The Untied States is literally becoming like nazi Germany and I don't know if people understand that I'm not exaggerating. I legitimately can't tell if people realize that America is now a fascist dictatorship, likely to soon go full on nazi Germany and make it explicitly illegal to be part of certain minority groups, at which point it may be too late for people to leave. I don't know if people around me understand that that's not an exaggeration.

People just keep on going to Disneyland as if it's perfectly safe. It's like watching people go to a store that's literally on fire and nobody is even trying to put it out. It's like people think if the fire department isn't reacting then it isn't happening

and my grandmother thinks it's funny to tell me canada is going to be the 51st state. Yes, so hilarious the fire might soon consume our house too

Grocery prices have gone up like 120% in the last 5 years. The cost of some items has doubled in the last year. There are items that I can't order online because Canada refuses to ship to the US (I live closer to Canada than to most other states).

We are well and truly fucked my friends. Be prepared for things to keep getting worse. We will likely see things we haven't seen since the Great Depression. Go watch "The Grapes of Wrath" and let old Tom Joad show you how it's gonna be.

I heard they got some internet down californeee way

Well sure, there might be a little internet, but how much you think they got out there? With everyone trying to use it at once, it's gonna go real slow like.

It blows my mind how much they cribbed from Grapes of Wrath for that episode. You can literally see John Carradine and Henry Fonda's characters right there hanging out with Randy, same spots they were in in the film

I thought it was genius.

When kyle walked up the internet , which was just a giant router, and turned it off and on again I died.
