    Turns out the government actually does stuff, and if we want it to continue to do stuff competently, we might need people in charge who AREN’T lunatics. I had the whole thing backward.

    Okay, I got got by the headline 😅

    Now that I can’t afford hamburger meat or gasoline and America is stuck in another war in the Middle East, I’m starting to think putting some of the worst people in politics in charge was a mistake.

    So the Cheeto threatening everyone in the world didn’t do it?

    The Cheeto alienating all US allies didn’t do it?

    How about people disappearing from the streets with due process?

    Didn’t do it either?

    How about “grab em by the pussy”?

    Neither?

    The support for and outright cocksucking of dictators like putin?

    Trump stealing tip secret government documents to sell them for his own gains?

    All the fraud?

    The support for the Gaza genocide?

    All the extrajudicial executions of innocent fishermen?

    All the people that have died due to Trump’s actions?

    Nothing?

    The fascism?

    Nada?

    Okay, okay, I got it…

    EPSTEIN, PEDOPHILE, RAPING UNDERAGED GIRLS! THAT WILL DO IT, RIGHT?

    Wut?

    Still nothing?

    My hamburger got expensive, and NOW I AM PISSED!

    so this is literally the epitome of USA culture and values. Most Americans don’t give a shit about anything or anyone, Americans don’t care about the environment, they don’t care about poverty or suffering

    Americans care about me, myself, and I

    THAT is America in a nutshell.

    If you feel personally attacked on this, as an American, then I’m so sorry, not sorry, this behavior is what I see all day, every day from Americans. When they finally start caring, it’s because finally they were affected themselves.

    Holy shit, I didn’t even realize he’d lost Alex Jones (quote in the article):

    “Trump needs an intervention,” Jones said on March 31. “He needs to take some time off. We need to pray for Trump, that the Holy Spirit touch his heart and loose him from whatever evil control he’s under. I’m serious.”
