I’m just saying, if we do get to space, we need to build a space wall to keep the aliens out

There may still be hope, people listen to a charismatic person who gets points across well.

That's really what democracy is about, isn't it? Not appealing to the majority opinion but changing it to fit you.

Can we all agree,

If america did totally go to hell in a handbasket, what country would you escape to ?

that if Democrats run Connor Lambs in every district,

Austria or Poland

they _will_ take the house

Yeah, if the GOP is as lazy as Saccone was.

Which is not a stretch.

That could be a good or bad thing depending on how well those candidates keep their promises

Here's the thing @FLanon

Saccone was basically the generic GOP candidate

@R E P T I L E I wouldn't escape. Not outside the US anyways, I'd live in isolation.

If they do, than we basically have more Republicans

Not complete isolation, but you know, amish

@GermanEastAfrica no no no

They most likely will vote party line

Yeah you’re right, they’ll probably all turn around at once at completely betray their election promises

Never count on these people, if Conor Lamb really was going against Pelosi, he'd switch parties the day he was sworn in.

They hold the reins tight on DNC funds.

Honestly can Pelosi just get out already

Schumer is more my concern

If we had someone there on the dem's side who was more prone to compromise and making deals with Trump, we might just have a wall.

But the Dems care more about the immigrants than compromise.

I also love when they pull the quote on the Statue of Liberty as some sort of proof of their cause

Yeah, under current leadership and, the way things are going, future leadership because of the extreme leftward shift.

Lamb will probably just end up being another Manchin, I bet.

Can’t wait until 2020 when the next great meme war starts. This time the left won’t make the same mistakes though. I’m going to be a bit blackpill and say I don’t see the chances for a 2020 Trump presidency as very high.

Although it would be hilarious to see the pure unadulterated rage if he does win

If we manage something this year he will undoubtably win.

If it's another 2002.

I'm holding out for a miracle at this point, but I am just running on empty.

I feel you. I know not to lose hope, but it can be hard not to at times. Sometimes I get weirdly sad whenever an old show from the 80’s comes on or when I view photos of Chicago from the 20’s on threads. I just think “how did it come to this”?

Yeah. It feels like I'm going mad, sanity is just falling further and further.

The world is just a husk, really. Culturally, socially, it all just seems fucked.

But things like this discord and Gab make things feel a little bit better. Like I’m not alone in my thoughts. No matter how much the social media giants try

The only thing I can think of that I think can maybe make things right is the law of nature: "each action has an equal and opposite reaction".

Something's gotta give.

And when it does, all hell is going to break loose. I used to think the whole civil war thing was a meme but I’m getting more and more certain it’s happening by the day

I think we may have some caesearian candidate that will light the flame at some point, someone real awe inspiring. Maybe it's what we have in office now, maybe it's someone in a couple decades, but there will be someone that'll provide a catalyst.
