If we're lucky then Trump dies, there won't really be another cult of personality like him. Even now he's coasting on his old persona, he's just a grumpy old man with limited ability to remember much of anything.

Nobody's going to be fine. Tariffs on our 3 biggest trade partners are going to raise the prices of nearly everything by 25%
Who could possibly have the foresight to know that making things more expensive won’t lower the prices?
If we're lucky.
At least he's not raising the effective tax rate on the bottom 95% of.Americans.... right?

And mass deportations are going to lead to food shortages and massive price hikes at the grocery store.
They will imprison people and make them work the fields.
Nobody’s going to be fine.
Not even Elon?
Promise?
Weird way to make the economy better for working people. Hmmm
Even if you don’t match any of them… worry
Yep. I'm cis, literally the whitest kid you know, and male. I just bought a backup crossbow.

Yeah nothing is off the table. A bunch of incompetent bootlickers backing an elderly dimwit conman without any serious checks or balances? Recipe for disaster in any number of ways.
And just like everybody else, you forgot the Native Americans.
You know, the ones that they're trying to remove their citizenship based on some 140-year-old law that has already been superseded by other better law?
I really, really, don't understand how/why Native Americans are treated so bad. It makes no sense to me. Then their artifacts and regalia will be copied or sold for top dollar. It's insane.
They want the land
Oh shit, why hadn't that come up in my head? You're right. I'm dumb.

One of my best friends in childhood was Duwamish, and his family had it rough. Haven't seen him in 50 years, and all that was forgotten come meme-making time. I'm guilty as charged, sorry.
I think that society becomes hopeless at some point. Ruled by 5th-generation lizard monsters. You can't fight that.
Attend to the health of your own soul. Cultivate your own garden. Buy a gun.
I'm not even in the US and I'm worrying. Especially due to the fact that I'm both Moroccan and queer (specifically aroace). Guess I'm not visiting the US at all during his term.
Don't visit us. Don't travel here. They need to understand there's financial consequences to making this country unwelcoming.
This is the advice I'm following. And it's really sad because I was so interested in seeing the US in person for a really long time. Now some scumbag came to ruin it all.
We'd love to see you after we fix our little fascist infestation.
I just heard an ad on a podcast inviting me to visit Key West, Florida, which is apparently an LGBT resort paradise.
Not happening, not even if they paid me.

Dude I'm in Canada and shit's looking bleeeeak
Guess we're not alone.
We're never alone. Community is our strength. This is as important right now as ever.

Ace of hearts here:
At least us ace folk can hide more easily. Nobody knows I'm ace unless I specifically tell them. I don't hide it - it's just not a topic that comes up. I'm just a single dude as far as most people know.
It's not really as easy for me because I've been a victim of sexual harassment quite a few times, mostly by men (I am male). Classmates keep resenting me for "not acting normal" and have accused me of misogyny and being gay. Parents called my asexuality "not normal at all". Hell, my dad accused me of atheism simply for not wanting children. I just can't stand being bullied by society all the time.

I fit in at least 5 of those
Maybe the rest just need to relax for you to fit in
Oh, you'll be fine as long as you don't have to work to live. If you are rich enough to live of the work of others.
Everyone else is fucked. The plutocrats are going to make sure of that.
We must follow the teachings of Luigi.
And apply it with the methods of Ted Kaczynski.

I've always considered Musk to have the look of the Innsmouth about him; pale clammy skin, wide eyes clumped above his guppy jaw. I hope he will be lured by the ancestral calls and return to the murky depths in due course.

I’m one of the good ones
How did we get to this, I thought the progress he have made would have actually stuck in some people's heads (I've voters). Unfortunately, some people don't understand what the progress was for because all they think about are their wallets and control of others
Poor is the most loaded word here. Less than $300K a year is probably the cutoff.
... or actually dependent on social security or medicare ...
Always two, there are. No more. No less. A Master and an apprentice.
I'm going to be good all the way. I'm happy being dead knowing I'm not on the same plane of existence as these douche nozzles.
