Mark my words. There will be an attack on a city in California in the next 3 weeks. Iran will "claim responsibility". Elections will be cancelled and martial law will be set in place. Trump will remain president until he dies. His regime will remain in power permanently. The United States as we know it will end by the end of next year. There will be a gas shortage with no plan to help anyone since the rich already have what they need. There will be massive food shortages due to this. Millions will die in the next 2 years from disease, hunger, and war within our borders.
The rich will come out on top and we all lose. Enjoy your last few weeks or normalcy. It gets dark from here.
I'll mark your words with a big giant red X because it's some doomerist bullshit.
Why?
There's a big fail in your assumption
How?
The financially obese are never sated.
Nah, if the ship goes down, everyone goes with it. The rich will not escape.
I feel the same way, and I appreciate that you said what you said.
This "it's all shit from here so you should just roll over and die" comment four weeks out from the midterms is not accidental, and surprise, surprise, it's a two day old account demanding that we all "mark its words" of doom and destruction, lol.
Hell no. Keep the faith, brother. I appreciate you, and every one of us like you.
Fuck the doomers and vote: if your vote weren't so important, they wouldn't be working this hard to discourage you from doing it.
I wish you and all of us every success.
Regardless of what I said being wrong or right, why are you being so rude? Your comment history speaks volumes.
Two day old doomer account. Blocked.
Noooooooo!
You just casually asserted that thousands of people are going to die, providing a definite timeline and location for this attack, all without a wisp of evidence.
Everyone who is already paying even a tiny bit of attention already has an uncountable number of very real, terrifying threats to their own future, their families and loved ones, the planet itself, and you decide to feel important by creating a new one out of thin air.
And then your grievance is that I was rude instead of applauding your amazing foresight?
I wouldn't put it past this administration to perform a false-flag if things look dire enough.
We're talking about an actual insurrectionist here. A treacherous person in every definition of the word.
More likely, they will take some minor protest or something, and use their propaganda network to wag-the-dog and make half the country think that the liberal cities are now effectively Mad Max (again).
There doesn't need to be another 9/11, they just need to make enough people believe there was.
Not a word of what they said is out of bounds bud. It’s all a very real threat we all face. If you like optimistic sugar-coated feelgood takes, maybe you should avoid discussing American politics.
Do you honestly not know what an opinion is?
Look, I’ll make this easier for you so you don’t have to get so upset at others for what they think:
You go ahead and create a community and list in the rules, how everyone should think and what they should say. And then you can require everyone to memorize a list of things you find irritating and off-limits, and then test them on it before they’re ever allowed to post- we will all join it- and promptly never post.
But there, you can have everything exactly as you want it and no one will ever disagree or say things that upset you.
Mkay? Sound fun? Super!
Okaybuddy. Gonna block you now.
You haven’t debated any of what I said either, just that I’m wrong
Debate your 3 day old doomer account?
You are dismissed.
The evidence is in Trump’s words and actions. He’s talking about missiles hitting San Diego and you aren’t in the lease bit worried? Do you think it’s just some plausible deniability? The evidence is there
Trump said that he would sacrifice San Diego or LA. He can’t keep his mouth shut and has likely spoken with conspirators about it. He won’t say that he won’t call martial law. Do you remember Jan. 6th? Do you remember when he was “shot at” during the election. He’s done this shit before.
Do you think I’m the first person in history who thinks something like this could happen?
You can contest someone’s point without being rude. Or can you?
Consider your words marked.
