The Divided States of America - where now?

Guybrush · 08-25-2022, 09:26 AM

American politics is like watching a really dumb reality TV show. If you don't actually care, it might be good for a laugh. If you do care, it's just a source of frustration because they're not gonna do anything right anyways.

I think they have a blind spot. This will happen to "other people" or "the other side" or "libs" or "Dems" or insert whatever tag they use for people they consider their enemy. They don't realise that fascists turn on their own people quicker than any other type of leaders. Talk about eating your young. But they don't and won't see it, and even if it happens, they'll make excuses and manufacture a false reality where somehow it's Biden's fault.

I hate to say it, but it's more like the WWE in that the winner of an election is often predetermined, or so it seems from up here.

Seriously? NAFTA? Like BAFTA?

Yep, seriously.

I looked it up. It's now USMCA.

Sing it with me:

It's fun to get screwed by the USMCA!

Jesus on a rocket-powered sled blasting across the frozen tundra while reading Saviour Monthly!

IT. WAS. A. JOKE!

I was making a word play on BAFTA, the British Academy of Film and TV Awards.

Ah, hell. It's not worth it. If you don't get it then I don't know what to say.

Nobody knows what you're talking about cause we're from the real world.

Trollheart · 08-26-2022, 06:22 AM

My world's better.

I'm afraid I wasn't aware of the British Academy of Film and TV Awards.

Clearly I didn't get it. I guess you don't have to say anything. You should put on a helmet if you plan on banging it against a wall.
