I was in greater despair over the US about 20 years ago.

Then either you are a fascist or you aren't paying attention.

EDIT: Or an accelerationist. In which case also still just a fascist but a more delusional one.

4th option: I've read a bit of history.

What Israel is doing to Gaza is minor compared to what the US did to Iraq. Then Obama came along.

Decades before that, the US did worse to Indochina than the aforementioned combined, but it ended under a Republican President—the same one who dined with Mao.

80 years and a few weeks ago, Hitler murdered a a despicable tyrant.

Presumably Germany recovered less than 20 years after that.

You are OK with death and suffering if there is a light at the end of a tunnel. You are a psychopath who views individuals as disposable as long as humanity/civilization benefits in the long run.

If you think we were worse off 20 years ago, you either are a psychopath or you are clueless.

Life is going to get a whole hell of a lot worse for a fuck ton of people because Trump won. Way more than during W. Bush.

What's going to happen in the next 45 months, particularly in the US?
