WELCOME BACK RIU!!! During this sites misfortune I found myself wanting to rant a bit on the reign of terror being conducted by our 4 yo rattle in hand,stable genius in chief.I found myself on Forum Forums website and without doing any recon went over to Politics section and launched a rant/apology to all Canadians over his preposterous Canada as a 51st state.I was met w/right wing vitriol and deemed a far left liberal,when I replied I was a pragmatic Dem.,pretty centrist.probably a tick left of Joe Manchin. These people including a staff (mod) some pompous jackoff who identifies in his avatar as a "hawain shirt wearer" really laid in to me,it was surreal in the back and forth I had w/this guy. I stated that Canada was responsible for .5 of a % of fentanyl crossing into the US and he refused to accept it and demanded a link,a link for well known info as any SANE individual not having kool aid running through their veins knows virtually ALL fentanyl entering the USA comes via Mexico and smuggled by US citizens at that. Man what a perspective I gained from that brief foray into hostile territory. This clown said he was a "libertarian" who thinks Trump is doing a good job,well gutting the govt. at the hands of a quasi un-elected oligarch sans any guardrails is great for a NO govt. at all , a pistol on each hip w/a AR slung over the shoulder and the rest will sort itself out may work fine in a everybody knows everybody pop. 157 one stoplight town.I told these nuts I voted Harris,I'd have voted for a FKN watermelon over Trump,and they had me in Antifa land,MAN is this nation FKD. There was NO finding any common ground at all as these Trump minions are 100% down w/every and any ridiculous statement or lawless action he makes/takes,as for THOSE who marked a ballot for "economic reasons" hoping to shave 10-15 dollars of a weekly grocery bill.You have literally condemned your country to a 4 yr shit show of epic previously unknown proportions,in terms of consequences from offended allies,broken govt,and enabled tyrants it will take a savior just to begin repairing the damage if our divided silo'd version of what is actually fact/news electorate can even install such a candidate. We've strayed SO far from responsible politics that I don't even know if there is a way back,there are SO many people complicit in how we got here that it tests one's faith in humanity.From Fox News and the legions of online fake news silos,to a sold out Supreme Court,to gutless R's in the House/Senate forgetting their oaths and going along to get along,to a blindly rammed through Cabinet made up of a rogues gallery of eager minions,to a subservient base of tech billionaires whose prior beliefs have 180'd and now bowed down,on and on and on,the few PATRIOTS who stood up words went on deaf ears. Americans knew the car was going to go off the cliff and yet they eagerly piled in seemingly in a perverse fascination/curiousity to see what America crashing looked like,well one month in how's it look?
