23. The America we knew ended in November 2024

Sun Jun 29, 2025, 01:21 PM

The country would have continued to return to something close to normal has Harris & Walz been elected. But 77 million Americans voted for a man who hates democracy and loves authoritarianism.

We're never going back to the way things were before Trump slithered down his escalator 10 years ago. We've been taken over by an evil autocrat backed by oligarchs and christofascists who prefer to live this way and find democracy to be an annoying obstacle.

Even if hopefully we win back power in 2026 and 2028 it's going to take decades to undo the damage being done every day.
