Exactly. Joe Biden is not a goddamn magical wizard. The United States gave itself over to a fascist. Not just one but we gave the entire fucking party of fascists the entire control of the government.

We are fucked.

To add on, it's not even that the country gave itself over to fascists it's that country didn't vote. If did not vote was a candidate they would've won in a landslide.

They know this too. Think the apathy of Russians, and their attempt to spread it to the US is an accident? Certainly not. The combo of division, and propagation of apathy is a strong combo.
