      Who will come invade us? All the allies are undergoing their own fascist makeovers themselves. There is no one to save us but us. Civil War II here we come

      As someone who has an undergrad in history … You’re depressingly right. Studying history is just watching people keep making the same mistakes over and over again and every so often there are improvements made to the human condition. A eureka moment here and there.

      Mostly, you get to learn humans are mostly terrible. All of us, really, have some serious flaws and arguably that is what makes humans human but it’s insane to watch in slow motion my country succumbing to fascism. I wonder if I’ll get rounded up; I sure hope not.

      It does blow to like call a thing years in advance and watch it happen and then have to just deal with it even though we could have stopped this.

      Whatever, we all will get what we deserve for electing Trump. Madness.
