They’re geared up for the authoritarian state. Corporate rule. Gutted EPA, FDA, etc. No privacy. Moderated online content. Increase the “domestic supply of infants” (read: work and military forces) by making women more brood mare like (see: Roes fall). And now a president is more like a king and can do anything. All of it points in one general direction.
- Just think, November 5th of 2024 may be the last time American's can vote freely in a presidential election.
  
  I can’t wait to freely cast my ballot for either a genocidal capitalist or a worse genocidal capitalist.
- I want to get off of Mr Bones Wild Ride
  
  Seriously though this is why being politically active AND voting is God damned important.
  
  Voting seems to be doing fuck-all if I'm being perfectly honest. We need to stop coasting to a stop and slam on the brakes.
The rule of law seems awfully flimsy today.
- The assholes pushing this crap sure are lucky they outnumber us...(\sarcasm)
- Actually the "rule of law" looks exactly like this.
