"American people"

I wish it was that widespread. We only recently starting polling a majority of Democrats as opposed to continued aid to Israel's war machine.

Fair. I don't like it but you're right. But I also didn't mean ALL Americans or anything. I just meant that for those of us who are wanting these changes, that's their response to us.

I think in 50 years they will probably identify the US's support for an open genocide as one of the tipping points for its slide from being able to hold global hegemony, because this is where it lost a significant amount of soft power.

Man, whatever happened to this show, is it still running?

May not say much but they could make a crackling noise as the last survivors huddle around their improvised barrel stove for warmth, rationing the dwindling pages until the freeze claims them too.

“And that was the beginning of the reign of the immortal God-emperor Trump (praise him!)”

No. Fuck that piece of shit. It's possible to want better than we have without about-facing to support literal fascism.

Oh, 100% agree. I was just answering the prompt "What do you think history textbooks will say 50 years from now?" in the most depressing way possible. I do not endorse Trump, Fascism or anything that will lead to a dystopian future.

Donald Trump was only the second US President elected to non-consecutive terms, the other being Grover Cleveland who was elected in 1884 and 1892, having lost in 1888.
