we are over half way through the 2020s and there hasnt been a single good year. when do we get a rest year?
>>843242042021/2022 were both pretty decent as covid was winding down and things were recovering
>>84324205it doesnt feel like we recovered in the end, given the present reality
>>84324233i think that is a result of the orange one, not covid. my life was great circa 2023-2024. it's still decent now, but it's obviously worsened in some regards. the USA (where i am) ended up in a really good (relative to the rest of the world) spot after covid
>>84324238the inflationary period of the early 2020s led to the orange creaturas return to the American throne and the unfolding nightmare since then though
>>84324250that's a fair take, and probably a relatively valid assessment. it's just unfortunate because we were so much better off than the rest of the world, and now we've totally squandered that advantage. god i wish the american public weren't so retarded
>>84324281dont worry, its only going to get worse! :D
>>84324294i am cautiously optimistic for the midterms to be a blue wave and start turning things around. once he's officially a lame duck like that, i think you might start to see people in power actually move against him for the first time in his life. of course, it's totally possible they'll ride his dick until the bitter end. stranger things have certainly happened
What was wrong with 2023?
>>84324297what are you going to do when the dems win house + senate, but still cannot restrain him thanks to 20 years of congressional forfeiture of powers to the executive? not that i think it matters, he will probably invade greenland and cuba by the midterms anyhow
>>84324311if the dems win the house and senate, that will be the one and only chance for the rats to flee the sinking ship and try to pretend they never supported him, which in effect means he'll actually be told no for the first time in his life. if that doesn't happen, then it remains up in the air, yeah. but i'm trying to remain optimistic. i think this is the last good chance to turn things around before it's too late
>>84324204It sounds like you are feeling very upset about this. Your feelings are valid. Would you like to share more about what happened?
>>84324306post-inflation blues syndrome>>84324322there would have to be a significant defection from the maga base for the politicians to change. thats alot to hope for>>84324325i would like a blueberry muffin recipe
>>84324329well, there WILL be a post-cheeto era, one way or another. and they need to start preparing for it, or else they'll get totally smashed by the dems and it won't matter anyway. i think the most realistic plan for them if his support drops off so precipitously during the midterms is to turn on him all at once and act like they never supported him in the first place, hoping to gimp the 2028 dem candidate's power by reclaiming the senate and maybe house
I think it's because people stopped smoking in the 2000s everyone is on edge all the time
>>84324340fair, i wouldnt get too high on hopium tho>>84324341i see alot of people blame the lack of alcohol too. "social lubricant" or whatever
>>84324204*You havent
>>84324361i mean, what's the worst that could happen? :^)
>>84324450you will remember this post in three months when he nukes iceland
>>84324204We to rest when the orange man is in prison or underground
>>84324204covid lockdown has been one of the best periods of my life. what came after that, now that was fucking terrible.
