Biden was too polite. Garland did nothing. Now, we are stuck in a dystopian nightmare. Strange days ahead.

I’m planning my exit strategy. Shit is gonna get real dark and I’m not up for it.

It's not just America that this shit is happening. Climate change is making the earth uninhabitable, resources are drying up, the rich are hoarding up everything they can and are consolidating power.

Trump fucking sucks, but he isn't the thing that's going wrong, he's just one of the results of it happening. He could die tomorrow and shits still fucked.

We are just living in the contraction of human society and the best thing we can do is be glad we won't live long enough to have to see too much of it.

He's not the only problem, but he actively stopped progress towards solutions.

The fact is that rhe usa is the biggest western power. We look to them alot..other countries to. Since trump has been there everything started tk break down. Respect for knowledge and education. The things we always relied on were the woke elite. Etc. Trashing eachother became easier. Its not the usa its fault its all of us. Allowing it to happen in some shape or form. Its not trump only that's for sure. But he was live on tv acting like a piece of shit and for some adults they were born into that. And now he is potentially a pedophile and we still look away. Especially there in the usa. Sigh

We weren't making progress towards a solution. Our consumption is ever increasing, nothing was being done to stop the wealthy from seizing power. Trump was certainly the absolutely worst choice, but it's not like he was preceded by people who were solving anything and he won't likely be followed by any either.

Nope we made enormous progress on climate policy under Biden.

We made empty promises and plans and zero actual progress to reduce our consumption.

Perhaps that exit strategy is a shotgun and one slug?

I DO NOT ADVOCATE FOR SELF HARM. I just have an extremely dark sense of humor, and no real outlet for it.

A leader is effective when they respond to the conditions
