I've said it before and I'll say it again, but HOW THE FUCK could I EVER be proud of this country anymore??? We've done nothing to deserve respect or patriotism.
Graveyard of empires for a reason. They can try to OORAH!! MISSLES AWAY!!! Iran all they want, the resulting occupation will NEVER be a peaceful one, as there will ALWAYS be rebels in the hills and deserts.
In modern economics, a massive change came about in the early 1970s. Productivity and profits decoupled from employee wages, and continued to rise while wages stayed flat. Fast forward 50 years, account for inflation and shifts in technology, and it's easy to see that employee wages HAVEN'T RISEN in meaningful amounts for 50 years. Meanwhile, companies are making more money than ever.
And once again you fall back on TikTok Doomer Accelerationist propaganda. As someone who FUCKING LIVES HERE, I can tell you, first hand, that yes, it's bad right now, but there's SO MUCH ROOM for it to get worse. In a TRULY authoritarian state, like you seem to believe we are in, they wouldn't ALLOW any form of protest like we've seen in recent weeks. They'd roll out the troops and start shooting, which hasn't happened, because the troops DO NOT WANT TO DO THAT.
Things ARE bad, yes, but they aren't NEARLY as bad as you think. Get off the internet and touch grass.
Then why are Republicans so scared to actually DO anything characteristic of a single-party state? Why do so many of them still distance themselves somewhat from what Trump is doing? Why can't they agree on a single fucking bill??? This kind of Doomerist Accelerationism talk will actually lead to that "No Elections" future you're so convinced of.
Get off the internet for a while, dude. You need to take a walk.
If this is real, that's progress. It takes a lot to change heavily entrenched views like that, especially when most of your social circles support them as well. Now, we can rant and rave until the cows come home about how he supported Trump AT ALL while married to someone who didn't, but that's not especially productive.
Ok buddy. Would you like some crayons to munch on while you go through life wondering why nobody likes you?
