I hate to have to say it, but good. America needs to fail and fail HARD in order to ensure that conservatives never find themselves in a position of authority ever again.
I see it like alcoholism. Right now, we’re basically “functioning.”
We’re hobbled, but we’re making it day-by-day. And most people with core-issue problems usually don’t seek help until they’re face down in the gutter- because from there, you either drown, or turn around, lift yourself up, and get help.
Sadly, it seems America needs to hurt and hurt bad before anyone will ever do anything. So… I say; have at it. Bring the worst and let’s get this over with. Because I don’t think It’ll ever get better until we can finally see exactly how bad it can get.
"I can't wait for society to collapse so my ideology can rise from the ashes!"
That’s what you took from what I said? Do they not teach people how to read for context anymore?
You're expressing the same sentiment as many billionaires these days. It's also called accelerationism. Rush to get society in the gutter and then be the guiding hand to help them up.
No, try again.
