You know what it feels like?
OK, look let me explain. Growing up, I watched a lot of TV shows. Some are seemingly timeless works of art, others maybe just stupid. Either way, many of the shows had some kind of plotline where only some characters realize there's this big bad thing happening all around us, and often they'd juxtapose the awareness that the main characters with knowledge of the said big bad thing with the rest of society. And the rest of society is just chilling, doing its own thing, even sometimes downplay or ridiculing the notion of the big bad thing as anything to ever seriously worry about or consider unless you're crazy or brainwashed (the aliens are already here, for example and it we don't do something now we're all dead).
And it feels now like I'm one of those characters. I think the majority of you here must feel the same way?
Like, we've been telling all of you. This is as serious as it fricking gets. It is not hyperbole to say that the fate of our democracy hangs in the balance. We are headed toward the complete erosion of our so-called inalienable rights.
But like those characters in these shows who aren't actually aware or who don't accept the reality of the bad bid thing, everyone else is carrying on like it's business as usual.
Sure, you'll get a Maddow give an eloquent speech. You'll get a comedian move to us to tears on the people's floor.
But otherwise, it's business as usual. People still watch their Netflix. Fashion shows are being held. Politicians so very calmly make jokes, talk about other things, pivot away from the real crux of the issue of our time.
And this is all insanity.
A majority of Americans just don't give a frick.
Scientifically speaking, I'm familiar with the models that explain and predict much of this behavior.
But just as a human being, I just can't take the normalization of all this any longer.
This is not normal. None of this fricking normal. None of this have been normal for a very long time.
I've been a hopeless romantic when it comes to democracy and a society in which the betterment of all humankind lies at the heart of everything.
But honestly, and this is kind difficult to say out loud, even to all of you strangers. This is the first time I am actually losing hope.
And I say this even if Trump gets impeached and convicted or loses his run at a 2nd term.
The fact that after ALL of this we still haven't shut the down country in daily protests means all those scientific models can explain and predict all that they want, but that won't change just fricked as a species we must really be.
Our planet is literally going to kill our species because how we're shaping the world, such that the future world won't be compatible with our biological design. The executive, judicial, and effectively the legislative branches of government are in the hands of people who have betrayed our country or allowed the betrayal to go unpunished or actively protected the traitors from any harm. And they are also beholden to a infinitesimally small number of people who just happen to be super rich.
I can go on with the list.
I know so much else is going wonderfully around the world and human progress in the last 100 years has been nothing short spectacular. But none of that will matter when we go extinct. And we won't stand a chance in fighting any of this if the world's biggest economy and military implodes from within and turns into some kind of fascist state.
What this dude is saying is not normal. This is not funny. This is all a foreshadowing of our eventual demise.
I think I read somewhere like this is witnessing the fall of the Roman Empire, except on Twitter.

Pretty much sums up what I thought.
Pitiful life for him though, waiting for the ball of fire that consumes us all.

He has elevated a punk mass murderer who has zero intention of getting rid of nukes to an absurd level. You Orange ball lickers have forfeited America's status as the shinning democracy on the hill for another country that wallows in the mud with slim with dictatorial thugs like Orange Man himself.
Will you finally admit that Trump is one of the greatest presidents the US has ever seen?

What’s your alternative solution?
I’ll keep hounding you until you give a succinct answer.

This is great copypasta. Where did you get it?

Bubba Clinton made sure NK got nukes.
He and hildabeast sold other secrets including long range missile targeting systems to China.
Jug Ears did his best to help Iran get nukes.
What the hell were you crying about again?

I seem to remember NK taking American prisoners, torpedoing a SK ship, and firing artillery on an island in SK territory....all while Obama was in office.
Now how many times has anything like that happened since Trump took office? Under Obama it seemed like war with NK was likely. Now we’re moving towards peace with them. Thanks Trump

And sailing missiles literally over the heads of the Japanese. Which is frowned upon.

Yeah, why in the world did Trump ever choose this loser to be the President of North Korea in the first place?

The problem I have with you sad lonely people is you throw piss balloons at our president but have not shown a single candidate capable of running this magnificent country. Not one.
I watched every minute of both debates and there wasn't a person on that stage capable of doing anything of substance for America. Just a bunch of weak minded people encouraging lazy losers to stay lazy, and promising free shite.
Yall fricking suck man.
