[Tommy Carcetti]

Code Red.

Break glass in event of emergency.

Vnimaniye, Vnimaniye.

Hopefully you get picture.

We are in serious, serious trouble at the moment.

And this is not a drill.

1. May Day is exactly right. The dumb-ing down of America is now successful

Not having food and housing be affordable is horrible. But we will be imprisoned by having no rights, no law and the homeless will be arrested made criminals and forced to be unpaid employees of the corporations that are behind both parties of government. There is so much blame to go around. The saddest party is the dubbing down of Americans who can barely read and write thanks to teaching memorization for reading and removing phonics from the public schools. Add to that this generation has no idea how democracy even works. It has not been taught in public schools for decades.

16. Not yet (contracted to N'yet), but soon, very soon.

[elleng]

2. I am WITH you, 100%!!!!

[doc03]

3. I am thinking of the original Star Trek episode where they visit a planet ruled

by 1920s style gangsters.

[Blue Full Moon]

14. 100%

They watched said that is the Star Trek world for me.

4. This is who we are - no excuses, no post-election analysis, these folks

gained votes in every demographic category, so at some point we have to admit - this is who we are.

I have long thought (since Reagan) that the toilet bowl was twirling. This latest election is proof that American voters can not be trusted do the right thing.

Any effort to fight climate change is over.
Any effort to support Democracy worldwide is over.
Any effort to trust anything American political leadership is over.

Sadly, even with all of this, we still are better than most places on the planet.

I suspect our children and grandchildren will have little memory of anything better in their lifetime - I think they will consider this NORMAL.

Am I being too cynical?

[Katinfl]

9. Don't you mean American voters can NOT be trusted to do the right thing?

[walkingman]

13. Indeed - thank you!

[Oldtimeralso]

21. I agree

The GOP has been scum since St Ronnie. The mango moron is running the rotorooter.

[Kablooie]

5. Can't some hacker mess up the nuclear codes so they don't work?

The last time, generals talked Trump out of using them.
This time ...

[Blappy]

6. Insurrection 2.0

by the collusionary forces between the Russian Mobsters and the US Mobsters, with DJT to be soon-to-be the richest mofo in the world. Perhaps this is a signal for Armageddon, Gog and Magog, with the Christian Nationalists leading the charge to oblivion. Code fucking Red INDEED!

[erronis]

7. SOS. This could well be the marker of our demise.

[Blappy]

8. wonder what the Bureau of Atomic Scientists will set the doomsday clock at?

DEFCON 5

[Nigrum Cattus]

19. 30 seconds

We are @ 90 seconds now
If Ukraine falls = 30 seconds
Also, if Ukraine falls China goes for Taiwan.
WW3

[surfered]

10. We're in Deep Kimchi

[orangecrush]

11. Any ideas?

[Cha]

12. And Stupid Suckered Americans Did this with

the Big Assist from the Billionaires.

[hadEnuf]

15. Americans are spoiled and selfish. They do not appreciate what they have or what they have had

So now they will lose it.

Americans need their noses rubbed in the shit good and hard to really understand.

The Roaring Twenties sobered up real quick after the 1929 stock market crash. The GOP was virtually sent to the wilderness for decades.

Chances are Trump will cause something equally devastating to America as well. You can't run this country with a moron surrounded by more morons without consequences.

[Farmer-Rick]

17. We are living proof

That democracy and capitalism can not coexist. This is end stage capitalism.

Putin has used our own economic drivel to conquer us and the Americans oligarchs. Hell the oligarchs are supporting ever human dead end philosophy out there. From Pedophilia to misogyny to Nazism to religion to ignorance. Hell I'm surprised they haven't brought back phrenology and the miasma theory.

Next time.....if there ever is a next time, use more socialism and less greed. Above all don't allow people to accumulate more wealth than an entire small nation.

[kimbutgar]

18. Let just admit it we're f'd and in deep doo doo ghastly times now

I wish I could become a zombie and forget.

But I am going to stay strong and not watch the MSM news for awhile.

The one result I’ve experienced is I have no appetite so I might lose a few pounds.

[2 Meow Momma]

20. I laughed at first, then I cried for this country. nt
