It's one thing knowing it's going to happen, it's going to be something else entirely when it does.
It's like knowing you're going to die. We all "know" our day is coming, but we don't really appreciate that until we get old or someone close to us passes away.
As much as I enjoy saying "I told you so," which is a LOT, I'm really goddamn tired of being proven right so fucking much.
The main issue, which I find with conservative voters a lot, is that unless they are obviously and directly impacted by something they will never notice or link actions and consequences.
And even if they are they will redirect it. Was inflation caused by trump printing $7 trillion dollars in one year while forgiving PPP loans made by wealthy businesses? No, it's because Biden passed an infrastructure bill.
Or you can go back 1 step further. Was it caused by Trump firing the pandemic response team and allowing Covid to be the first domestic pandemic in a hundred years, and forcing a shutdown of almost all US business, forcing the Fed to drop interest rates to historic lows to stimulate the economy, and way overdoing that, allowing the wealthy to buy more assets for essentially nothing while the working class worried about if they would lose their jobs while the investor class bought more and more property driving housing inflation while supply chains worldwide were put on hold and then jump started causing everyone to raise price to make up for lost income and increased demand causing inflation in goods. Then with goods being so much more expensive and a ton of freshly printed money driving inflation, did people want to be paid more to continue to exist, driving wage inflation?
No, surely it was Joe Biden being nice to trans people that caused this. People are fucking stupid, and I'm not looking forward to the next 4 years.
Instead of I told you so I might just start saying
I'm really goddamn tired of being proven right so fucking much.
It's been like that for the last 2 months.
Silver lining is that we're looking at a clown-show fascist circus instead of an effective fascist takeover.
This might very well not (yet) be the "burning of the reichstag and declaration of the state of emergency" part of the fashist takeover. Trump is incompetent but if he does to much damage the government might just complety collapse and musk and zuck can enact a monarchy.
I am much more afraid of the people in the second row ready to take over than of trump himself.
They moved the innuagriation indoors because "reasons". Monday is going to be fun, for sure.
What is this picture?
Looks like it's from the set of Game of Thrones.
Dude I hadn't smoked a cigarette for like 2yrs and then after election day... I'm smoking again.
Bro... Governments came and go. Don't let that dictate your health. My aunt died of lung cancer with an o2 mask clamped to her mouth. It is the worst way to go. I'm rooting for you
