Five years ago if you told me there was going to be a systematic and targeted attack, dismantling of women's / LGBT / Minority rights I would have taken it as a bit of hyperbole.
Now I would be surprised if interracial marriage is still legal within the next two years.
I am terrified at the thought of any developed nation, deliberately driving its own populace to poverty, and embracing full on fundamentalist values but here we are.
Be safe, wherever you are.

I do recall forseeing this all back in 2002/2003 on this very board.
I thought I was going a little over the top, but it turns out my bitter pessimism was actually idiotic optimism.
I think things are going to get worse before they get better.
I also think the getting better part probably won't happen until after I'm gone.
Assumes things will get better.
I mean, eventually the sun will explode which will probably be an improvement.
