Kind of tragic for all the kids who died after US Aid, the Iranian school kids, the detained children of "illegals", the victims of child molestation etc...
I mean, there are three options that I see. We vote them out peacefully, we end up in a long-term horrific dystopian society, or we overthrow them violently. I'm doing everything I can to make sure that the first option becomes reality, but I'm honestly starting to lose hope.
Sorry, but I'm actually a bit of a patriot who cares about his country, so I don't want to run away when it is being dismantled by thugs. Why shouldn't it be the criminal billionaires and politicians that move? They're the minority.
*I* believe in the rule of law, but I don't think it's actively being enforced in the country that I love. I won't pretend that America has ever been the place that we pretend to be, but there have always been people who believe in its promise. We will never achieve our potential with fatalistic defeatism. We need the common will of the people to push us in the right direction, and that doesn't happen if we just run away when things get hard.

Maybe the mirror universe The Office, anyway.
Flooding the zone, as they say. More tragic than hilarious
At least they're flooding the zone with something moderately entertaining shit.
Panem et circenses, am I right? The American population is so cooked, but hey, at least they’re having fun!

You can also move.

The user you're replying to seems to be a legit unwell person who is having an episode. Probably don't need to spend much time reasoning with them.
