That isn't even counting the return to being a slaver nation-state.

We never stopped enslaving people. You just don't have to see it much

As someone that had a partner that was incarcerated I have seen it thank you very much.

Trump is not going to deport people. Trump is going to use them in prisons to make Trump-jeans and Trump-shirts and sell them at first.

And when everything else is too expensive to buy because of tariffs we will be required to buy Trump brand everything. And the items will all be made with prison labor and seem like such a great deal.

3/5th compromise.

13th amendment has the word except in it.

Jim crow laws and trageted over policing.

Slavery is an unfortunate but undeniably long and rich part of american history.

Non-voters are feeling pretty proud these days too.

I was just about to ask what about all those non-voting assholes, so many of them... a whole handful of lost generations in there, generations that could've, but wouldn't, bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe or whatever.

"Gimme what I want in one election cycle... as if you had a magic political wand... as if it's easy to also simultaneously contend with a batshit crazy right-wing hellbent on obstruction and sabotage... or I'm gonna throw the whole thing down the toilet for myself and everyone around me and on down the line."

It may not be a coincidence that it also reads as:

"Vote for a woman? When pigs fly!"

What a mediocre batch of generations, throughout the decades. All mediocre seemingly in the exact boring same ways, in many respects. Y'all seem to be dead inside, out of boredom with yerselfs.

"both parties are the same" is such a BS reason to not vote, we literally had a white old felon rapist on one side and a former prosecutor female with a spotless record on the other side and I still heard that exact reasoning several times from a number of kids at my HS who just turned 18.
The one I did mange to convince to vote then voted for the felon.

Fox News has spent the last few days trying to convince people that RFK jr is the enemy of big Pharma and that Hegseth is some sort of decorated Veteran.

They haven't spoken very much about Gaetz because then people might find out he's a Pedophile who gave hardcore drugs to child prostitutes.

The Fox news base won't care since Gaetz is a trump Republican. They're very unconcerned with the behaviors they lament if they come from within the party.

Nothing more elite than a (purported) billionaire.

I don't think the campaign ran against elites. They ran against beurocracy and totalitarianism.

Then help make it better instead of logging on every few months to say it sucks.
