TranscriptA threads post saying "There has never been another nation ever that has existed much beyond 250 years. Not a single one. America's 250th year is 2025. The next 4 years are gonna be pretty interesting considering everything that's already been said." It has a reply saying "My local pub is older than your country".

You guys think it's bad reading all this online?

Try living here...

I bet outside of the US they have a very different perspective of what it's like living here right now.

Specifically, the fact that things like some of our largest protests ever aren't even being covered inside the states. There are huge public displays thousands and thousands of people being completely ignored by media. I wonder what else we're not being allowed to see here.

I've been saying this right from the beginning, but this is a war on information.

Felon 45 and the right are going to do everything they possibly can to make sure word doesn't get out
