Leave the state/country. Gotcha.

That just makes the disparity worse and skews it more in their direction. In the states that are marginally red having democrats move THERE could actually help turn it blue. Just giving up or moving away is playing into their hands

After these past 9 years what we have seen repeatedly, is that we're up against dozens of millions of people who wouldn't piss on you to put out a fire. This election showed us it's not just right wingers who are without empathy, but also fake leftists who couldn't be bothered to vote against trump.

I wish I was one of the people who could leave the US. We have nothing left to be hopeful about here. Everything we've been worried about will go more poorly than even the most pessimistic viewpoint predicts. We're done.

I been at this shit since 2007.

Take your disparity and shove it. This country is a wasteland of ignorant dipshits and it deserves whatever it gets. I voted for the good guys every, single, time. I gave them every single opportunity. Fuck us, is all we ever get.

Fuck them. I'm making my plans for anywhere not controlled by that orange piece of human garbage and not fought back by the spineless Israel-serving wimps in the Democrat shithouse. I'll settle for an ungoverned Pacific island.

Edit: from now on, all of humanity is trash. You, me. Everyone. Fuck us. We get exactly what we deserve. Apocalypse in 40 years? We deserve it. Congrats, everyone! 🎉 See you on the great filter.
