I think a big part of the problem is that we’ve made a place that isn’t worth saving long before Trump came along to loot its corpse.

Let’s go back to normal so the normal politicians can tell us the economy is great as we live in subsistence with no time or wage to live lives, where we’re murdered for private profit with government’s blessing, where millions of Americans die of homelessness as other Americans condemn their very existence for lowering property values. Trump is dandy with all that, but that’s been the US under both parties my entire life.

We haven’t lived in a society for as long as most everyone here has been alive, just a rigged competition against one another to the death for capitalist scraps.

Then you tell us the Fascists are here and we should… Risk our lives to… save that cesspool of avarice and casual sociopathy? Because people other than the poors are in the shit now?

This is the consequence of the hyperindividualist and avarice stoking values of the US, values our people are still miles away from abandoning no matter how much they get hurt by it, because they want to be a big winnah one day. We made a place where it was everyone out for themselves. Those values poisoned any sense of nobility towards this cesspool.

Here’s a dark reality, not individually but as a nation, given our actions and practiced values? Donald Trump, who I voted against out of harm reduction for the record, is the PERFECT representative of the United States. It’s like the US took human form. He’s an accurate caricature of all we are, all we value, and all we idolize in practice.
