    It ain’t just young people. I’ve got a lot of lefty friends and family who have been lost and are willing to gamble on turnip because they think there is no way to handle things worse than we are now.

      You would think that millions of global COVID deaths that he (and Xi - but nobody is allowed to vote that idiot out of office) is primarily responsible for would finally keep people from voting for the “it can’t get any worse” guy.

      COVID-19 killed almost three times as many Americans as died during WW2 due to both inaction and deliberate malicious actions. This alone should have resulted in a prison sentence for Trump and his inner circle.

      We have a lot of serious problems in the US to say the least, but to assert it cannot get any worse seems like such a naive privileged thing to say.

      We have to keep working to improve things, but there are so many ways things could go way, way worse then they are now.

        you won’t get any argument from me. these folks are the same ones telling me that I’m pro-war (generally in not such nice terms) because I want to avoid the abject horrors of a dictatorship; but apparently I’m just paranoid and overreacting.
