    It already happened. I mean, they elected the guy. They knew this would happen. They did it on purpose.

    Do we joke a lot? I’m not joking when I say I don’t much care about what happens to them now, just what happens to everybody else. And I’m not particularly willing to be ha-ha funny about how much I despise both the fascist half of the US that made it happen and the entitled, disinterested half that let it happen. I get the feeling that I’m harsher than most, but I don’t get the impression that people in general find it funny, either.

    Is this written from a US perspective? Are people laughing it off there?

      A little less than a third of people voted for it. A little less than a third against it. A little more than a third didn’t vote. There was no majority here. I don’t get this “you wanted this, so duck you, enjoy the consequences” response. A third of us fought against this. Our kids don’t deserve a hell scape because boomers are gullible.

      No, not laughing. Been depressed at the state of my country for a while and the bad influence our system has on the world.

      But I understand why other people laugh at us. Honestly, I think our species is just doomed to make the same mistakes over and over again.

      It feels like some patterns of greed and ego will always come back around and make it hell on earth. Sometimes I wonder if this is hell.

      Anyway, just waiting for my end to come and taking a day at a time trying to make the best of life that I can with my loved ones.
