These might be the good old days. Go outside, feel the grass, say wassup to your neighbors,... whatever you do that means community, because sh*t might get bad for a while.

Democracy died, not with a cry, but a cheer

Then you’re showing your privilege, and clearly haven’t seen the thousands of images and videos of shredded children coming out of Palestine for the past year.

Ok everyone chill. Yeah, it sucks. But we kinda foresaw this ever since Biden decided to run again. Take a deep breath, think about it more later. The worst thing is to be angry instead of smart. Remember George Floyd. Remember specifically how everyone got angry and did dumb things about it, and today efforts at police reform are actually in a worse place than they were before he was murdered on video.

Think about ways to counter Trump that will be more effective and less just expressions of rage. I think the biggest problem is the media that really plays to Trump's reality TV-style politics. It's not enough to wine that the voters are too stupid, but what do we do about it?

It’s not enough to wine that the voters are too stupid,

this is ultimately the problem though. The voter base is fucking retarded, and it's fuelled by a massive propaganda machine. There is literally nothing we can do here.

Not if you're a wage earner, sadly.

We might be living the final moments of not being terrified what the US President is going to do

Come on dude... I live with that since I can understand the world, US can introduce democracy to my country in any moment doesn't matter who is the fucking president.

Jesus Christ people.. these are humans who voted with concerns for themselves and their communities. Just because you didn't get what you wanted or you did get what you wanted doesn't mean it's carte Blanche to say the most fucking heinous shit about each other.

They wants us divided.

I understand that liberal YTs have nothing to fear.

But genocide Joe has been pushing genocide for more than a year.

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

It's a little funny to see Americans saying "genocide joe" like if the USA endorsing a genocide was a temporal thing and not the freaking constant of the last century

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 9 points 2 months ago

Hey! The US has been genociding people way longer than that. Give them some credit.

Honestly it doesn't matter who wins the election. Bam I said it.

Well it does technically matter but I don't think it is worth getting stressed about. Your vote is just a small part in the process. If something bad happens you can deal with it then.

Something tells me this day will eventually live in greater infamy than 9/11.

Like in 2230, provided there is still something resembling the human race, "9/11" will be just another boring date to memorize together with shit like the Alamo w/e.

The day the republic fell, however, will be a lot more recognizable and memorable.

248 years. Empires "always" last around ~250 (Let's ignore the Romans for now) so we're exactly on time.
