I didn’t vote for Trump, this is not a justification for anything he is doing, this is purely me trying to find any crumb of hope in this abysmal situation.
The country was in decline for at least a decade before Trump took office. So far everything has been a slow boil and we Americans just take it imo.
Maybe Trump will make everything so awful so quickly it will force actual change. Basically we were slowly heating the water and when it turned lukewarm Trump just cranked the heat up to max, maybe the frog realizes this and jumps out.
And maybe cotton candy will shoot out of my butt and feed all the starving orphans.
The frog jumps out when it’s uncomfortable no matter how slow you heat the water, despite what the meme tells you. The issue is that there’s plenty of people more than willing to provide yet another pot of water to boil for the frog to jump into, because the frog just wants out, it doesn’t care where it goes.
