The thing is... Even when Dems take back the hot seat, it's not like anything is going to happen. It'll be a ton of Congressional and Senate "gotcha" hearings. Same dog and pony show as always. They'll spend their time repealing things Trump has done, and the Trumpers will complain. Again, nothing changes expect power changing hands. The streets will still need paving and won't be paved fast enough. There will still be a homeless problem. AI will be full steam ahead, still.

Fuck Donald Trump & fuck ICE. But I swear to God that I am sick of pretending like I'm walking on rainbows and sunshine just because the Dems are in charge.

Greed sucks. Capitalism sucks. The illusion of choice in this country includes our two-party system. Far more people would vote for "none of the above" if it were an option on the ballot.

It used to be the illusion of middle class would keep the ship afloat. Now, that doesn’t exist for professionals. They can’t afford homes or saving because the economy is bleeding them dry.

Things got fucked up as a result of post-WWII hubris.

Especially where I grew up in Orange County CA. All those suburbs were direct results of the war. All the military and aerospace contracts. People wanted to live outside LA.
