I think at this point our primary cultural export is political spectacle.

See even the French know the SOLUTION.

FYI, I got banned from news@lemmy.world one time for using the word “solution”

Jordan, you’re a ripe cunt.

In france if they try to raise tuition 2% or raise retirement age 2 years there are riots in the streets. In the us, a nazi felon pedo destroys the fabric of society and … “Hey did you see the season finale of Silo?”

If we pray very very hard at the ballot box political Jesus might just not hurt us too much this cycle. Not help us of course, that's communsocialisvenezuelism or something, but just not hurt us more. That's what we do :)

The President and his pack of dicklickers are shitting on the Constitution and Bill of Rights hourly.

ICE execute and bash people in the street, or put them in gulags - citizens, or not - with no consequences.

Republicans raping children is at Biblical levels.

Arson is legal and is the only way to go to heaven.

Because France lights things on fire and things are still bad.
