  • It wasn’t an insurrection. The sentiment was “whatever, there’s always the next election”. And eventually we voted Obama in. That’s how the resilience of democracy is supposed to work. A shit hand one election doesn’t doom the country for eternity because when people get sick enough of it they can change things and vote differently. That was clearly Gore’s sentiment as well when he conceded to keep the country moving.

    That sentiment no longer exists. This is different. Conceding is not some patriotic sacrifice to keep the country moving. It is the end of democracy and there is no coming back.

    Neither of us really know how things will manifest, but this is not 24 years ago, the stakes are higher and the situation is far different.











  • They really do render these emergency systems useless by using them in such sn annoying and ineffective way.

    If an alert actually meant the risk was immediate and near by based on cell tower proximity or something i would check them every time, note license numbers, etc

    But 90% of the time it’s some shit out in Bumblefuck, TX and the car would have travelling straight to me by air to be within my vicinity any time soon.
