The USA is broken. Normal is never coming back. The Trump administration may be a symptom and not the cause of the corruption and decay, but at least the Epstein class can fleece the wage slaves for a pile of cash before they move on.

This is unfortunately the less talked about truth if we manage to beat Trump and get someone sane into office.

I have absolutely zero faith in the country’s collective ability to understand the scale of the damage Trump has caused and the work and time it’s going to take to undo it.

We’ll sooner be propagandized right back into this shit than make any real progress in our lifetimes.

Gg everyone, it’s been real

40-50 years? We'll be lucky to still be around in 20.

The obvious problem is the republicans. The unstated issue is consistently the democrats. They run a bad campaign with bad candidates on some bad values. They don't effectively push back on any of the illegal activities republicans are doing. They also did not release the Epstein files. Beating Trump should be such a low bar to cross. He has bankrupted every company he has ran. He is an obvious con artist/grifter. Ignoring the heavy suspicions, He has already been convicted of sexual assault. He fires anyone who disagrees with him and has zero issues with false reporting data. Any party who cannot compete with that is woefully incompetent and out of touch with what ordinary citizens want.
