      This timeline really is wild.

      Like this sort of shit makes me feel like we’re just entertainment for some aliens somewhere or maybe we’re in a simulation that clips are grabbed from to make shows. Idk it’s just so fucking dumb. Like … Why is it so dumb? But also horrible and mean. It’s just so wild to me still that our president in the USA is a rapist pedo man-child misogynist lying con man who’s dumb as rocks on top of it all.

        I grew up in a sort of non religious republican household. The answer your looking for is republican voters in the US are just stupid as fuck when it comes to reality. They live in a bubble of hatred that keeps them confused about how anything really works. Its why it’s impossible to explain anything to them. Tribalism cranked up to 11.

        Took me 6 years of college to stop being a republican dumb shit. I was raised so racist and sexist and I’m so glad I grew some empathy in school.

          Glad to hear that you were (assuming probably still are) open to changing your point of view and mindset.

          It’s hard to challenge oneself to fight against conditioning, of which we’re all subject to many kinds, to think rationally and freely.

          You’re not wrong about lack of education and propaganda creating a bubble of alternate reality for the MAGA folks. Like straight up I think they’re not even living in the real world. That and the insane lack of empathy is just astounding to me. I wouldn’t want anyone to be treated so poorly as the immigrants ICE have been rounding up.

          It sickens me to think my fellow countrymen are capable of such cruelty on a grand scale. One wonders where their humanity has run off to.

        Maybe we’re in a simulation, but the script of history ended in 2020, and now an AI model is just halucinating what happens next.

        It makes great entertainment to see that old piece of shit up there wandering around like he escaped a local nursing home somehow, but it really is hastening the shrinking of the US’s hegemony. sucks to be a everyday normal American right now, there is no escape, and life is going to start getting orders of magnitude worse real soon. Buckle up folks, prepare for landing.
