Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

This is the trashiest timeline. Will the trash tide ever go out?

Maybe!

But things will absolutely not go back to normal. We're going to be spending the rest of our lives cleaning up the beach, and the generation that can start rebuilding better isn't even born yet.

MAGA has destroyed so much, that the opportunity to rebuild America the proper way, is the silver lining to the MAGA destruction, if the Dems have the spine to do it.

Even if they're 100% gung-ho, it's not going to happen for years if not decades. Trump's proteges have worked their way into every single government agency at every level like a cancer. We are 50 years away from excising them all.

Dems

spine

I think I can see the problem here...

I don't believe so. The elites do not know how to do anything but make the conditions for fascism worse.

The only thing that could save us would be a revolution and a "tabula rasa" strategy or a (non bloody) purge of most elites. A return to sanity and massive reform. But people are so indoctrinated with propaganda that they would perceive that as authoritarianism and suppression of the free press and tankyism. So no, it's impossible. The solution is (gradual) collapse.
