Another 2.5 years is a stretch at this point.


250 days? Probably. 250 months?…. I’d not put money on it, depending upon how you define “lasts”.

If we really put some effort into it we can bring that number way, WAY the fuck down


Project 2025 says we say goodbye to America this year. Guess that’s it.


I have serious doubts about civilization as we know it lasting another 250 years, much less the increasingly unstable US.


Gotta take things small and build community back up. In Ohio, we got a restaurant to cancel an event with a gubernatorial candidate, because he was a literal Nazi. It didn’t take many of us to message a template to the restaurant, tell them to cancel or be boycotted. They listened, we all went.

Raising community standards of respectability can be done a little at a time. The more we find little, easy wins, to make our community a little bit better, then I think we’ll start being able to make big changes.


Five. It won’t endure another five years.


Not if we keep letting low IQ welfare queen red states drag us down.


Hunh, are they the same “2 out of 5” that fucking voted for this shit?! The chances aren’t zero.
