It’s probable that it’s way less than that, and that’s not factoring in whatever it’ll cost to unfuck everything he’s done. Not that that’s likely to happen anytime soon.

Also not counting in the brain-drain that is already happening.

I hope it’ll be better for all you normal human beings in the US at some point in the future, I really do, but fuck me if this shit isn’t scary all the way on the side of the Atlantic, and that’s coming from someone living right next door to Russia. I’m way more scared of what’ll happen when the US goes full 4th Reich.

I guess one could argue you’re already there to be fair, but I still hope it went too far too fast and a backlash is incoming.

Vihtavuori, lol.

Not American but from my point of view it looks like you need her more than anything. Her, and preferably many more just like her. Normal intelligent people from all walks of life. Decent human beings.

This is also why I’ve never had an issue with Elizabeth Warren, not that I want to be shilling for her here. I would’ve loved to see her get a real chance at the presidency though. While she might be relatively wealthy now she also came from a comparatively normal background, and she seems to remember living it, too (I obviously don’t have her voting records in front of my face, but I’ve read almost everything she’s ever written).

Got called a misogynist at Reddit back then for daring to suggest she might be a good candidate, because apparently that’s what you are if you think she might have a better temperament than trump…

I digress, though. AOC is awesome.

Part history, part cultural differences. It would take quite the write-up to get into those two in relation to Russia, but that’s the short answer.

Thank you for this <3

That’s a whole new discussion though, he never said shit about actually changing anything.

Okay, fine, he implied it.

Way too little, way too late.

One could make the argument that they barely did that for us. Fuck 'em

I doubt it’ll end in anything other than a disaster for Musk eventually, but he’s going to do a lot of damage in the meantime.

Trump probably bites it first though, because of his age if nothing else.

I can’t help but to agree with you on more or less all points made.

Warren is a good example of someone who does care and I can only recommend her books on the matter. She came from the same place as everyone else and managed to get where she has been for a good while now.

If she’d been president 2016 or any time after that things would’ve looked a lot different, probably globally, I can almost guarantee as much.

Edit: and by different I mean a lot fucking better, to be clear.

If you think that’s the worst that’s going to happen I almost feel sorry for ya.

This is 1934 all over again, but even worse.
