For a lot of us even before the election. Yup.

In 2020 I was moving into my house. Late night moving, 3am, I needed food. There's a McDs across the street. A'ight. Gonna have to happen. Get the shitty little cheeseburgers that's always been a dollar... no wait, they're not on the dollar menu... actually there's no dollar menu... fuck it... there's the meal for them.
The two shitty cheeseburgers, small fries, small drink, over $8 plus tax.
I've never been back to one since.
I don't think I'd ever leave the makerspace.
Oh I have so many words for the "Only moral abortion is my abortion" crowd but they're the assholes that do go out and vote. Honestly, Republicans, because if that party didn't have double standards they would have no standards at all.
My part on the "I'm okay with however this goes" is me calling out the crowd that didn't bother to vote, just sitting there saying their bullshit excuses of why they don't vote then try to say they have some moral high ground when their not voting is them in fact telling the country they are in fact perfectly fine with however things go.
I think that's why I'm so angry at that crowd. They're one of the biggest voices of "People should rise up" but I'd never want one having my back. If they couldn't do the the very basic fucking easiest thing then what makes me think they'd actually do anything when shit actually gets hard.
significantly more just couldn’t be bothered
IE: "I'm okay with however this goes."
They're as culpable as the ones who voted for it. I know it confuses people that I'm actively angrier at them, at least the people who voted for it were more honest about their awful opinions. The ones that didn't vote try to pretend they have the moral high ground of "I didn't vote for this" or the bullshit excuse of "I just don't pay attention to politics"
I mean there's the other approach, had the GM tell us that he didn't do as much prep as he hoped but game was still on.
My response "I'll do my best to be inefficient"
Then again the character I'm playing is with a group I've played with for years, and I sat down with them before it started with "I'm about to play possibly my most irritating character concept and I want everyone on board before I finalize."
We should totally all agree that we will leave Musk alone and start treating him nicely if he leaves politics wink wink nudge nudge
I mean there's a lot of us already on that team.
If you didn't get the reference, Cassandra was given the gift of prophecy but cursed so that her true prophecies would not be believed. She goes out and tells people of what's coming and she's ignored. She warns that if Helen is brought back to Troy, it'll be the fall of Troy in the Trojan War. She warned the Trojans to not accept the gift horse from the Greeks but we all know how that worked out. That sort of thing.
So yes, there's a lot of people on "Team Cassandra" who's been saying the shit that's coming is going to come, we've been laughed at, mocked and told we're overreacting then told we're not doing enough when exactly the things that anyone with basic pattern recognition and a high school history learning could predict.
This is my boat... THEN I got a lot of rational reasons I didn't want.
I've picked up the gardening hobby and actually seem to be keeping up with it.
Nothing like a crisis where food is looking to be a concern to get ones ass in gear.
