    I remember this. This was a turning point. That and the bailouts.

    Bailouts said, "I'm for the rich." Flint said, "fuck the poor."

        You may not have been paying close attention. Obama was astoundingly better than Trump, but invasive spying on citizens was allpwed to remain legal under his watch, and he extended what was allowed. Drone striking questionable targets started under him as well. There's more, but those two are the highlights usually brought up.

          It was 2014. That was the final year of that Obama high where things really felt like they were turning a corner before we were slowly confronted with a world where Donald Trump might actually be president, and the only one standing in his way was somehow Hillary Clinton, a woman that Republicans had been preparing to beat for literally 20 years.

          Its whatever best year you remember. From my perspective, its been sharply downhill since 2000.

          Those older than me often say it went to shit during the Reagan years. Its been slowly getting worse for a long time.

            Syeve bannon was behind the media push that ended it. He's talked about it in interviews.

            Steve Bannon gave birth to GamerGate through WoW guilds.

            Insert small to large dominos meme where the small domino is some disheveled guy playing WoW at 3 AM talking about how women suck and the large one is Donald Trump recreating concentration camps, J6, or whatever dystopian bullshit else that has happened in the last few years.

                    Dimpled chads and the Brooks Brothers riots. The Jingoism that followed 9/11 masked the turn things would be taking.

                      This is actually the right answer. Russia invaded Crimea in 2014, and we're all still in the middle of what is essentially a no-declared-sides WWIII now. 2015 was good, but things had shifted in the world a bit. Countering China was starting to become a huge deal suddenly for the US, and China moved into the South China Sea and did some currency revaluation that was all aimed at their 2029 and 2049 CCP anniversary goals.

                      Also, I was in fucking phenomenal shape.

                        The old people who run the world feel the weight of their impending deaths, but in their narcissism they have mistaken it for the oncoming end of the world.

                            The moment when Harambe died was when the timeline split.

                                        Its whatever best year you remember. From my perspective, its been sharply downhill since 2000.

                                        Those older than me often say it went to shit during the Reagan years. Its been slowly getting worse for a long time.

                                          The worst the obama administration got was a typical couple of weeks of the Trump administration. It is so much worse now it's unthinkable it could have gotten this bad when looking from the perspective of 2015.

                                          Your mistake is viewing trump not as the obvious fash continuation of the state/capitalism but as some kind of unique magical monster.

                                          That's how we got here.
