    What a fucking timeline. Voting one dumbfuck of a failed game show into office has brought down all of this shit on us. So much for checks and balances, LOL.

      Nah, Trump isn’t the cause, he’s just a symptom, probably the worst symptom of the decades long efforts of the GOP to undermine campaign finance. education, ethics laws, and any other law or rule that impeded their efforts towards fascism. They’ve been working on this since Reagan and we are at the culmination. They have taken control of every branch of government and with Trump as a figurehead, they are tearing down the last planks of democracy.

        Yeah, like everything else in his shitty life, Taco just slapped his name on others’ work and called it his.

        But having him in office has enabled all this dumbassery to be accelerated. There might have been all the same number of dumbfucks in the country before Taco put Brainwormz in power, but Fauci was still there and there was not a thing the fucking idiotic sisterfuckers that are the antivaxxers could do about it.

        Now those shitheads have the keys to the place. I fucking hate it. It’s quite literally putting the dumbest, most venal and most unqualified people in charge of the health of every American.

      That’s kind of the point. Trump getting elected not once but twice shows how broken the country is.

        Yep the USA is cooked. Trump represents a mental illness epidemic, and a collapse in education so significant it is practically guaranteed to destroy the empire.

        You simply can’t rehabilitate tens of millions of brainwashed morons. Antivaxers don’t switch back to accepting science… People forget that most of the “true believer” nazis died in battle in WW2; that the war resulted in a cultural and ideological “reset”, which allowed Europe to rebuild and move on. Without forceful removal, the cancer of fascism will continue to grow and fester until civil war or WW3.
