You know, DOGE, fascist president and corporations dictating what people can do, institutions being ruined, laws being ignored. Is there any way out of that or is it over? Is the USA done?

    We been screwed for decades; all the minor plot threads, foreshadowing, and chekhov’s implements are all just coalescing at the same time for one last grand finale.

      Barry Goldwater, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Newt Gingerich, Mitch McConnell, and now Trump (and arguably many others along the way) have been choosing self over country and intentionally breaking safeguards for longer than most of us on Lemmy have been alive. It’s indirect violence. But it’s violence regardless. And they’ve gotten away with it so far.
