SUUUUUPER Hot Take: The PSTD and Trauma is the price to pay for being prematurely evacuated from the impending Sahara sized food desert that will encompass the USA before 2030. (Sorry morbid humour is my coping mechanism)
I’m being HELLA-facetious here. Like it’s ultra fucked up what they’re doing.
But like America is FUCKED. >70% of the food is ultra processed. Of that remaining 30% over half of that is imported from regions that are experiencing agriculture interrupting climate change.
There is going to be massive food scarcity and malnutrition on levels that even Great Depression survivors have never experienced.
From here in Canada it looks a lot like, instead of governing responsibly, the USA is burning up its own land in the expectation that when things get tough it can just take ours.
Well, there is the argument that a lot of aggressive actions by the Third Reich were in part an attempt to keep their economy from collapsing after blowing everything on the military.
The US produces so much food that it’s people do not eat. We grow corn to turn into shitty fuel, or to feed to cows in another country. And we also grow soybeans to feed to Chinese farm animals. Millions of tons of food get shipped away
I fled the US and definitely have both of those things.
People in the US don’t (or do) realize how much collective trauma we’ve all endured. Any time a car backfires in a crowded area, the resulting stampede makes the news. People don’t generally live like that in other countries.
You must not live in an area where dumbasses paying tons of money to ruin their cars with crackle “tunes” is popular yet, then.
There’s one asshat with a Mustang around here that he’s got deliberately set to backfire about twenty times every time he takes is foot off the gas, and he goes ripping up and down the main drag all night. I’ve timed him and you can quite literally hear him coming from about two miles away.
I’m a pretty live-and-let-live sort of bird, but damn, bro. Give it a rest after midnight, will you?
Yeah I think Trump actually could’ve been a successful dictator if he had just… you know… materially improved the lives of the population before burning down all of our institutions. People don’t believe in America, they’re not going to cling to the ideal if their lives meaningfully improve while it’s trashed. But he didn’t do that.
Much like Season 1 Trump, but a little scarier imo, I think the administration’s greed and incompetence will be our only saving grace. Though the increasingly-militant resistance is also a very good sign.

That’s exactly what it feels like!

Well, not any more.
That’s why they were grown. Also China did end up buying the 12mm tons it promised to in the last couple of weeks.

Yea I’m not trying to make light of the life long damage these children are receiving.
But like I genuinely believe thousands to millions of americans will starve within the next 10 years.
I can’t remember the last time I heard a car backfire.

Whatever else the prior admins did, they kept the products and food and fuel flowing into the states.
The Trump admin bombed it all. So yes, we will start to have shortages soon.

It’s chaos. Trump is an empty vessel filled with whomever is standing next to him.
His daughter didn’t like immigrant children washing up on beaches (first term) so sanctions were placed.
As soon as Elon went to work the next one pushed him out to take over filling up Trump with ideas.
He gushed over Mamdani even though the man is his opposite.
The rubber banding makes sense when you realize he’s a big, dumb sponge for the guy talking to him. Right now, it’s Stephen Miller.
