    The terrible irony of Donald Trump saying that a civilization will end, is that he’s absolutely correct

    Just not the way he means.

    The change is what looks to be the final nail in the coffin with respect to our nation’s civilization.

    This is going to rewrite global relations.

    For those of us in the US, the task of rebuilding something completely different while freeing ourselves from billionaire extinction cult despotism will be the work of generations

    @GhostOnTheHalfShell King Croesus once went to war with Persia, after the oracle in Delphi announced that he will destroy a great empire.

    It turned out it was his own.

    We call people like Trump “Croesus” for a reason.

      I feel a lot more hope reading this, than reading the folk calling in the politicians to ensure never again.

      Thank you for being a light in the darkness.

          King Croesus was told by the Delphic Oracle that if he invaded Persia, he would destroy a great empire. Croesus attacked the Persians, but was instead defeated and captured. The great empire destroyed was his own.

                    "In most versions of the story, Cyrus kept Croesus as his advisor".

                    I don't foresee that being Tump's end days.

                            She’d be fine. I just like Manda me right now because he’s so I don’t wanna say in your face, but he’s keeps on putting out the short videos of the mayor doing this in the mayor doing that which is a good PR at the very least but he’s doing all those horrifying communist things like fixing potholes and making life more affordable.

                              @GhostOnTheHalfShell @SharonCrockett Oh, I don't disagree, on the contrary, it seems like he'd be a great fit. AOC seems to have similar energies in my mind, which is why I brought her up.

                                  It takes decades to build trust and it is being thrown away in weeks or even days.

                                    Of which I have absolutely no interest in rebuilding. Sick of politics and hypocrisy everywhere. Will miss this beautiful country but don't think I can stay here anymore. I would be proud to contribute to Canada.

                                      AOC needs to stay where she is. I want Pete. But,yeah problem-he seems to have disappeared.

                                        It takes decades to build trust and it is being thrown away in weeks or even days.

                                        @alterelefant @GhostOnTheHalfShell I won't trust America until you fix the system that elected Trump, twice. Now it's clear that your 'checks and balances' and your 'well regulated militia' are unable to stop a lunatic president ruling by executive order and social media post, how are you going to stop the next one? It'll take some serious constitutional amending before anyone takes your government seriously again.

                                          King Croesus was told by the Delphic Oracle that if he invaded Persia, he would destroy a great empire. Croesus attacked the Persians, but was instead defeated and captured. The great empire destroyed was his own.
