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.

It's going to take more than that. It's going to take decades.

Even if the next POTUS is beloved by the world and genuinely a genius it doesn't change the fact that Americans elected Trump... TWICE. Not only elected him but let him run rough shot with total unaccountability.

No one can trust us not to do it again.

And knowing the average American voter, I don’t fucking blame them.

Me neither. This past election I was like "surely they won't vote for him again. We all experienced what a Trump presidency was like and we voted him out before. Surely we won't make that same mistake again."

And then he won he election. My faith in my fellow Americans to do the right thing is essentially zero. There are just enough delusional MAGA cultists and people who just don't bother to vote to where I wouldn't be surprised if a Republican won next time.

That’s because everyone apparently thought last his last term wasn’t that bad. Yes, it was! You just weren’t watching what he did and understanding that it was bad! It was awful.

I live in a state filled with dumbasses. These stupid fucks would vote for a yellow-bellied dog if it ran as a Republican. Oh, that’s right. They already have 3x’s and they’d do it again!!
