After nearly 24 years (! how is that possible), it will still hit from time to time. Nowadays, I can be rolling along and all of a sudden it's like I just woke up on 06Nov2024 and realized I lost my country.

I think the disease brought on by the krasnov cult of magats is Mass Sociopathy. It infects millions, but not the majority, of Americans.

I believe a General Strike is in order, like a couple months ago. This particular body CAN be brought back from the dead, if enough of We the People demand it.
