I will not be going back there until shit calms down.

Don't expect it for a long time. You talk about the Erasmus to teach people they're just like everyone else to prevent an internal war.

Here in the states, I honest to god cannot see how our two sides can come to a peaceful resolution and that terrifies me.

Instead, the anger will be pointed at minorities.

For a time. How long until "Democrats" are the ones that are taking their jobs and food.

And I don't mean the politicians.

I'm usually also following up on States Rights stuff. It's good to do that even with the illusion because when you live in the south, you're in the minority if you don't believe in states rights being the reason for secession.

I'm stuck here with you, living in a red state.

I spent years trying to convince people to vote. Not just presidential elections, the yearly local shit too. It's become one of the big things I've been doing a lot.

When I had people I respected proudly tell me they didn't vote either way, I lost hope for this damn country that if one this fucking important couldn't get them to bother, nothing will.

I can't blame people for leaving after that, I'm not sure I have the energy in me to keep beating the drum if I'm completely surrounded by people who are in far more danger than I am giving far less shits than I do.

I remember a post where people were asking millennials what their retirement plans were.

Vast majority of it was either suicide or hoping work would let them clock out before they dropped dead.

Shoot John Wilkes Booth before he got into the theater.

I'd like to remind we're only 3 months in and that's the scenario we're looking at.

I don't have the imagination for what the country will look like by December.

"All men have an emotion to kill; when they strongly dislike some one they involuntarily wish he was dead. I have never killed any one, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction."

US here.

I'm betting we'll be outright giddy this year compared to next year.

I'm stuck in a red state and surrounded by them...

It's not great!

Hahahahahahaha

Wait, they're serious? Let me laugh harder!
