It’s like we’re cursed.

You can only drop something so many times before it actually breaks, and we never really fixed the cracks caused by the civil war.
Reconstruction ended early after Johnson took office and as a result we didn’t end segregation in the south until a century after the war ended.
There are people alive now who still remember segregation and some of them liked it that way. And now they’re empowered, both metaphorically and literally, thanks to the gerontocracy we’ve created.
We’re going to tear ourselves apart trying to undo 60 years of progress over the next 4 years.
I feel like if we pull through this as an intact nation it’s not going to be recognizable as the nation we grew up in until long after we’re all gone. It’s going to take generations to clean up this mess.
Agree 100%.
Although I don’t just blame the old people, a lot of them were hippies.
We’re still the same divided country we were in the civil war, racists and oligarchs vs people of better character.
Trump has, even at this early point, permanently changed the political realities of this country. He will be remembered for elevating the presidency to the point where the rule of law no longer applies.
A lot of them were hippies that became selfish assholes. People change. Especially when there are propaganda networks working to change them.
Except now every stupid, racist asshole has the ability to spread their message to millions of people.
Don’t say you agree 100% and then say although.
feel free to delude yourself, don’t try to dilude other people.
