    Assuming we don’t end up with an actual authoritarian government, which is definitely on the table, we’re going to spend the rest of our lives watching our system be rebuilt after this, instead of getting actual progress. Just rebuilding. Because traitorous Republicans will continue to obstruct.

    That’s what Trump supporting dipshits have really done to this country. Set our progress back an entire generation. Which will allow other countries to replace us as world leaders.

    We will not see the level of American influence we’ve always known again in our lifetimes.

      It’s so comically over the top and they’re so incompetent I’m still holding out for a real revolution.

      Somebody must be doing something.

        “Somebody must be doing something.” - everyone lol. The US is cooked, maybe not immediately but say goodbye to hegemony, goodbye to whatever shred of upward mobility remained, and goodbye to the possibility of retirement.
