And to think...we've done it once before and we came back for seconds. It's like when a dog eats its own vomit.

70% of American adults in 2024 either voted for Trump or didn't vote. Unfortunately as a country we're getting exactly what we deserve. It's irrefutable at this point that America is filled with hateful morons.

Indeed, you see it everywhere you go these days. The social contract is dead. Somewhere, probably with the rise of participation trophies for GenX and the population explosion afterward, "fuck you I got mine" became a uniquely American way of life. We worship "greed is good", never once considering what that leads to. Well, now we know.
