Yeah I’m just done with having empathy for people that hate knowledge and care only for themselves. 2016 killed 90% of that in me, last night killed it the rest of the way.
I understand your rage. I feel it too. And deep sadness. I live in one of the reddest states in the US. I don’t know what to do. I finally had all my ducks in a row to take out a loan and buy a house for my wife, her mom, and I to live in. Now I want to flee the country. But my wife’s mom is elderly and will not leave. So my wife will not leave. So I will not leave. I’m going to buy a rifle to complement my other firearms and get my wife a pistol and shooting classes.
I wish you well through this. It’s hard to see any upside at all, at least within our lifetimes. I hope you’re able to avoid a maximal amount of fallout from it. I was hoping to retire early but that was contingent on investments growing stably. I don’t think economic stability is in the cards for us. I know that would’ve been a huge privilege. But not even those who are marginally well off can escape all the consequences of the curb stomping America just received. Those less fortunate will suffer immeasurably. Imagine if we have another pandemic. I don’t think Trump learns lessons unless it means more money or power for him. America just taught him he can commit piles of crimes and let thousands of people die, and he will still receive fame, fortune, power, and adoration. It’s hard to understand how fucked up our voters’ perceptions are. It might be studied like we do with the Roman empire. Maybe next time humanity can actually learn from it.
Yes. And most people accept and embrace that culture.
Because it’s manufactured at the highest levels and forced down their throats with propaganda.
