Inb4 "How is it still January?"
This timeline split into two when Leon Czolgosz went to Buffalo, NY in 1901 to assassinate William McKinley - one is the timeline that we live in (Timeline A) and one is the timeline where the US become socialist (like in the alternate history story "Reds! A Revolutionary Timeline"). Seriously!
While I love Bale sucking that cig like its his last meal crack pipe in most meme formats, this might be my favorite.
I dont even smoke cigs.
Fuck. I thought that post must be old as heck because it felt a lot longer than that
I recommend everyone to set up a blocklist of politics communities. Here's mine:

france
france is only blocked because it's french-speaking and i'm not. otherwise i love france!

The important thing is that you’re aware of what’s going on, not your mental health.
Politics doesn’t ignore you so you must engage with it even if it makes you misanthropic and despondent.
Happiness will never exist, and you should take pride in your misery because it means you’re a good citizen and are paying attention.
Very very weird question, but how would you feel if someone gives you a footjob under the table at Applebee's, just like in the meme?
I have reasons to live beyond foot jobs.
But I am forced to play the ridiculous game of politics so I have no hope for the species.
Are you a nihilist?
No, just a patriotic citizen who’s learned a lot about how our government works.

I don’t want things to go to shit but it’s not like I can stop it. Humans gonna human.
