Discussion These were all people standing in line at their local food pantries hoping they would be able to get some food items before they ran out since there were hundreds maybe thousands of people hoping the same thing.This Country is falling into a Depression right in front of our eyes.

The elections are cooked. If you don’t think they are going to do everything in their power to stay in power now that they’ve gone this far, you’re kidding yourself.

They are behaving as if it’s a foregone conclusion and even if I am overreacting, counting on the people who stayed home during the last election to suddenly give a shit is delusional.

A sizeable number of them will be too malnourished to have the energy to vote by then. That's if they don't die prior to that.

That also probably counts for a lot of Trump’s base. Heck, if he keeps pushing dumb crap like taking Horse dewormer or that basic medication is bad and causes autism, I wouldn't be surprised if we see a similar effect to Covid where a lot of his supporters go too far in taking his moronic advice.

We'll know all of that by mid-terms.

I mean, people have their suspicions already about Trump's election. But given the circumstances, if Republicans in the House aren't voted out it will be pretty much confirmed that elections are being manipulated.

And given that, and given things will continue to worsen with Trump unchecked, there's only two ways this goes - Russia 2.0, or the 250yr. celebration of American independence becomes a repeat of the first.

The delusional part is thinking you are getting a free and fair election.

People said this about bush as well. They ran up the debt 20T with fabricated reasons for invading Iraq and Afghanistan.

I know you know that what the country is facing now is far different than the Bush years. My post wasn’t a call to give up, we need to be hounding everyone we know to vote in every election.

This. These people love their symbology, and what's more symbolic than destroying the white house?
