I don’t, with all due respect, care how depressed you are. At least when it comes to this conversation.
At this point in time you are one of two things: an active oppositor, and then you have my support, or not that, and then you’re part of the problem.
If you feel like there’s no solution and it’s all a bummer and you’re just going to sit there “making the best of life that you can”, then you’re part of the regime. Authoritarian regimes don’t just run on militants. Granted, nobody has the obligation to be a hero or a martyr, but it’s also true that nobody else has the obligation to prioritize the anonymous foreign masses that keep an antagonistic regime running over their own interests.
Which is a long-winded way to say this is very much, extremely not about you anymore, as far as the rest of us are concerned. That ship sailed when you allowed these idiots to win the election.
See, that “oh, libs are discouraging the left from being excited to support them” crap was all well and good when people were being entitled and disingenuous about domestic politics. It may well have ended US democracy, but hey, it was their prerogative.
But nobody is asking anymore. The US is now a hostile force threatening to invade multiple countries, waging an active global trade war and upending international relations. Nobody in their right mind gives a crap about whether the US populace “wants to work” with anybody else.
I mean, if they want to, great. If they ever get another shot at electing their leaders I would genuinely encourage not electing overt fascists to run every branch of government next time. Good luck with that.
But until then? Again, this is not about you anymore.
I think you confused me for someone else and also misunderstood my comment. It seems like you’re screaming into a void and being an obnoxious douche about it.
No, not laughing. Been depressed at the state of my country for a while and the bad influence our system has on the world.
But I understand why other people laugh at us. Honestly, I think our species is just doomed to make the same mistakes over and over again.
It feels like some patterns of greed and ego will always come back around and make it hell on earth. Sometimes I wonder if this is hell.
Anyway, just waiting for my end to come and taking a day at a time trying to make the best of life that I can with my loved ones.

Geee what a wonderful way to discourage anyone from wanting to work with you.
Did I ask anybody to work with me/us?
