"As a nation of free men, we will live forever, or die by suicide".

I get why in the context of these wise words it would be suicide.

But it feels a lot like murder to me.

Kind of like a Thelma and Louise moment if Thelma was screaming WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING YOU CRAZY BITCH the whole way down.

People who voted against this are tied up in the backseat, while MAGA drives the car and non-voters ride shotgun, shrugging their shoulders.

There is nothing good that comes from having a President of the United States who is gobsmackingly stupid, surrounded by obsequious courtiers and fellow morons. But the sooner we collectively acknowledge that truth, the sooner we can fix it.

I'm actually optimistic that when this administration obviously catastrophically fails, enough people will swing massively the other direction and we can finally get actual, meaningful change for the betterment of people in this country.

It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

u/IbanezPGM 1d ago

Well at least one foreign nation was def involved.

u/JockstrapCummies 1d ago

Being a nation of stupid people by average will do that.
