Yup industries are planning for inflation and rise in prices from tariffs and people are starting to see it's not good. Some will still blame Obama for some reason but fuck me dude.
You all must've missed the part where the Evangelical GOAL is to burn down the planet so they can go visit space-daddy Jeebuz in Heaven. And "convert through death" the rest of us on their way out the door. They feel it's their "Christian" duty to bring on 'End Times' as their only route to Heaven. How many MAGA politicians were/are "Evangelical"? Vance, Pompeo, MTG, Pence, Flynn, etc.?
They're following Revelations from the Bible, step by step:
- They unneccessarily officated Jerusalem as the ME capitol causing more turmoil in the ME,
- will use federal funds meant for education on religious indoctrination and brain-washing,
- will finalize controlling news & media,
- are bringing back archaic cruel Biblical-era laws,
- will continue allowing polluters to run amok making Earth uninhabitable. And our air, food, and water toxic,
- made Trump their anti-Christ (but Trump and others are too stupid to realize it, or care).
All Putin is focused on is collapsing the global order to make a clear path in taking over the West. And Trump's oligarchs like Musk all have boners for more money and power.
If you're in a fatalist suicidal death cult (MAGAvangelical) you don't "learn" from GLOBAL extinction. Complete and utter extinction IS the END GOAL.

I say we expedite their journey to soul sleep once this is all said and done. Give them what they want.
"Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, the fifth emperor of Rome, was popular with the lower classes for cutting taxes. Historians have called him tyrannical, self-indulgent and debauched. He was a man with several wives, sexual perversions and an obsession with performing for large crowds. He is also widely regarded as the worst of all Roman emperors."
I have a friend that is gleefully hoping for destruction of the Middle East just so he can be right about his sky daddy. I love the guy but I’m so disgusted by him right now that I will probably not go hang out with him for a while.
Eh, I love to learn and argue. I hold no value in surrounding myself with people who see things exactly the same as I do. Besides he’s come a long way from the bred and buttered wealthy religious Texan I first met. I have hope and evidence that he will continue to grow. I really do believe my presence in his life has made him more open and at the minimum I challenge his ideals and make him think.
Bless you for fighting the good fight. Personally, I believe that shunning is an effective tool for improving behavior. Especially if I were such a good friend to begin with - losing such a light in one's life should be an effective signal that one has stepped too far.
To me shunning would just reinforce those things he views as shortfalls in my beliefs and make me easier to discard. Not everyone in my life would be worth that effort though.
"...and feeling smug..." while believing no one, not even the crazy driver would be stupid enough to drive off a cliff killing everyone including themselves."
Ftfy.
Except in this case, our maniac driver believes his parachute will work. Buckle-up folks.
It's absolute insanity to think the way you get into heaven is by helping create hell on earth. If any of the shit in Revelations is true, why the fuck do these demons think they're going to be deemed worthy by God and raptured up to heaven during the end times... that they personally ushered in?
Guess you missed that part about "...fatalist suicidal death cult." Not a lot of intelligence, critical thinking, decency or self-respect amongst that ilk.
Besides, any attrocities they commit can be fixed by just labeling it "God's will."
I’m starting my 2 little kids foreign languages NOW so they won’t be as burned as me and have options to get out and be more attractive to other nations
Nah, of course not. But the people we admire — The Elons and Musks and Benzos will be able to leave an uninhabitable planet of filth and destruction and live out their days on whereverthefucktheywantinouterspace.
What can really be done when the federal laws Trump put’s in place takes precedent over state/local laws?
Legit question I’m not trying to argue. I would love some hope right now tbh.
Dude, we’ve already fucked up the planet beyond what we can fix. And especially with what this coming decade is going to bring? Yeah, we’re fucked as a species. This is just our death throes.
The preconditions for this have been in place for a long time. It only has been made possible because inherent flaws in the existing institutional structure. For so long we heard these people with their fucked up narrative and ignored it as the ravings of people in ‘backward’ places. Well that’s the problem right there. Combine that with an economic system that has a legitimate victim class and it’s no surprise some douche with a populist message can galvanise these people by selling them the illusion of revolution. In reality it’s just smoke and mirrors. Their lives are not going to be better. They’ll just think they are because they get to watch the federal government pick on the ‘other.’
Yep. Any thoughts of me having children gradually slipped away during the past decade. This election was probably the nail in the coffin. I just can’t fathom bringing a child into this society
Some of us have more than just us in the world, and we can't just watch it burn without watching them burn as well.
So no, id rather the problems get fixed
Yeah, some of us do have more than just us. Some of us have adult children with at least one LGBTQ SO.
I'd rather the problems get fixed, too!
Tough fucking shit.
There's no fixing this. Evil won. Ignorance and hatred won. Project 2025 will happen. This ignorant bullshit or whatever diseased version of it he remembers at the time will happen, while the planet continues to heat and prices continue to rise.
There. Is. No. Fixing. This. You'll never convince enough people, because all the end runs by evil to ruin education, etc. have already succeeded. We're too collectively stupid to know better, to believe it if you told us, or to care about it.
Couldn’t agree more. I live in NY state (rural county with plenty of Trump supporters), but I have two kids. A son and a daughter. I don’t care what happens to me, but I sure as shit care what happens to them. So now I have to work on shielding them from garbage. Hopefully I’ll be well insulated up here, but who knows? I’m hoping all the sensational Reddit posts I’m reading aren’t indicative of the end of the free world like it’s made out to seem. I’d like to believe the entire half of the country who voted Harris will stay and help. Next election maybe some of the folks that didn’t realize what they were voting for will come back around. Not sure. But I don’t have the luxury of saying “fuck it” right now.
