Lmao. You even posting here is proof positive that you will in fact, be disrupted.

Francis appointed most of the college of cardinals, and I find it unlikely he'd appoint someone so ready to buddy with fascism, so we will likely still have a liberal pope.

Francis appointed most of the college of cardinals so more than likely we will get another woke pope. Hopefully this one is even woker.

I mean to say, for most Americans who are not news aware, the first signs will be that they simply can't get their treats anymore.

Even then, many of the more rural Americans will only ever have that experience. There's not going to be guns and tanks rolling through Westboro, Wisconsin.

I read something that some people experienced the collapse of the Roman Empire as their local bridge going out and no one ever coming to fix it.

I think a lot of Americans are going to experience the collapse of the American empire as their favorite treats never getting to the store shelves.

I wish we lived in a timeline where the official white house account didn't post like a boomer on Facebook

Florida is also the place where a court decided that residents don't have a right to clean water.

To be fair, it really started in 2015 when trump started his first run. His first term definitely brought attention to the rest of the world to ask if we were really this stupid. A second term is just a confirmation.

Idk, I doubt the advertising partners really have a problem with reddit porn. This dip is likely a reflection of the article linking reddit moderation policies to Elon Musk (absolutely hilarious that he's so toxic to stocks he's killing other people's companies now). I don't think this is even a reflection of a drop in users yet,

Thank God they're not just letting that shit slip

The thing about rightwing politics/christian politics, is that it is obsessed with women's purity, and who's the most likely to be pure? A literal child. Combine that desire for "purity" with refusal to hold people accountable, and it's no wonder it consistently attracts the most vile pedophiles.

Consequently, all of the homophonic and transphobic "groomer" stuff is actually just an appeal to their pedophile base, because if they can deflect the meaning of the word groomer, if they can water it down enough, then the Matt Gaetzs of the world can get away with it easier.
