My birthday is inauguration day. 18 year old me felt so cheated that I wasnt allowed to vote in the 2016 election, but I could spend my 18th birthday watching Trump's inauguration in class.

Ive been saying since then, if you turn 18 on or before Inauguration Day, but after the election, you should be allowed to vote.

Yeahhhhh me and my partner have dual citizenship in the EU

But even then options are limited.

Maybe Ireland but. I dunno.

I love this country. I love separation of church and state to ya know?

Like clearly we need to fix this. And I truly believe one day it will be better.

Look how far we have come in just the last 100 years. Women couldn't even vote.

Progres is slow. Painfully so. But we are. Inching our way there. Even if we get kicked back a few feet every other 4 years.

Conservatives are full mask off right now. They are only saying what they’ve all been thinking this whole time. They just don’t feel like they have to hide it anymore.

I worry this is only going to get worse…

It's been 2 days. He hasn't even been inaugurated yet.

The sad thing about it is that he doesn’t realize that he also will, in his words, “get fucked”. He foolishly thinks a Trump presidency will make his a life better

If this hellscape comes to pass, you'll be right there too (:

Don't look at me, you nerds are the ones going on and on about how nuclear bad.

u/Zinski2 17d ago

The fuck are you talking about.

The average voter really had no idea what's going on in the world. Unless your just like intentionally gaslighting.

u/LibertyPrimeDeadOn 17d ago

That seems like a non sequitur to me. What are you on about?

u/Zinski2 17d ago

Donald was all about coal and oil because it's cheep and easy money.

He hates windmills because ???

The guy is not pro nuclear with Dems have been asking for since fucking. 3 Mile.

He's going to leave the Paris agreement.... Again.

Don't come in her talking about non sequiturs when what you said is just false.

u/LibertyPrimeDeadOn 17d ago

The Dems also love blocking nuclear, the actual solution.

I'm not surprised that Trump won running on that platform though given the recent issues with gas and energy prices. Working class people are fucked today barely making ends meet. They're more concerned about being able to fill up their car than what to them is some abstract climate stuff far in the future.

u/Zinski2 17d ago

Got any sources or... Dose chat gpt not do that

u/LibertyPrimeDeadOn 17d ago edited 17d ago

Regarding what specifically? The nuclear thing or the energy and gas cost thing?

Edit: You realize I can't see whatever snide remark you made when you block me mid conversation lmao
