As an African American, those 250 years of building was never for us, so while I'm happy that our unjust systems are crumbling under their own weight of stupidity. I wish it was being properly dismantled brick by brick from the left opposed to knocked over by what appears to be two elderly men with clearly anti social sociopathic and toxic masculinity, driving a triangle shaped truck that struggled to drive up a curb. The wall has just fallen on top of the poor, POC, and LGBTQ+ community. And the capitalist are going to just see the heep of bodies and bricks as a new road to drive over.

Tbf, it's been in decay since Reagan. Long time coming to get here. Trump was inevitable when we didn't address inequality, lowered taxes on the wealthy, and allowed Citizen's United.

There is far too many "won't" "can't" "it's over" "he'll never leave" and not enough "Let's make him leave" going on if you ask me.

(he's succeeding btw)

From barbarism to civilization requires a century; from civilization to barbarism needs but a day.

It takes a second to wreck it

It takes time to build

And with this fat fascist, there is no chill and we're all fucked.

Lmao. Why do people still think the US in its pre Trump form was this great achievement? There was never anything unique or exceptional about the US. Trump was inevitable specifically because of how flawed the US is and was. The american people has never been interested in participating in democracy, it was always run by frauds and it was just a matter of time until someone figured out how to abuse that situation for something other than the typical shit that corporations have been abusing it for.

And there's no chance of ever getting pre-Trump America back. You guys voted for this. Twice.

Actions have consequences, and you're in the "found out" phase.

What’s lost can’t be restored any time soon. Pretending constitution and democracy can still come back in our life time is just self delusion and waste of everyone’s time.

No shit. So many of us have been saying this for well over a decade

Especially the last hundred years since ww1 and the last 150 since yellowstone became the first national park and started a system greatly expanded and championed by a republican president. Of course the post office is from the dawn of the country and a mark of any real society. Certainly more so than some stupid parading of military crap.

His neck line is so much funnier in a silhouette

Reminder: the republicans in your life should be ostracized. For starters.

It is always easier to destroy than to build, or to protect.

"Trying" lol

I said similar on another article like this, but I worry the kind of people who need to know this won't read it. They'll just dismiss it because "cnn is woke" or "they just don't like trump" (which reminds me of the "missing missing reasons" post about estranged parents, incidentally)

But maybe a few fence sitters or accidentally-low-information types will read this and realize trump is not the way to go.
