeing to do things a certain way and if enough of them decide to stop doing it that way and do it a different way instead then that’ll just happen. Doesn’t matter what’s written on bits of paper, what matters is how everyone agrees to behave. Other parts of the world have seen their governments change drastically in living memory, or have a long history of it. Americans apparently didn’t realize that it could happen to them too.
This is a huge shakeup of their complacency. Hopefully it’ll result in better long-term choices in the end, we’ll see I guess.
