    No, it’s not. Nothing irreversible has happened yet. People have been saying this since Dubya. I was there when people threatened to leave with every election, saying they would move to Canada because the country was done for, and it got so old so fast.

    Consider that the only thing you’re doing is completing a self-fulfilling prophecy if you don’t resist.

    And honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if some Russian social engineering campaign is encouraging people to follow this trend by repeating it on social media. Do not give in.

      There is so much rot in congress, due to money. The fourth estate (the media) is also rotten to the core, due to money.

      Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission in 2010 is one of the irreversible things that happened already.

      Seceding is probably not the right answer either, but it’s a serious uphill battle for We, the people, to regain control over Congress.

        Thanks, you too, I’ve seen you around. Lemme block right away. You still got that insufferable Reddit attitude written all over.
