It's All Hopeless! Nothing Will Ever Be Done! It's OVER!

TFG will get re-elected and pardon everyone. The DOJ will never try anyone. Democrats won't turn out in 2022 and 2024 and regain control of Congress. Merrick Garland is a total failure and hasn't accomplished anything at all. President Biden won't get anything done. The January 6 House Committee will shut down without taking any action whatsoever.

Russia will invade Ukraine, North Korea will strike Guam with a nuke, and China will execute all American Olympic athletes who win medals.

There's just no point to anything any longer. I give up.

So, have I covered everything? Is that about it?

Extreme !

Some of us aren’t quite as whimsical as you. Some of us actually have lives and problems and we care about democracy and how it’s being affected. Not everyone has lived as privileged a life as some here who obviously have no worries. Some of us were actually harmed greatly by four years of Trump and don’t relish a repeat.

This post is in very poor taste in my opinion.

So many have said they have to leave the US for greener pastures. Where that is I don't know.
Covid-19 is in every nation. Many of the potential places to go won't let you move there. Other
nations have just as many problems as the US.

We Democrats in Florida might as well just not even vote because a poll today apparently gives Republicans a decent lead. No mention that the primaries haven't even happened and it's February.

Just we're doomed, forget about it.
