I love this community. It sucks people need to suffer but when you're this dense, some pain is the only thing that'll make them pay attention.
The thing of it is, the real pain hasn't even started yet. The things Trump has done in his first 100 days are going to have larger and larger ripple effect repercussions for the next 10 to 20 years. The pain we are all going to feel is going to make what's happening right now look like a fucking picnic.
If things ever get 'painful' enough for me, you can believe I'm going to start channeling that pain towards the ruling class that put me in that position.
Good thing is they always have kids so we never have to worry about a shortage of targets.
There are dark days ahead. If history has shown us anything, it's that the ruling class only loses its power when workers bust out the guillotines.
