I'm a bit of a pessimist, but I am keeping a glimmer of hope alive that this isn't the end of the story.

This country has gotten through a brutal civil war, prohibition, stock market crashes, the great depression and other bad times. I would like to believe that we will get through this and HOPEFULLY be a little smarter for it. Germany fell to the same type of grift and they made it a point to learn from it.

I want to believe we will learn from this and get better.

Germany had an intervention forcibly imposed upon them. Nobody is coming to rescue the US from itself.

No one rescued Germany from itself until it imposed itself on the rest of Europe.

I really hope the US doesn't do some dumbass land war shit like that

things are ugly, no doubt. but the hopes of a better day where we clean up the mess of the past is still here. The bond we hold as the United States is stronger than the desire to kill each other.

Liberal NYers get upset about how poor rural people in WV are treated. Californians care about the problems created by Texas but they don't want to stop sending assistance when disaster strikes.

it's the Boomer love of capitalism that is at fault once again and they will be gone soon and we'll have to decide how we feel about each other once again.

Maybe someday we'll restore the Fairness Doctrine and kill off Fox News and that type of cancer on civilization
