  • Look man. I don’t know what to tell you. I was the president of the USA from 2032-2040. I’m also a time traveler here to warn you about this crazy pandemic that happens in 2020. Look, it won’t make sense until it happens. Everybody is going to wear masks, there’s murder hornets that turn out to be no big deal, there’s a shortage of toilet paper. It’s a whole thing that shuts down the whole planet. Point is, people thought after 3 years it was over. Turns out, it makes people go batshit insane. They elect a guy who before campaign season even starts is already convicted 34 times, but never sent to prison. He turns out to be a legit fascist and a throwback to nazism in the 1930s. And people just accept this because their brains are rotted.

    Point is, I’m here from the future. Sooooooo, can I have like $500,000?

    What?

    Oh, shit. Thats right. The second great depression hasn’t happened yet.

    Can I have $5.00?





  • God dammit. Stop being right. Ugh. How is this asshole in this position??? He tells us the quiet part out loud. He tells us he’s going to do absolutely dumb shit. Then he does dumb shit. And people see him do that dumb shit. And everyone is surprised he did the thing he said he was going to do.

    He says he’ll do awful shit. And everyone dismisses it, because nobody would be THAT bad, right?

    I mean, he told he was going to do it if you gave him power. Then he was given power. Why are you surprised he’s doing the dumb shit?

    I’m more surprised that he was given power.

    Twice.


  • Yeah. It’s the type of statement where everybody on the left is mad at trump. And I get it. I totally get the anger.

    But trump isn’t THE problem. He’s A problem.

    Lets say, 2028 comes. And lets say somehow some way trump complies with the law. Two term limit. He’s gone.

    The problem isn’t gone. Whoever replaces him on the right will be just as bad, if not worse. The problem is, as hard as it is to admit, or even say, the majority of people in this country support this type of behavior.

    They support ice.

    They support trans rights being suppressed.

    They support racism.

    I don’t know if the majority supports confederates, but a large chunk of of them do.

    I genuinely do not know how a bill would play out if they reinstated slavery. Optimism wants to say it fails. But the way things have gone? I can’t say I’m confident.

    And none of that is on trump. Thats all on the american public. Trump didn’t foster these beliefs. Hitler didn’t create antisemitism. They both just stirred the pot and used the chaos to gain and grow their power.

    THE problem isn’t trump. THE problem is America. We’re just seeing an oppertunist use these problems to his/their advantage.
