Until we all crush systemic racism, calm the fuck down enough to listen to each other, figure out whatever is eating the MAGAs in real life and solve it (bad education, propagandistic TV, the Facebook algorithm, shitty job prospects, opioid epidemic), this country is going to continue relitigating the Civil War forever and sink back into the soil of the land that it stole and ruined.

Yes, I am shouting. To "us" instead of at "them."

I could go on about how we need to get money out of politics, but excuse me, the climate is on fire and ... I don't know, man, just feeling extra patriotic-pessimistic this morning.

This is only a pretend civil war mocked up by the news organizations to rile people into watching more network TV.

"Watch Fox News for all of the information of where to begin shooting. But first, these important commercial messages."

@urlnotfound no, he means we're not done with The Civil War. The Lincoln one. And we are not.

If you haven't watched it yet, Antebellum is pretty great.

2024? That's so far away, I'll wait a little while and see how the situation is then. For now I'm going to put this leaflet in the recycling bin, and then give that homeless woman a dollar.

@mare that's cool but American Democrats don't have that luxury. The Democratic Party here is already about 50 years behind the GOP in terms of political organization at the state and lower levels.
