    The emergency is that Trump has limited time to break the entire country into wreckage before he gets removed, he needs to do as much economic and social damage as possible while he’s still in power. His intention has always been destruction of our country. This is the plan, it’s working.

    The damage is done, people aren’t getting this, there will be no sudden reversal, no savior comes in, no new president will be able to fix this. We are NOT going back to normal, and he wants to break things further so his actual patrons and oligarchs who paid for him to take the presidency get to scoop up the whole nation’s assets.

    Welcome to our privatized future. A barren landscape of corporate growth. We all allowed this to happen while we scrolled and scrolled and argued on the internet thinking it was going to help. While we all ignored our local and county elections, while we ignored our neighborhoods and “avoided conflict” by only attacking other leftists for not being pure enough. This happened because everyone here believes themselves to be the main character, the primary victim who deserves something or other. We all bear this responsibility. I hope my entire nation feels this shame deeply and painfully.

    There are still millions of people who believe what’s happening will help them. I will get small comfort as their world collapses, whatever their political ideology is. My anger and hate towards my countrymen is beyond measure. You all don’t DESERVE fucking trees.

      there are plenty of blue states, blue counties, etc. this sure as hell isn’t an ‘all of us’ problem.
