Well if it’s any consolation the outspoken critics are usually the first to go when dissidents start being rounded up so you may not have to deal with it as long as others

Those who won’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it

But you guys, Joe Biden made things better for you all, didn’t you hear? Nevermind that his strongest statements on this issue came in the last week of his term when he obviously had no intention of addressing it. Don’t worry about the fact that his hubris robbed us of the opportunity to have an open primary. Forget that his justice department decided to run out the clock on Trump’s legal cases instead of holding him accountable in any way. Just ignore the fact that he spared his friends and family from having to face the consequences of a Trump presidency by pardoning all of them. He was working so hard for us the whole time.

You guys are all acting like these things are pointless. They do have minute environmental benefits but their real use is to trick me into believing things will be OK. Otherwise I would lose my mind over how ridiculously suicidal our collective behavior is. That is a very valuable service they provide to me personally. I enjoy what little of my sanity remains to me.
