    I like your post. 50 years from now, high school students are going to open their US History book and read what the orange bumble fuck said during a war he started. Humiliating and perhaps the Americans might learn a lesson from the MAGA disaster.

    This combination of generations is lost. Most of the age groups are either pushing for things to get worse, ignoring things that are bad or rooting on the coming apocalypse. It'll get better when we get a few more new gens in the game, asuming it can be recovered

    It's all just inequality dressed up as something else. People are miserable here because it's a country by and for rich people which even the rich don't enjoy in the end. Rich people exploit that sense of misery to give us...king-size diaper donny as president twice.

    Not that long ago, a single factory worker made enough to buy a small house, a car, have 2 kids and take a 2 week yearly vacation.

    We're really pumping the gas on inequity.

    That's the thing I was wondering about the TACO meme. Is it good to mock him on chickening out when it is best for everybody that he does chicken out?

    Does it matter? I think he doesn't even touch the internet anymore and just has an assistant posting for him

    On the contrary, I think everyone in the White House keeps feeding him pleasant lies and what's why he can go out in public and say all that BS

    This should be the front page of a wiki, so others can add citations and readers can drill down. But it should absolutely preserve this level of summary. It was highly effective at putting the arc into perspective without embellishment. I might recommend reframing the entries for March 28, 29, 31 and April 2, 4 as summaried utterances instead, as I found the switch to an overtly editorial summary to be jarring.

    I copied it from elsewhere - but I love your idea! Someone should definitely catalog and archive this

    If I decide to build that, who would the attribution need to go to? eg: who is your genius tier source
