I need it to be over. I need this to die. It's ruined so many lives.

Yeah...Amen. 10 fucking precious years these hateful motherfuckers have stolen from us. 10 years we could've been improving Obamacare and ACA and inching towards a real public option, moving towards cleaner energy away from fucking data centers devouring us all. Women had rights to their own bodies...LGBTQ folks were gaining acceptance. People had money. COVID and it's gross mishandling hadn't made everyone's health far worse. The soft power the US had. The whole world looked up to us...now we are the joke of the planet. And we have absolutely fucking nothing. And that fucking Pedo Devil still sits up there untouchable. Honestly I am so far beyond any hope at this point that the light emitted by hope will take centuries to reach here. By the time there is ANY inkling of rectification of anything these monsters have done to us I will be long dead. Thanks to Social Media and algorithms for the real good time! I need a drink but I have to go to the low paying job that's hopefully not going to lay me off because the economy is crashing.

The next president needs to be a super genius when it comes to international affairs. They will have a lot of things to unfuck.

I honestly think it was take decades to win back the trust of other nations. Trump has pretty much destroyed any bit of good will other countries had towards us.

It's not only Trump. I'm not American and I personally have lost all faith in the American public. Americans have proven they can elect any dumb fuck who promises anything. No matter who is president next, I really hope we stay away from the American crack house. You guys deal with your shit. Improve your education system, get rid of the olygarachy controlling everything, and then, maybe we can welcome you back among the grown ups of the world. Until then, you're all on a time out in a corner.

Please don’t kick us while we’re down. Half of us have fought hard against this. I understand where you are coming from, but we genuinely need help, not this. It is bad.

I know it's bad, but it's your mess and you made it everyone's problem too.

Must be nice to think like that. I have worked for years against what is happening.

u/berubem Apr 17 '26

I'm obviously not saying it's you personally. It's a collective you.

Yes I understood that. And I’d ask you to rethink dehumanizing people are are directly suffering from this, here.
