American voters will coauthor the entire 21st century within the next week. I think it really is that big of a deal, given the few plates I see spinning right now.

Unfortunately, we only get one timeline, so we better not fuck it up.
That ship sailed in May 2013.

Terrifying. That we could cease to be American in a week. Instead becoming whatever this mentally ill man’s concept of a country is instead. He doesn’t care about voting or the constitution, he’s said as much on multiple occasions. He’s proved as much on Jan 6.
I am not someone who hangs flags but my god. This vote is now coming down to whether or not you’re a patriot of this country. The republic is dead if this man wins.
If you ever wondered how most Germans felt in January of 1933, probably like this.

Ha! Of course the liberal media doesn't talk about all the times Harris called the her opponents fascists. That's equivalent right? Name calling?
That is because it is a fact Trump is a fascist. It is not name calling.
Sorry, thought the obtuseness was a good replacement for /s but we are kind of living in a post-intellectual era.
In other words my original reply was ironic.
Ah ok. Hard to detect that these days.
I've got a pretty good sense for these things, and yours is certainly a case of Poe's law, because I've heard nearly the same exact argument used in all seriousness many times.
