        Can confirm, am American. Whole sectors of our economy depend on grants/government spending and they’re very uncertain about their futures

      i’ll keep apologizing for our buffoonery. But don’t write us all off. We will find a way to fix this. Inevitably. Just takes time in democracies.

          Just like how every democracy has gone through troubling times. You can’t give up hope. It will stand this.

              Sadly. Thats never really an option here because of the military state of the police. I wouldn’t feel comfortable telling anyone to go up against the police state. They’ll happily shoot other Americans. They want to.

                  I hold a security clearance. So I don’t tend to talk about that stuff publicly. Just peaceful coexistence till next election.
