    Forget about 2025. In less than two weeks we’ll know if sanity wins or if trump gets to turn the usa into a banana republic/christofacist hellhole. I’m so stressed out.

      Me too, and I don’t even live in the US. He’s bad fucking news. Even if he doesn’t get in, there is a non zero chance Don Jr or Eric are next up for the ticket in 2029

        I’m more worried about Tucker Carlson running.

        Been worried about it since like 2015.

        I’m glad that movie used Texas and California teaming up because it’s so unlike anything going on right now politically.

        If y’all haven’t seen it I highly recommend it. It’s more of a movie about being a war journalist than about anything political. They don’t even really drive into the why because it’s not important for the plot.

          I think the movie is quite explicit about the why, just not overt, they mention the president dismantling the FBI, i believe drone striking US citizens, Jesse Plemons character is clearly acting by the racist status quo.

            My point is those moments of exposition are very few and far between. We see the culmination of it but not the lead up. They don’t show the dismantling of the FBI, it’s just not relevant.
