Comment on Why am I seeing political ads for Donald Trump in April of the year of his second inauguration?

  Welp we’ve got farm labor, cold turkey, no cell phones, communal bunks type rehab camps for… everyone on either hard drugs, or any kind of medically prescribed anti depressant or anti psychotic.

  Thats still on the bingo cars from RFK, to my knowledge, that hasn’t happened yet.

  We’ve also got concentration camps guarded by I guess Blackwater (whatever they’re calling themselves now) for all homeless people, a few miles outside of major cities, and of course a 0 tolerance policy for existing in a major city while homeless.

  That hasn’t happened yet, but Trump has outlined that idea a couple of times.

  … that one will be super-fun as the economy crashes.

    My condolences from Europe. Most likely we will follow into the abyss like lemmings as usual, with a few years delay. US was always setting the trends for Europe, and I already worry about what happens in the old world pretty soonish as well.

    German chancellor announced his crew. Blackrock and the gang. They will already start to strip social systems down, and the openly fascist party will use the growing discontent to seize power next time. Then fascists and oligarchs will finally kiss and unite, like in the US.

    The whole “Western world” has this Virus right now, there is literally no escape. Because rest of the world has it even worse.

    What a disappointing timeline to live in.

      … Sadly, the first thing that comes to mind, upon reading your comment…

      First, we take Manhattan… then we take Berlin.

      … I am hopeful that I can make it either to, or at least nearer to Canada, into a blue state, within the next year…

      I am fully expecting shit to get very bad, very fast now.

      … At least I am white… as sickening as that is for me to say… it does make me less of a target.

      …

      Spent the better part of two decades telling my friends and family that what is happening now … is the trajectory we are on, and we must enact change now, while we still can, to avert this path.

      … I don’t talk to any of them any more, as they all thought I was insane…

      They didn’t believe ‘it could happen here.’

      And now, it has.

      And most of them would either entirely deny that it ‘has happened’, as they are neck deep in QAnon/MAGA insanity…

      …or they would tell me that simultaneously they don’t remember me explaining how and why this could happen, how it became more and more likely as the years went by… and also, at the same time, just remember me being hysterical, about something, vaguely, for no reason they can remember.
