21. So many people say we're living Idiocracy, but Don't Look Up is a way more realistic scenario for what we're living.

I feel like Leonardo DiCaprio in that scene where he's screaming at people about the fact that there's a meteor coming to destroy earth and no one is paying attention. And I've been saying this for two years now since the Ukraine invasion.

THERE IS A MAD MAN IN MOSCOW SITTING IN THE KREMLIN WHO IS OUT FOR WORLD DOMINATION AND PEOPLE ARE JUST ROLLING OVER AND LETTING HIM WIN!!!

Look, if Putin wins in Ukraine and continues his conquest of Europe, guess what? Game over. There won't be a United States left to protect, and this election was basically letting Putin win in Ukraine. If you enjoy your freedoms they will be gone when Putin and his goons take over. We should be bombing Putin and his goons back to the stone ages. Instead half of this country has their head up their ass because they're distracted by the shiny things on TV and social media.
