People keep talking about "Federalizing the National Guard" and now you've got other States pledging their NG to Texas in defiance of the Supreme Court (see image).

So is this what CW2 looks like?

P.S. I'm a Brit

Can we just have a normal, boring year for once, please? I'm so tired...

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 14 points 11 months ago

Better yet, can we have a government that doesn't pretend things are fine and actually doe something about the fucking fascists?

[-] risencode@lemmy.ml 8 points 11 months ago

I think you'd have to relocate for that.

What planet do you recommend?

Closest would be the Moon. I heard it's pretty boring. Aside from the occasional rover visits.

Any "first world" country that will accept you.

Please let us have a normal election season

With the Trump? NO WAY!

I'm right there with you.

But at least you can think of this to console you: You're not actually fighting in a world/civil war, down in some troops trench somewhere, reading this (at least that's my hope for you).

Other generations have had to go through major wars, but so far we've been dodging that bullet, for the most part.

Things could be a lot worse.
