AccidentalRenaissance is for photos that look like Renaissance paintings.
This means that they look like Renaissance art in their composition, their coloring, their saturation, the angle of the scene, the types of settings, etc.
π Must be a photo. Not a meme, drawing, art, ai-generated or ai-enhanced image, screenshot, low-effort post, meta posts, video, or anything else but a photo.
π Must be SFW. No gore, porn, extreme violence, blood, corpses, or similarly disturbing content. Absolutely no pornography, even if it's "tasteful".
π Comments must be civil. No slurs of any kind or using words to insult, demean, harass, or abuse other individuals or groups.
π The Renaissance part (not the photo itself) must be accidental to the photograph. In other words, no photos of Renaissance fairs, people dressed in medieval/Renaissance clothes, etc.
π NO influencer selfies, professional photoshoots with watermarks, any type of OnlyFans-like content. We are not the place to work your side-hustle.
πΈ If you know who the photographer is, give them credit in the comment section. This is the only type of self-promotion we allow.
π©βπ¦― Alt-Text for vision-impaired users in the post body or in the comments is highly encouraged. Just pretend you are describing a photo to someone on the phone.

We were already well on this path. The only way out is through. This country has survived worse.
What was worse? Seriously, what? Even during secession, the president wasnβt the one causing the rift.
Uh, civil war & Lincoln assassination?
The Civil War... The bloodiest war in American history; brother fighting against brother.

...for a little context.
I hope that ends up being worse than this. I'm not sure it will be, but even if it is, the Civil War is a very high watermark. Things can get very very very VERY BAD without reaching that point. We don't want to get anywhere close to that
I simply chose the most obvious episode. There are others that were worse than our current time. We havenβt even topped the JFK/RFK/MLK era.
None of those had the president selling classified documents to the enemy countries.
Last I checked we arenβt a cunt hairβs breadth from nuclear war with Russia.
All of the 80's were like that, the cold war
Mostly cause I kinda doubt the Russian have fully operational nukes. The minutemen missiles are bitch to maintain with a military budget of fuck you. Meanwhile the Russians cant even build a proper modern MBT thats not based off of old Soviet tanks, either the missiles or warheads are broken is my bet.
I would say things were worse under Nixon, Reagan, and Bush only because the majority of the population was onboard with their authoritarianism. In those days we had the beginning of the war on drugs, mass incarcerations, US backed death squads, flooding the cities with crack, trading arms for hostages, torture, begging of forever wars...
The population has become significantly more leftwing over the last 20 years. Even if Trump gains power again, our numbers are large enough that everything they want to do will be a brutal fight against the majority
I get that Reagan laid the foundation for what became MAGA Republican Party, but was it really worse than trying a coup dβetΓ t to stay in power?
He didn't need to, which I think is worse. I would rather live in the timeline where Trump had to coup than the timeline where he won 49 states for reelection.
I mean, you might head for a world where he staged a coup and then got reelected
No. Well not for us at least. The rest of the world on the other hand...
