So basically we started a war with a country that can single-handedly fuck the entire world’s oil supply any time they want because of geography and we had no plan for if that happened? Is this correct?
At the end of the day, it’s just bad people being supported by stupid people.
The whole world is suffering because someone turned “why isn’t there a WHITE history month?!” into a political party.
“…there is a darkness reaching like rust into everything around us. We let it grow, and now it's here. It's here and it's not visiting anymore. It wants to stay.
The Empire is a disease that thrives in darkness; it is never more alive than when we sleep.”
To every MAGA genius screaming “bring back manufacturing” to avoid tariffs:
You clearly don’t understand how the world works—or how anything works.
—“Bring it back”?
That takes years, if not decades. You think you’re just gonna snap your fingers and suddenly there’s a factory in Ohio cranking out iPhones or Teslas?
You don’t even have the workers, the engineers, or the fking raw materials.**
—Labor in the U.S. is expensive.
Why do you think corporations moved overseas in the first place?
Because you don’t want to pay $99.99 for a pair of socks.
—Raw materials come from everywhere.
Cobalt? Lithium? Rare earths?
You can’t dig those up at your cousin’s barbecue.
Even American-made goods rely on global supply chains—you break that, and the whole machine stalls.
—No country is self-sufficient. Not even the U.S.
Global economy means global survival.
Cut yourself off, and the collapse starts within months, not years.
Industries die, costs skyrocket, and your Walmart shelf starts looking like Soviet Russia.
—And stop whining about “declining birth rates.”
When you isolate yourself, economically and socially, people don’t f**k, they don’t move, they don’t build.
They stagnate.
And apparently, the only action MAGA gets is in family reunions.
America isn’t another planet.
It’s just one country in a massive, connected world.
And if you can’t handle that reality, maybe your cousin-wife can explain it to you.
Kamala Harris didn't lose, America did.
As a nation, we collectively failed her—and in doing so we failed girls and women, the LGBTQ community, people of color, Muslims, Jewish people, immigrants, the sick, the poor, the elderly, the people of Ukraine, and Gaza, and the planet.
It's unthinkable, that instead of being able to celebrate a beautiful, hopeful new chapter in the story of this nation with a leader who appealed to the best of our natures—we will instead be holding a postmortem for democracy as we enter our 250th year, stewarded by a malevolent sociopath who despises empathy and shuns the law.
I truly thought we were better than this, that our shared humanity would show up. I thought we would reject this hatred and ugliness once and for all.
I hate being wrong about the majority of the people of this nation.
I don't know what's ahead. All I know is that good-hearted human beings are more necessary now than ever.
We did all that we could to avoid this moment, but now that it's here we'll just have to decide who we will be.
There is no way to comprehend or measure how grievous an error this is, but the only thing the decent people of this nation can do is wake up tomorrow and fight like hell for what we still believe is worth the fight, and we will.
I'll be doing that with whoever has the strength to join me.
I'm mourning the country we could have been and the one we apparently are—but I refuse to give up believing that compassion is the right path, that diversity makes us better, and that love is greater than fear.
