I predict that there will be a movie where the characters wear masks and socially distance. It'll be like an artsy indie movie about how we live in a society and you'll watch it because everyone will be sharing their takes and you don't wanna be out of the loop and the movie will be ok.

    COVID relief bill early on after Biden’s inauguration which will just be tax credits and at the expense of that senile old ghoul getting to finally defund Social Security or at the bare minimum, medicaid instead. This will be the first of many grievances of Biden’s presidency which will lead to people saying “at least with Trump I got a $1,200 check.”

    I have a feeling that a lot of people with normie politics or just not plugged in as us, are going to look back at April and May and the stimulus and $600 PUA payments as "the good old days" (not necessarily tying it to Trump and liking Trump, just that's how bad Biden is going to be)

    The $1,200 stimulus, I think, is a perfect microcosm of the Biden/Trump dynamic. You had libs persuading lefties to vote for Trump because Trump is so horrible, but Trump did a small handful of things, like the stimulus, which was just fucking crumbs and sucked and should not be congratulated for it, but it's more than I think Biden is going to do. Or trying to pull out of Afghanistan and the Pentagon won't let him, while Biden will be fully on board.

    There's nothing about Trump that's good, but he would occasionally get his dick caught in the fan of right-wing creep because he's so fucking stupid, and any attempt he'd make at "presidenting" would occasionally cause chaos. Biden, by contrast, is probably going to seal himself in his senility bunker on Day One and hand the keys to the country over some John Bolton/Jamie Dimo-esque neoliberal nightmare. Which will increase the efficiency of the death machine one hundred fold.

    I think shit is gonna get way worse under Biden, not because Trump is good, but because Trump is fucking stupid and fucked things up just enough to prevent apocalypse. The same vile ghouls will be in place running things but they will have a president who's cooperative and not a monkey wrench now.
