And assuming we don’t straight up lose our democracy, we’re at least going to experience a long period of decline, possibly lasting the remainder of our lives.
This isn’t going to magically change 4 years from now, even if the pendulum swings back and we vote Democrats into power. Our society just proved itself to be utterly uneducated and intellectually lazy. We’re just going to keep digging ourselves into a deeper hole. And that’s assuming in the next 4 years Republicans don’t change things in such a way as to ensure they can never lose an election again.
One way or another, we’ve lost. The only question is the speed at which the decline will take place.
Yeah, and it’s not just economic woes we have to worry about. We’re going to backslide as a democracy and ethically as a nation. We’re going to lose allies. NATO is going to be impacted and that makes the world a much more dangerous place.
We’re going to be feeling this decline for a very long time. Elections have far reaching consequences and we apparently did not learn that from Trump’s 1st failed presidency.
I truly did not believe this shit would come to pass
No one ever does. Then it happens. And history is there to tell the story and warn us, but apparently the majority of Americans didn’t bother paying attention in history class.
For the sake of your kid I hope you live in an area that’s willing to push back and maintain a strong public education system and rights for its citizens. And do whatever you can to resist while staying safe.
Yup.
