Lol, I appreciate that final line in your comment. So many of us were that close back in 2020... Now things are slated to be worse, and I think I speak for at least millions of Americans when I say we are just fucking over it.
When we've tossed out any semblance of justice in our country at the highest levels, literally ruling that the president is immune from all prosecution (you know, like a fucking king), then asshole corpos that indirectly murder countless people getting gunned down doesn't exactly concern us. In fact, this sort of thing genuinely seems more just than what our highest courts are allowing.
Shit is fucked up in this country, and I don't think many of us want to pretend otherwise any longer. I'm not advocating violence, but I definitely don't think I'll lose sleep over this situation.
Royalty has forgotten that laws are the peaceful alternative to the guillotine. If you stop enforcing laws that protect the peasants what do you think is going to happen?
I'll quote something that I heard from someone earlier today. "I don't advocate violence, but I also can't pretend that justice was not served."
