We won't. We were still recovering from Reagan's trickle-down bullshit when fartface gave us his "fuck-you if you are not filthy rich BB bill"

"Fuck-you if you are not filthy rich BB bill" is absolute perfection. 🔥🎯🤬

50 years and we still haven't recovered from Reagan.

This is, sadly, correct.

We are not even in recovery mode from Reagan, we are suffering consequences.

A lot of us are going to die in Civil War II. And depending who wins, a lot more of us are going to die in the purge. If the good guys win, I think it will take about a generation to get most of our place in the world back.

Nor in mine

I’m 73. Recovery will take a lot longer than my remaining time.

Indeed, humanity may never recover. However, I do take solace in the certainty that the Tree of Life will survive our idiocy. petersironwood.com/2022/06/30/a...

This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing! 💙

I'm 50, so I know I won't be alive for it. I don't have kids, so I don't fight for them. I stand up because I'm an American and more importantly I'm a human fuckin being and people deserve a lot better than this. #Empathy #Compassion #Altruism #Love

I'm 3 years younger than you & I grieve at the future we are leaving for our kids. 💔😭

I meant to say future generations.

Recover to what, though? Think of the past 60 years as a baseline. When were we ever not being gaslighted, set up, or sold out by the Democratic Party and it's mistress Capitalism? Sure, there were passionate individuals with morals, but objectively overall, what the Dems offered led us to fascism

Valid point, but I will always put the blame only where it belongs: the Republicans.

Question your assumptions before you're in the street, penniless, and wondering how the fuck it could have happened to you.

You are correct we’ll never go back again

I fear it will get worse. That man is setting us up for a second Civil War. I think it will be ignited when fed troops go into Chicago or any other blue city. He is doing all this crazy shit to get it going.

I have the same fears. By the time enough people wake the fuck up, it might be too late.

That's a given, but it will be life affirming to start to cut out the tumor.

Nor will be able to pay the medical bills! Time to play the lotto!

Which is so insane.

Yeah. Me, too. 🫶

I’m almost 70, so reasonably certain I won’t survive this administration. But I’m working to keep the resistance going. And to try to help the youngsters I love become equipped with the knowledge, skills, and hearts they’ll need to bring things back on course.

I love this so much! Thank you!! 💙💙💙

I'm 70 years old....I know for sure we will never recover in my lifetime But MAN did I ever have the good times? A little kid during the exciting space race....a teenager in the hippie era...turned 21 when "Disco" hit

You have indeed lived through some good times. 💙

yeah UNFORTUNATELY-I was a young impressionable 8-year-old in 3rd grade when president Kennedy was assassinated-that shock sort of never went away

I can only imagine. 💔💔😭

We’ve seen the best of America 60 years of progress completely wiped out It will be a century before that repeats And most of us will be dead

I'm 51.5. This fight will be the rest of my life. At the end of 2020 I survived an aortic aenyrism, and I sit and scream inside, "for this shit?"

God, I am so sorry. It's such a slap in the face. Like you survived *that* only to have idiots pull the rug from under you (again). 💔💙

I have had a lot of Frodo moments. You know, that all thats to do is use the time you're given, gates of Moria, Gandalf speech. I would love to say, maybe I lived to join the revolution and restore America! (Ta-Da!) But my entire aortic arch is a ticking machine. I can't get tazed, man. Sigh.

There are many ways to resist. Take care. 💙

Me too. I didn’t plan on spending the last 10-15 years of my life in fascist hell.

It depends on how old you are. If you are in your early twenties, maybe you still have a chance, but not us older folks.

Same here. What a sad and sorry country this group of MAGA idiots have created for our heirs. It is heartbreaking.💔

It's unforgivable imo. They willingly chose to destroy the country so they could openly hate other human beings while professing they are Christians. Madness. Utter madness.

I’m with ya! Eventually everyone will see them as Nazis. Everyone that matters

This is a pivot point for America. Permanent damage has been done. The Republican party is likely over. It’s not just Trump the entire party in more than complicit in everything. How can they justify completely caving to a clearly criminal and disturbed president? “Trump threatened me I was scared”

I agree with this.

We will

I wish I had your optimism.

I have to keep believing. I'm ready to roll up my sleeves and do my part. We got this. We are going to fix it. Have a good weekend and enjoy it.

💙💙💙 I hope you enjoy your weekend as well.

Lets get serious, so you can see it happen!
