Good bye America - Hello Amerikkka

Finally, it's done.

In just over 3 years Donald Trump and the people who put him in power have succeeded in destroying America and American democracy. And as a side job helping authoritarian dictators across the world suppress freedom.

I no longer do.

The US is falling down into a sinkhole, helped by consumerism and fascism.

Trump is only a symptom of the sickness that plagues the US.

We left the US permanently in September 2018.

No wish to to go back.

As the expression goes - I'm too old for this shit.

And dealing with teh stoopid that is endemic in the US is making me older and almost fucking suicidal.

Voting is all I can do, because trying to communicate with politicians, particularly the slimy ass sucking Pat Toomey is impossible.

Can't even rely on people that were elected. There was the complete dick move by Governor Wolf to freeze arts funding - https://www.inquirer.com/business/cultural-museums-arts-groups-wolf-grants-freeze-pennsylvania-20200430.html

Apparently, Trumpers love having an authoritarian leader who will tell them exactly what to think and feel. They're even willing at his command to deny the evidence of their own senses, and vote against their own best interests...

I don't give a damn if I have to break into the homes of every sane person I know and slap them awake so they can go out and vote!
