In three weeks, Donald Trump has imploded whatever positive image the United States might have had internationally.

      i mean literally, nothing has happened, sure some things have happened, but my point is, nothing to the scale of “THE US IS FUCKING DISSOLVING INTO ATOMS RIGHT FUCKING NOW”

      when the government no longer recognizes my ID, i will believe that claim, but up until then, very little has happened.

        In your short comment you went from “literally nothing” to “something” to “very little” has happened. Which is it?

        Just because not much has affected you individually doesn’t mean that nothing has happened and that other people aren’t affected.

        Don’t let the world descend into chaos before you finally decide to give a damn. By then it’s already too late

          literally nothing, to “something” and “very little” are not very large swings, especially when taking account of context.

          Just because not much has affected you individually doesn’t mean that nothing has happened and that other people aren’t affected.

          then go post about those things, stop making shit up and lying about the state of the US, post about actually bad things that are happening to actually real people.

          Don’t let the world descend into chaos before you finally decide to give a damn. By then it’s already too late

          unfortunately, i used to care, until i comprehended the sheer stupidity of the general public, unfortunately now my apathy far exceeds any desire for the human race to continue, and i hope for everybody to die a painful death as retribution for their stupidity.

            Then I’d hate to see how painful your death is going to be…

            Nice to know you’re ok with being part of the problem.

              that’s ok, assuming it actually mobilizes people into doing something about it, instead of me just dying in a cold dark hole where nobody hears about it or cares about it because trump executive order 2134 has passed and it states that “everyone who wears a hate must wear a hat of this specific shade of red”

              Nice to know you’re ok with being part of the problem.

              i’m not part of the problem, i’m part of the result of the problem. You guys all had your chance, and didn’t manage it. Don’t come crying to me when i die a martyr.

        Well a lot of people had to go to court before Transpeople could start getting passports and I’m not sure all of us can

          i’m not sure what that holds for the future either, but ultimately if you exist as a citizen of the united states, you must have SOME form of legal identity that exists in SOME level of authority to grant you a passport. I’m not sure it would abide international law, or human rights to deny that. Maybe it doesn’t, north korea is notoriously restrictive after all.

          And at that point, i would assume you can manage something like asylum, outside of the states. Because at that point, things are getting desperate.
