- I think everyone is under the impression that because we survived the first four years, we’ll survive the second. - On election day, I steadied myself by saying that perhaps the only way to get a Bernie Sanders or FDR-like leader is for complete and utter disaster to occur prior. Of course, I can’t imagine a worse disaster than the first four years, but, hey, maybe this time will be even worse. - It’s really hard to hold onto hope for anything better, when throughout the course of my lifetime, everything has only gotten worse. - Income inequality was the highest it had been since the great depression, but that was years ago, and it’s only gotten worse. - The whole world was supposed to band together to stop the climate from warming past 1.5 C. We hit that last year, decades earlier than even the worst timelines predicted. - The rise of far-right nationalists in seemingly every country is like giving toddlers mid-tantrum nuclear launch codes. The fallout would kill us all. - I’m a non-violent person, but if a someone wants to start the progressive socialist revolution, know that I’ll stand beside you, brother. - You have my axe as well 
- Orange not even in power yet and already testing the waters to see how his expansion of the empire comments will go. 
- My guy, we didn’t have widespread death squads or a third world war last time. What do you mean you couldn’t imagine a worse disaster than the first four years? - Plenty of people are toeing the line for starting a revolution (which will in fact be a second civil war), but no one has followed anyone who’s crossed it. I’m convinced that it’s going to get ALOT worse before it gets better. 
 
- It was like watching a ritual sacrifice to the sun god, in the form of a football field of school children getting dumped into a volcano, all while everyone has cheery smiles.  - Missing the thunderous applause, but that’s absolutely it. 
 
- yep. they all shook hands as they loaded the weapons and the aimed the at the children. 
 
- I greatly appreciate the cultural cache that the crew of MST3K holds even now. - Me too. And they are all killing it on Bluesky.
