What, you mean more action than "nothing"?

The US is now run by MAGA minds. There is NOTHING that can and will be done. Many red hats will die but that's a sacrifice THEY are willing to make.

We just need to wear N95 masks and let them die of H5N1. Both problems will cancel each other out.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

I don't give a fuck about the redhats dying.

Its all the innocent people they'll kill along the way that concern me.

Remember last pandemic they literally assaulted people over masks.

As a millennial, I'd like to bow out. I've seen enough history happen and I don't like where this is going

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I hate the fact that we're about to repeat a history that is only 8 years old.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Jesus christ, it's already eight years old and nothing has been improved or learned.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, lots of things changed and improved, thanks to biden.

But..Biden is boring, and after 4 years of trump..Media absolutely hates a boring president, so every major win he had was barely covered, and almost never had the "panel of experts" on to discuss it in such a way average people could wrap their heads around it.

But Trump will undo all the gains Biden made unfucking the first Trump presidency.

So we're gonna be back to square one regardless.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 1 points 1 day ago

You went off on a tangent after your first sentence. Could you share what Biden did to help this?

I actually think Biden has been a really good president, for what it's worth, but I haven't seen anything reported about him making improvements in this area.

Humans have only two ways to react. Under and over. This will be fun... again...

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

It's one way, under react until you have to over react.
