For me, it's exactly the same as it essentially has been since 2016. The world is not on my side and if you are like me it is not on yours either.
Remember, the world was always against us.
We are The Losers, the creeps, the weirdos. We are The underdogs that nobody roots for and that's the way it has always been.
Nothing has actually changed for us, Kamala was not an ideal president, she was just not Trump. Same for Biden. We haven't had a good president since Jimmy Carter, Obama had the potential but had the Senate and the house against him the whole time.
I am anxious about the future, about all of the potential terror that we may face over the next 4 to 40 years.
All we can do is all we have been able to do.
Help each other out.
Care.
Shine a light no matter how dark the world gets.
This too shall pass.
I understand and agree. For many people in our country, it hasn't been a pleasant ride regardless of who is president. I think we're all going to think of the Biden years as the golden years in the not too distant future though. Goodbye EPA, network neutrality, the FCC, National parks and every other safeguard we have in place. We're going back to full on robber baron times.
What I truly don't get is, why do the oligarchs in the US want a shitty and abused country? So their number is a little higher? It's no fun being around cities where the people are depressed and unhappy. Look at Dallas or Orlando, soulless and empty. I guess we're supposed to be the workers for the rich people's disneyland. Weeeee.
