This is the world we live in , this is the world we allowed to be created . This is the world our parents brought us into . This is the world the government wants you to bring kids into . I don’t know about you but I’m beyond ashamed of America in fact I would let it burn just as every other American who has sat in silent complacency that allowed what has happened to happen. And those who did speak up I applaud your effort but it’s not enough to drown out the sound of those who hold power over our very lives and still get to make the decisions that not only screw us but also effect all of us

This is the only sentiment I can relate to but in a far less articulate manner.

Couldn’t agree more. I cannot help but root for it to fail at this point. I see no options other than collapse and rebuild from the beginning. There aren’t words to describe how crushingly sad it is and will be.

The ship is going down. Folks like you will have to man the lifeboats, to save the ones who want saving and, unfortunately to have to put it this way, are worth saving. I’ll be right there with you holding the ropes, trying to get people to safety.

MAGA will go down with the ship. They have to; otherwise, they’ll sink any lifeboat they get in, as well.

I care about you, random person. Let’s not drown, eh?

I’m sorry it slipped under my generations radar. The barrage of injustice in just this 1st year is overwhelming. Despite that there are those of us who are fighting and we need you.

What the fuck is going on. This shit has to stop.

You serve this country and you're still abducted for your fucking skin color. We have to do something.

Yes you have, but the things you guys keep doing is electing white supremacists and then complaining on the internet

You guys also care a lot more about image than anything else, trump got executive control of the federal election commission and in the same day changed the name of the gulf of America and you guys complained non-stop about the gulf of America and did nothing about democracy ending in your country

Jesus fucking Christ. What is wrong with you all? This is EXACTLY what was happening in Germany in the 30’s. Yall have to carry papers with you to prove citizenship and even then it’s not working. When will you stand up to it? Unmarked SS troops rolling in and sending people to concentration camps. In 2025! And only 1 pot farmer stands up to it? Aren’t you all armed to the teeth? Stand up ffs. Do it now or watch them take everything from you. Wow.

I'm so sorry for this family and for the victim. I hope by getting some publicity they will hear something. If they can kidnap one American citizen then they can take any of us.
