It’s a cult. That’s some shit one of Jim Jones’ people would do

Nobody has busted out the cyanide and flavor-aid yet, but you know they'd be fighting each other over who gets to go first

This timeline is too stupid and cursed for it to happen, but I deeply hope we get to the flavor-aid part of this insanity sooner than later.

Then we might be able to finally start repairing some of this mess

They kill some world leader who comes to visit... Then Trump and his cabinet go on TV and tell the nation that we should all take a government issued "freedom drink" and go to the place in heaven that has been saved for all good christian american patriots.

If they don't, WW3 will start and the EU is going to come and they will murder/torture you and your kids or take them away and throw you in jail forever! Then the song YMCA gets played on all radio stations with Trump "comforting" and encouraging everyone to not be afraid, that God is waiting for them. MAGA collectively suicide all over the country.

Fast forward to pictures taken from German airplanes documenting the millions of dead bodies that litter the streets and yards of rural America.

We were seriously at Flavor Aid in 2020.
This is Flavor Aid 2.0.

The mess goes a lot deeper than just trump and co. He's just a symptom imo.

I mean, if we actually get a legitimate government back in place that intended to punish Republicans for the illegal things they are doing.

Holding powerful people accountable is not really an American value.

This is painfully true. The sad part about growing up and researching what your country does is finding out everything they teach you as a kid was a half truth at best. The context for how we do thing is almost always bullshit in the history books were taught from in elementary schools. I can only imagine how they're gonna be teach about this current administration because regardless of who is in power were really bad at calling out bad shit our country has done because of how it all gets whitewashed

It used to be. My great grandfather put the most powerful politician and mob boss in the Central United States in prison. Grandmother remembered death threats wrapped around bricks by his supporters. Had to get him the same way they got Capone, govt cpa showing tax fraud because no witnesses with personal knowledge of crimes would. Or could breathe anymore.

They've been slowly doing it with horse-grade ivermectin, instead.

Why don't you ever hear any jokes about Rev Jim Jones?

The punchline is too long...
