Americans truly are some tribal animals.
Technically there are 2 months until Jan 6 in which anything can happen. I'm just not hopeful that anything will and don't think it's in my best interest to take a stand and make change happen.
This is how they win. We let them.
I really hope Orange Hitler doesn't have a heart attack and die in the next 4 years because Vance is a competent evil, but OH is only concerned with his own enrichment and will hopefully only do the bare minimum to keep his party happy while spending all day golfing like he did last time.

Something tells me this day will eventually live in greater infamy than 9/11.
Like in 2230, provided there is still something resembling the human race, "9/11" will be just another boring date to memorize together with shit like the Alamo w/e.
The day the republic fell, however, will be a lot more recognizable and memorable.
248 years. Empires "always" last around ~250 (Let's ignore the Romans for now) so we're exactly on time.
Bull fucking shit.

They last from 0 years to 1427, and 250 is not the average.
This 250 years nonsense needs to die off.
