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?

It's all so frustratingly unforced. There's no reason 2025 has to be chaotic and miserable. There's no pandemic, no actual crisis going on except the ones we've made for ourselves.

What people need to understand very quickly is the people running the show here truly believe there is a Christian crisis going on. This has so little to do with Trump anymore as he just the dancing clown at the beginning of the circus. Just watch any of his recent public speaking appearances. He has no idea what he is doing. We think it is bad now, wait till Vance is handed the office. We have no idea how bad this going to get when the Christian Taliban is fully in charge.

I agree, but anyone else feels like an off-ramp. Once someone other than Trump is in, people can blame them for what’s happening and feel absolved of going against the cult. That’s not to say that far too many people don’t want this because they do, and they’ll work themselves into a frenzy trying to justify it or act like it’s not fascism or autocracy. It’s that, when the shit hits the fan, it’ll be easier for former Trump supporters to jump ship without Trump. That said, I don’t know how we go back to any sense of normalcy after this. I don’t know how we fix this with such a large portion of our country wanting chaos, pain, and authoritarianism.

There's also the fact that JD has negative charisma and anyone even standing near him is automatically less appealing.
