      More a series of ongoing failures, whittling away of freedoms, vilification of the “other” (chosen targets periodically changing), and willful ignorance spread over decades. Just seems more focused these days and across more than the US.

      Eh, one bad election? Have you been under a rock? Do people forget 2016? And all the smaller elections in between then and now? Millions of us are losing basic human rights for a while now.

        Do people forget 2016?

        Yes. That’s how Trump wins in 2024.

        Millions of us are losing basic human rights for a while now.

        The eugenists insisting that humanity is failed and we need a grand culling to fix it are at the forefront of that effort.

    Misanthropy is an understandable sentiment, but succumbing to it robs you of the agency to make the world a better place.

    Yep. Has been ever since the Golgafrinchan B Ark crashed here and killed the native population and broke the computer the size of a planet.

    Slartibartfast is devastated.
