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.

    Every federal judge and probably the supreme Court for the rest of our lives is going to be wholly owned by the dictatorship. Checks and balances are essentially broken at this point in the president can do whatever he wants with impunity. What about to hit a massive recession. What smart thing do you think were going to do about it?

      massive recession. What smart thing do you think were going to do about it?

      I remember 2008 like yesterday. “Nobody hiring. Mass layoffs. No jobs.”, and then it seems like that same cycle has just been on regular repeat the rest of our lives up to this point. (Meanwhile, record profits because of course!)

      This is what I really worry about. I’m still trying but still on the same treadmill. I’m not a super genius or a heartless grifter, so I don’t really know if I can be clever enough for us to get through this… And that scares the crap out of me.

      the president can do whatever he wants with impunity.

      I’m still hoping Biden uses that to finish Trump. That will lead surely you a civil war, but that’s a price I’m willing to pay as somebody who doesn’t live in the US.

      Only half /s

        They did make a solid attempt at making coups legal.

        There’s simply no way, the Democrats are going to look at the voting results and go this is what was legitimately voted for let it happen.
