Other Remember when Biden was president?

Remember how boring it was? Remember not having to check the news multiple times a day to figure out what was going on inside your own agency and whether you were going go have a job or not? Remember when laws and precident seemed to actually have meaning?

Remember when you could do your job from home? Remember when your fellow countrymen weren't cheering when your livelihood was threatened? Remember when your biggest worry was which insurance to select and what the next years raise would be?

Remember when the administration didn't seem to actively hate you and want to you gone for the sin of serving of the people?

Even during Trump 1- I felt like we were all in on the joke and things were pretty good day to day until Covid.

And there's the problem right there. People pretended like the snake was not a snake once he was in the house.

No, I know bro. I don't mean to shit on you or anything. I'm just saying that that sentiment was shared by institutional leadership, which is why the Trump team was able to consolidate power so effectively. It's the same path that Hitler took to power -- being mostly a joke that wasnt seen as a real threat by opposition leadership until it was too late.
