Lol we are so deeply fucked. This last week has been a bigger impact from SCOTUS alone that the election is small potatoes in comparison

I don't believe so. There are far too many people, in the US, that aren't brainwashed simpletons. The fight for freedom will continue.

Over half of the population can't even be bothered to get off their asses to vote.

I applaud your optimism, but I think it's a fantasy.
