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

      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.

      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.
