I don't trust anyone enough for something to actually be done. Buy guns, buy 3d Printers, learn to make clothing, prepate your homesteads, prepare for isolation and be ready to lean on and support your neighbors.

Be the best you can be, make good relationships with those around you, and brace yourselves . It's the only thing I can realistically think I alone can do for me, my family, and my community.

Is it a doomer view? I don't think so. I like to have hope that my vote can fix something. I like to think my protests are heard and considered. But at the end of the day I have to focus on doing what I actually can.

I have a similar, albeit slightly less doomer, view currently. Focus on the safety and good of your community and loved ones, and remember that nothing is guaranteed to us. Do the necessary good steps like voting and protesting, but don't be naïve enough to think that's the whole of necessary action or a magic bullet to solve the problems. Do the good, but focus on the real workable action in your direct sphere of influence. Cheers.

It means he doesn't have the popular mandate they keep claiming they do.

But yes. Half of adults are functionally illiterate. 5th-6th grade reading levels. They can physically read the words, but will only grasp the most basic surface level meaning. Republicans' started attacking education decades ago. This is what they wrought.

Surely there will be waves of protestors being kicked out on the streets with their families, left to starve in ditches with nothing they can do.

There are already millions caught in the crosshairs. Its not a choice between doing nothing and saving lives, and doing something and losing them. We are losing them both ways but by doing nothing people evade social responsibility.

I used to say "You know Monopoly is an old game, because it has rich people in prison". The moment we stopped to hold them accountable, everything went really bad.

The decades of inaction should be largely heaped at the feet of Baby Boomers, who have sucked up and hollowed out the vast majority of American prosperity.

Everyone else has been carried along in the wake of their outsized cohort's rampage.

That looks like a PieFed bug - the leading # should normally not be parsed into a headline in Markdown unless it is followed by a space. I'll give @[email protected] a heads up!

That said, there's every reason to scream at this point. I wish all Americans seeking to flee the country the best of luck.

The flag isn’t symmetrical, which is where the orginial flying the flag upside down comes from. It’s subtle enough pirates wont notice but an experienced British naval officer will and come rescue you.

sorry trashboat, apparently you were the king fascist all along

a) "Not my fault" should be tattooed on the forehead of every American at birth. In this they're current president represents them perfectly.
b) Lazy, true. I didn't put in foot notes or provide links. However, a clearer example of laziness would be responding to an internet post to complain about how offended I feel instead of starting up a browser and find out what who locally is already doing something, and what still needs doing.
c) If my little post offended you then you are not going to believe what the leader of your country has been saying about my country! He is threatening our soverignty even! So you will excuse me if my response to your offense is this: ..|..

Sorry.
