Looks like the right and MAGA won. Bad luck for regular Americans but that's what happens when you've got a people like the Heritage Foundation telling you exactly what they plan on doing, and instead of the opposition (democrats) trying to stop it, they attack each other because they're still more interested in their corporate sponsors than they are their constituents. It's surreal watching this collapse in real time.

Every empire falls. Behold our example and learn from it. Or follow.

Oh, undoubtedly every empire falls, history is very clear on this, I just thought Americans would put up more of a fight in the early stages.

There was, in fact, an election where all of the voters in the country had a chance to vote against all this shit and instead voted for it. I think those voters who voted for it are most at fault here.

I voted for Harris. I'm trans. I can't get my passport updated. I live in a blue state, so my vote just didn't matter.

I'm sorry for the bullshit this society puts you through.
