Nope we’re in those times right now.
Showerthoughts
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
Democracy died, not with a cry, but a cheer
You had two right wing parties, where their representatives were picked by the party and lobbyists.
Democracy didnt die, you never had it.
America thought they had the funniest joke on the planet in 2016 and had to say it again.
If Trump loses there are the next two months of wondering how many people will die around the inauguration, then the next two years of wondering what the project 2027 people are going to do, then...
The only way to stop this is to fix the US system. Fix the courts. Fix the elections. Fix gerrymandering. Fix the right wing control of the media. Fix the lies from the "news".
Me: unsubbing every single politics community
Showerthoughts:
Hope you're not American, because if you are then it's gonna be really hard to block out the consequences of this election
