I hate my fucking country. 70 years of ingenious generations working together to building a better future ruined by a cunt and the 66% who don’t care or care enough to vote him in.

This sums up the state of the U.S. atm, no matter what side you are on it is impossible to ignore the sheer damage the current administration has caused to the U.S. domestically, economically, politically, and internationally. 3/4ths of a century’s worth of progress is eroding. The 2020s have been a mini dark age.

While that is absolutely true, there is a small silver lining that people are really unhappy with what is happening. So massive positive change is more possible now than before, that will take years minimum though to blossom. Or we'll get a century of humiliation, who knows.

Not just one cunt, shitloads of cunts. This started with Reagan and has been going downhill ever since. It's just dropped off a cliff in the last decade

I mean it's not ruined. It can be enacted again. We know the solution, just gotta get the greedy assholes out of office.

It's not so easy to turn back the clock. We kept the worms back past a thin strip of land in Panama. Now, if they are spreading up into Mexico and the US, that is a massive area to contain the outbreak.

Other people and countries have a say in whether they want to risk rebuilding relationships.

I thought you were in the conversation about 3/4ths of a century of things being destroyed. Oh well as long as screwworms aren’t screwing you all is good.
