    For real though, what does the rescue float in the meme represent irl?

    Cuz I sure as fuck won’t be praying, but I’m not really seeing any options other than watching in horror as our country burns down around us.

    We can’t even point to the electoral college fucking us over this time - an actual majority of voters decided they want to experience 1930s Germany live and in color.

    We’re not going to fix a political system when the majority of actual voters are evil to the core.

      The country is not burning down. Lots of people will greatly benefit from Trump being elected.

          Trump as president most likely means a lot of rich people getting richer, american companies getting less regulations, religious fanatics getting their way, etc.

            “The nazis coming to power means the autobahn gets expanded, german manufacturing booms, the anti-semites get their way, etc.”

              I mean, yeah. It’s great for some people at the expense of others. That’s exactly my point. America will dig dig dig, get super cheap coal, destroy any chance of climate destruction. But for a moment the economy will be amazing.
