I think that it will not be waged between North and South for state rights, but rather between Republicans and Democrats for human rights. It will happen before our 250th anniversary in 2026.

Don't hate me for this, but American news always reminds me of the Handmaid's Tale and how some people have taken an inspiration from it to make it a reality. With the abortion bans, anti Lbgtq+, the attempted 'coup', .... It's starting I guess.

It feels kind of ridiculous, honestly. So much of the shit that's happened in the last 6-8 years feels like something you'd see in a really low budget movie and slam it for in reviews, for the entirely unbelievable plot and too overt villains. There's no subtlety about it anymore; things that used to be whispered are now shouted from the rooftops and a frustratingly loud minority applauds them while the sensible people quietly stay inside posting angrily on social media. I am just as guilty of that as anyone else.
