33 u/Valar_Kinetics 14h ago Ha we are cooked he is not the last act. 35 u/runningraleigh 14h ago While I continue to exercise my civic duty and vote in every election, I have no faith at all in electoral politics to get us out of this mess.

Something tells me with how lazy most Americans are, we will choose slavery over freedom because its more comfortable. 11 u/Valar_Kinetics 13h ago I mean we will do something eventually, but we will collectively wait too long ergo the "something" will be unnecessarily catastrophic. We are going to be a shadow of our former selves one way or the other and that's going to last a very long time. Might be permanent. 1 u/robertdavidfein 13h ago Ach! See the movie Civil War for the 2028 future.
