I expected the death of democracy in the US to be bloody, scary, and tumultuous. What I didn't expect is how fucking cringe it is. How embarrassing. How stupid.

It's like dying of autoerotic asphyxiation in a public fountain. Christ.

Yes! This would suck just as much but at least I'd feel cooler if the bootheel of authoritarianism was crushing my freedom with Cowboy Bebop's set dressing and soundtrack.

I was mostly prepared for the dystopia but not for how embarrassing it would be.

I was led to believe by @greatdismal.bsky.social that it would be a lot cooler in the run-up to the Jackpot
