Honestly I don’t know what’s going on in the USA. You’re so proud of your “democracy and freedom” yet one of your 2 political parties is able to effectively dismantle the entire thing in less than a decade. You’re now one election away from being a christofascist state.

…and yet you’re all just going to work tomorrow. You’re all doing pretty much nothing except “make sure you vote in 2024.” So I guess every 4 years you’re going to be one election away from a literal Nazi takeover?

I don’t know. Riot or something. I have no idea how you’re all coping so hard.

    The US will struggle on until it doesn’t. This happened in the early 1900’s and war and a the New Deal saved it; I just don’t see that happening this time. We really should let the states threatening to secede do so, so they can serve as warnings to the others over the course of their slow, miserable collapses.

        And, the cities being dense urban areas, they tend to have about as large a population as the rural, red areas. Their votes just count less because land is more important in the US than people are and gerrymandering is so popular and effective.

      I mean, having a state with no hard border that could invite your enemies in, or even get taken over by them, is never a good thing. It would likely provoke war were something similar to that to happen.
