American people are turning away from the establishment in its entirety.
Biden won 2020, and I think it's safe to say he was fairly establishment.
Edit: And as much as we want to forget, Trump was President of the United States from 2016 to 2020. He IS an establishment candidate. He wants the establishment of an authoritarian fascist regime that unlawfully, violently silences his critics and imprisons or murders the minority group of his choosing.
Call me what you like, but I think you have more in common with me than with MAGA. And if your IFF is malfunctioning, well, I hope you get it checked out soon.
I'm gonna get serious flak for saying this, but "the Irish aren't white." Not to MAGA. Neither are the Italians, nor the Greeks, nor the Polish. The Brits are out, we overthrew them in 1776. We beat the Germans in 1945, and the Ruskies in 1992.
You're Catholic? You're not welcome. You live north of Richmond? Northern Aggressor. You live in one of the 21 states with a coastline? Coastal Elitist.
It's not "being white isn't enough anymore," it's "nothing is white enough anymore." They will find any part of your identity to discredit and ruin. And if they can't, they'll make one up, until they finally consume themselves.
Get ready for the Coastal Elitist North Aggressors of Colorado, the Johnsons.
That's not the thing that surprises me anymore. I've now long been convinced that 45 out of every 100 Americans are enormous sacks of shit, always have been, and always will be. Even if you say, well at least 1 of those 45 will finally kick the bucket, an indoctrinated child will just take their place.
The thing that surprises me is that these articles keep coming out trying to show this off and say "look, he keeps losing support from all of his terrible policies, you're not alone in thinking this is insanity."
But that 45% has not changed in the last FIVE YEARS. This isn't news anymore, and it hasn't been for a very long time. Who at NBC thinks this is convincing or comforting to anyone, at least anyone who gets their news from NBC? That's what surprises me, how slow and how unconvincing the media has been acting for the last 10 years.
That design also enables a low-cost approach to manufacturing that has caught the eye of major investors, reportedly including Jeff Bezos. It's been engineered and will be manufactured in America, but is this extreme simplification too much for American consumers?
I'm more worried about the cheapness and corner cutting.
I'm extremely surprised that so many comments like FC5. What makes it the favorite over FC3? I know everyone loves to compare the villains of the franchise, and I think Vaas is far more compelling than the FC5 villain.
Man I was gonna add a whole part about Cletus the trailer trash calling ICE to deport an American citizen, thinking he'll somehow be able to seize OP's home and squat in it, without understanding how civil forfeiture works. But I left it out because I felt like I had gone on long enough. But yeah, what you described is basically exactly what I expect to happen in 4-6 months.
