With this and all the shit the Supreme Court is ruling on while they can hide behind the debate coverage, it's not looking good for the country.

My brother in Christ it's not just looking bad, it's done. Federal agencies can't enforce policy anymore. You want accurate food labels? Safe drinking water? Labor rights? Workplace safety inspections? Gone. Bribery is not only legal, it can't be illegal anymore- all a Corp has to do is pay the congressman/president/justice off after the deed is done and all parties are 100% in the clear. Chuck in Project 2025 and if we ever have another Republican president, we will lose civil rights, LGBTQ rights, all contraception and abortion, non-religious public education, and religious freedom. After last night's debate performance and an official statement saying Biden is not backing out of the race, that's very, very likely in 2024 and, if the DNC doesn't wake their asses up like they should've in 2016, absolutely in 2028.

I'm very fortunate and find myself in a position where I could leave the country, but I don't know if even that is worth it. Feels like the whole world is not gonna make it through to the end of my natural life expectancy.
