My theory is that Covid killed everyone and this is purgatory. (TikTok screencap)

    “I just got a great idea for a new novel! It’s about the end of humanity, but with a twist, because the humans don’t even know they are done for yet. They think it’s just a bit more aggressive flu, but in fact it’s highly contagious and each time you get it, it damages your brain a slight bit more. Everyone keeps getting infected and so they slowly get dumber and more aggressive until civilization collapses in wars and economic chaos.”

    “That’s stupid, something like that could never happen.”

      The flu is one thing, all of the toxins we are exposed to from companies trying to save a buck is everywhere as well. This is like some 1984 shit we are heading right now. More dangerous chemicals than ever being allowed into our water, our air, and our food. The flu and the covids are just icing on the cake. And I think I have noticed people getting Dumber from the 90s. Not starting in 2020 starting before that.

    *2016 was the last normal year.

    Let’s not forget the chaos and societal upset during the first term.

    Edit: I guess it would actually 2015 as the last normal year. 2016 started with Harambe and ended with the far-right winning an election and a Nazi parade honoring trumps election.

      Bruh we as Americans have such a short attention span/memory I stg.

      His first term was “BUILD THE WALL”, “CHECK THE BAFROOMS”, “SHUT DOWN BASES IN EUROPE” and “NO MUSLIM IMMIGRANTS ALLOWED!!!”

      None of these ideas he’s espousing are new, they’re just more hateful and damaging. He just got slightly better at understanding politics/government, so now he’s more dangerous/efficient.

        Yeah, there was too much infighting and incompetence for him to do as much damage in the first term. His cabinet was dropping like flies the first term and we’re almost 8 months in and nobody’s been fired yet

    “With this character’s death, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created.”

    It was Harambe. We didn’t reload.

      We were saying this elsewhere, and someone posted a link claiming the real cause was like a week before Harrambe, a rat I think it was crawled into the Hadrian collider I think while on, in switzerland I think they are accelerating particles to study Physics bullshit, higgs boson something.

      There was a theoretical possibility they could have started a chain reaction that would destroy the world they were saying when they were talking about building it fyi.

      Anyway though this rat got in there when it was on and they are saying that through the timeline off, a week before harambe.

    1975 is the beginning of the end for the US Empire. The treasury spent on a dumb war in SE Asia, Reaganomics and his trickle down BS, Gulf War I & II (wasting more treasure). Krasnov, COVID and fucking Krasnov again.

      1972 was the genesis, there was a business Round Table where the rich and Powerful companies agreed on a long game to overthrow democracy and undo the gains from the New Deal. They have since refined the game, and destroyed any organized opposition. Also obviously had worthless conservatives on their side take over the Democratic Party.

    In 2010 they tried to create micro black holes, since this hat not worked the probability for extra dimensions is somewhat limited, at least that is what we believe. But maybe something went wrong back in 2010.

      Basically at long as taco is in the office it will be miserable.

      The bad things is that in first term there was that there were still competent people around him. This time he fired everyone and replaced with lackeys. Unless he is stopped, US might not recover from it.

      Just looking at the recent meeting in Bejing shows how quickly USA is losing its power. And it’s been only 7 months.

        I think it’s the other way around actually.

        The first time nobody expected Trump to win, so they didn’t have a plan what to do if he did.

        The second time they had a plan called Project 2025 and they are going through it more or less point by point now.

      It was kind of a meme that 2016 sucked. Then Trump got elected at the end and everything magically got better for everyone and we all lived happily ever after.

      (Do I really need to include the /s here?)

      For real, how short is the meme maker’s memory? We went truly off the rails during the first Trump admin.
