Project 2025 says we say goodbye to America this year. Guess that's it.

Guys I'm starting to have doubts about the long-term viability of the 500 year burgerreich

I have serious doubts about civilization as we know it lasting another 250 years, much less the increasingly unstable US.

Gotta take things small and build community back up. In Ohio, we got a restaurant to cancel an event with a gubernatorial candidate, because he was a literal Nazi. It didn't take many of us to message a template to the restaurant, tell them to cancel or be boycotted. They listened, we all went.

Raising community standards of respectability can be done a little at a time. The more we find little, easy wins, to make our community a little bit better, then I think we'll start being able to make big changes.
