Please, Reagan would be fucking thrilled. After the Republicans installed their dream government style in Russia after the Soviet Union collapse, it’s been their goal to bring it to America. The only thing that would make Reagan disappointed is that he didn’t get to be king.

As much as it pains me, same. Lots of Americans are going to die, but at this point we deserve it. We’ve been sleepwalking into fascism for over 40 years, and have ignored every single warning we were given. I used to care about us being united, because I know what the fate of red states will be if Balkanization happens, but now? Fuck 'em. Let’s just split apart so we no longer have to support all these MAGA welfare queens in Alabama and Mississippi. Let corporate interests swoop in and go full classical colonialism on their weak economies. If they really want to work in sweatshops for nickels, fuckin let them. My blue state is strong enough to stand alone, I know most other blue states are, so what’s the point in defending the people a collapse will hurt the most when they voted for it?

Penis inspection day is real and it is coming for you.

Hell yeah dude, bisexuals doing our part to get those numbers up.

You should have had that nervous eye twitch for the last 40 years, the U.S. was doing plenty of fucked up shit even when we were projecting calm security. The first Trump presidency was the wake-up call to the rest of the world to start cutting ties with us, it actually blows my mind how little there was in place internationally for when he won again. Sanctions should have been placed on us, trade agreements dissolved, we should be getting isolated right now. I’m sure we’ll get there eventually, but it might be too late by then.

It someone creates a program for Windows, that program will likely still work 10 years from now

I was with you all the way until here. This statement is absolutely laughable to anyone who has messed around with older videogames. Sometimes, if you’re lucky, running it in compatibility mode with the version of Windows the game was made for will work, but oftentimes you’re reliant on fan patches or long installation guides showing you the exact configuration of settings necessary to stop the game from constantly crashing. At that point, getting the older game to run on Windows is just as tedious as getting it to run on Linux, potentially less.

You still are getting more of a guarantee from Microsoft, because Windows versions have typically had long lifecycles and were pretty averse to risky-changes within an OS release, but even that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore with Windows 11.

Yes, absolutely. The Russian military is still a piece of shit using scared conscripts and outdated equipment. As long as the EU remains willing to fund the Ukrainian defense, they’ll keep fighting.

The real question is whether the EU will still be around. This weekend’s election in Germany is going to be of critical importance.

The U.S. especially has built up this myth that they came to liberate Germany to save the Jewish people from concentration camps. Considering the Americans were anti-semitic as hell at the time, to the point they were denying Jews entry to the U.S., it’s a pretty fucking wild bit of historical revision.

I mean, the American Constitution is dogshit. The people who wrote it didn’t even mean half of it, and the other half became out of date about when globalisation took off. It’s not surprising nobody wants to defend it, the U.S. Republic has been desperately, desperately overdue for a revision.

Pfft, this is almost hilariously naive. Unless you think Kamala Harris seriously had a chance of winning an 80%+ landslide victory, Trump’s election was determined when our Supreme Court made a clearly partisan ruling declaring Trump was an untouchable king. At that moment, it became clear that any contested election would be resolved by the SC in Trump’s favor, ala Bush v Gore in 2000.

I’m as disappointed as anyone else that he won cleanly, but Trump was inevitable. He’s been inevitable for decades. No country becomes fascist overnight, the American people have been voting towards this outcome since before I was born.

Y’know the interesting thing is, I’ve never had a poor old person talk condescendingly to me about economic prospects. The elderly widow taking public transit, counting their coupons, and desperately trying to stretch their dead husband’s pension check has never lectured me about pulling myself up by my boot-straps. Similarly, I’ve never called any of these people a Boomer pejoratively. To me, the stereotype of a Boomer has very little to do with age, and everything to do with socioeconomic status, and I absolutely will keep insulting the Boomer fucks that pulled the ladder up behind them.

in 4 years, the Heritage Foundation put together a plan to dismantle the U.S. government.

In those same 4 years, the Democrats sat on their hands with the expectation that the 2024 election was in the bag.

I’m not even sure if Dems can prepare for what’s coming. Certainly not to the level the Republicans have prepared for this moment.

Yes, and we knew this would be the outcome the second he won the election. I’m staying in the U.S. because my life is worthless anyway and I’d prefer death in glorious revolution than survival, but anyone who values their life should have started their plans to leave in August 2024 when it became obvious he was going to sieze control.

I mean, the electorate is definitely unqualified to pick their own leaders, but that’s what decades of gutting education funding with absolutely no public pushback gets you. An unqualified electorate elects unqualified representatives.

When you come down hard on minor infractions, it creates a culture of forced politeness enforced by fear.

China certainly has an issue with working with white colonizers. Subjugating the white colonizers though? I don’t think they have any qualms about that. As long as China is allowed to top, they’ll gladly let the U.S. become their bitch.

Yeah, this isn’t as much of a negative as people are thinking. You’re gonna want to arm yourself if you’re trapped in the U.S., making it easier is a bit of a blunder. Should move fast though, because once they realize their blunder they’ll make laws to restrict only us from owning firearms.

It’s starting off with a lot of being 'eepy and bedrotting, probably until 10 or 11 am. Once I finally feel like getting out of bed, I’d go out to a really nice local cafe with a laptop, have tea and a light breakfast while working on fielding emails/calling clients/whatever admin is necessary for the business that makes me millions. After maybe four hours of working and sipping tea, I’d take an early break, and text my boytoy to see if he wants to see a movie tonight. I’d want to go to a trendy art-house theater and watch something deep and thought-provoking, just to be amused at dinner afterward as the man attempts to engage in thoughtful conversation about what we saw. I’d bring him back home, destroy his body and subjugate his soul, and then send him back home before midnight so I can bedrot alone for another hour.

Is this like a ‘13 Going on 30’ situation, where I am waking up this Friday morning suddenly in the body of this 30 year old woman? Or have I been this woman the whole time, and I’m just waking up to a normal Friday morning in my life? Final clarifying question, is it still Valentines Day in this scenario, or is it an unrelated Friday morning?

My answer will change drastically depending on the details of this scenario.

The part where I have to live through it sucks pretty hard. I’m also not certain that what will follow will be any better.
