Try paying attention to how a president actually governs and how they've affected material conditions. If you look at it that way, Trump is at worst the level of Obama (who started 5 new wars), and several orders of magnitude less bad than W or Bill Clinton. Remember, Lincoln project wants to invade Iran/Vz/Russia. Fuck those war criminals

    Everything’s already back to normal

    Bruh, what? Have you not been looking at the figures? Tens of millions unemployed? At least 35% of small businesses completely wiped out?

    I don't know what happens next, but if you're thinking there's going to be some kind of 2008 style complacency, then I don't think you're reading how badly things are falling apart. This is as bad as the Depression, or worse.

    And we're at the beginning of this, not the end. I don't know what happens next, but it sure as shit is not going to be "normal." It already isn't.

        Six months ago, I would've agreed with you. Things are looking pretty fucking wacky now though. I don't think that's gonna be true at all.

        I'll mark my calendar. We'll see what happens.
