      History is me remembering the liberalism of my past, and the future is me remembering the liberalism of my present.

      I feel the same way

      The Hong Kong protesters were my first wake up call, seeing them wearing MAGA hats was a very :fry: moment for me

      For some time I wasn't equipped to make sense of it let alone understand the truth but luckily I found my way here and I'm grateful to all of our comrades here who guided me in the right direction

          Oh yeah, COVID really opened my eyes too

          They actually handled the problem and continue to do so while here in :amerikkka: we've been getting everything wrong from day one and continued to do so no matter which party is in charge, we're just pretending that it's over while a new plague blossoms

          The pandemic also made me realize just how shit the democrats are

          I always knew they were shit but I also would reliably :vote: because I thought they would at least get a few basics right and they failed to even do the bare minimum

          Now I feel completely :jokerfied: and the very notion of my :vote: meaning anything in this broken system is hilarious :i-voted:

      don't be too hard on yourself, American propaganda is pervasive and insidious
