I just ask incase someone has something enlightening to say. Is there going to be any level of sanity left, anywhere, while the government is going to be the nightmare circus that it’ll be in within these next 4 years?

    I don’t think any country in history has ever recovered from hate like this without being invaded and militarily destroyed first.
    Which isn’t an option anymore, due to nukes.

      This has had me deeply concerned. Nazi Germany was stopped. Who says what would have happened if there was no one to stop them?

      At the moment I don’t believe there is anyone capable of stopping us… :(

        On the other hand, Nazi Germany killed an estimated 6 million people.
        WW2 killed an estimated 70–85 million.

        I know it’s a cynical comparison, and pacifism isn’t a popular stance in the best of times, but still…
        IMO war is always the worst of all options. But sometimes it’s the only one.

          Nazi Germany exterminated ~6 million Jews, and ~6 million more other various undesirables.

        some say a comet will fall from the sky, Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves Followed by fault lines that cannot sit still Followed by billions of dumb-founded dipshits Some day the end is near Some say we’ll see armageddon soon I certainly hope we will I sure could use a vacation from this Stupid shit, silly shit…

        One great big festering neon distraction I’ve a suggestion to keep you all occupied: learn to swim

        Mom’s gonna fix it all soon. Mom’s coming round to out it back the way it ought to be…
