The truth doesn't matter anymore, proceed accordingly

No shit, but no one gets it. It's to my advantage though, and anyone else who understands what's happening.
Just remember, he who smells smoke and exits the building first doesn't get trapped when everyone else figures it out.
Good God get outside and touch grass
They got really, really fat, drunk and horny off the American exceptionalism post-WW2, and they never came down from the high.
This is that, catching up with them. They're not taking it well. Most of them still refuse to believe it.
General strikes should have happened months ago. You're actively letting Maga normalize miltary troops quelling protests.
There is nothing to be done if your head is stuck in the old world, which is where 98% of Americans still live.
All I've seen on social media are two distinct camps: someone help us, please we don't want this, and are you fucking crazy I have a family and a job I cannot do anything.
Enjoy the fascism, you've earned it. You'll just have to learn your lesson the hard way, a la climate change. This is only a sneak preview of what happens when you ignore the obvious for too long.
Some people just like to watch the mallow burn....
The noose tightens, the powder dries just a little more.
RIP to one of the greats. Glad she doesn't have to watch the collapse of the planet she loved so much.
Which is exactly what I and many, many other people have been screaming for months and months. Every day you wait, it's a harder fight. So your choices are act now and suffer, or act later and suffer worse. Sucks, but that is your reality.
If the Democrats cave on that, then fuck them too.
But as far as I'm concerned Trump just delivered an easy win for the Democrats - this is an easy out for Democrats to not cooperate with Republicans (obviously morally abhorrent demand) and shift the blame for the shutdown to the right.
Well, I commented last week that if I was an invited general and Hegseth wasn't going to be there physically, I wouldn't go.
And I swear I read something yesterday about Pete "speaking remotely".
And now Trump is attending in person.
Now I don't 100% think it will be what it looks like, but if I was Russia and I was on the verge of going to war with NATO, I can't think of a better way to cripple the US chain of command.
Tin foil hat on - maybe this will be the false flag they need. Crazy leftist antifa trans democratic drag queen blows up 200 generals and the president.
Why? Really?
Because as a nation you've already decided to roll over and accept fascism. No not all of you want this, but collectively, you are a failed nation and we are about to see the final act.
People are clinging to hope, even if unjustified, because the only two options are the law and the system prevail (currently all evidence says no) or people are going to get very uncomfortable and more people are going to die. Either by their choice now, or courtesy of MAGA later.
