2020 was… truly unique. It was so hard to stay away from doom scrolling, and I (and many others) were pretty disillusioned by the sad fact that so much of our country legitimately supported the Orange Man. I didn’t get a wink of sleep the night of the election because I genuinely considered it to be a make or break decision for America.

My point is that looking back on it, in the end the only real difference I made was at the ballet box. This year I’m going for the Head-in-the-Sand approach. I’m done with the political memes. Done with the Twitter screenshots. It just riles me up and this year I’m gonna do my best to fight that.

    A lot of trolling about voting green party, not voting, not voting Biden. Any of these positions is pro Trump, and that’s the simple truth.

    So admit that at least, you WANT a dictatorship.

      Eh I understand the long term apathy and eventual giving up.

      They cant keep winning votes by just not being republicans. They will always not be republicans and eventually people are going to want more out of them.

        I don’t understand accepting tyranny. The two party system kind of sucks and we can work on it, but once you accept the tyranny of an authoritarian, you’re fucked. Oh boohoo Biden is old and centrist, the option is a dumpster fire that is infinitely worse.

          When will tyranny happen? Trump was president before and everyone thought that he was going to take over as tyrant but he never did because he’s too lazy for that. Biden has been involved in murdering civilians overseas for like 40 years and trump hasn’t. Trump is the lesser of two evils

              The coup failed because Trump is a lazy moron and tried to asked the military to back him up on the day and they said no. A coup cannot happen without military support and trump is never going to get that from the generals and officers who run the us military. Too many of them are democrats.

              The bad outcome that you’re worried about is happening right now the current president is supporting genocide overseas and has supported mass slaughter for his entire long career
