2017-2021 was Trump, so I think it started earlier. Was it maybe more like US election season 2016 as the start of it? It's hard to pinpoint. But yes. The old US seems gone now-- Our government went from covertly corrupt to very openly so. We're becoming Russia, and its hard to imagine ever rolling it back to who we once were.

Harambe was 2016!

Not my joke, but it fits, lol.

Fall of 2012. Obama wins again. Weed is legal in some states. Gay marriage. Nuclear powered tank lands on Mars. iPhone 5.

2000

Just been a whipsaw shitshow since.

2000 is when Bush got elected and we openly courted the fringe, the uneducated, and religious right. Openly chose obstinacy and willful ignorance in an unqualified nepo-president who got the job because of daddy. 9/11 happened and the standard became selling shitty policy to Americans by labeling it something patriotic. The tax breaks came fast and hard, more unilateral decision making by the President. We can easily argue there were a lot of historic actions that led up to this from Gingrich to Nixon to Reagan, but Bush and the RNC are the one that really set things in motion to get us to trump. The Tea Partiers, Pailin, the official voice of the Right used openly to demonize the left and people like McConnell or Bohner actively sabotaging bipartisanship and undermining the presidency.

Yeah, 2000 for sure.

My ex wife cheated on me on December 28th, 2019.

I took a whole bunch of pills two weeks later that apparently are not lethal in any amount.

However, since then, I am all but convinced we live in hell, because never once in the past 5 and a half years has anything gotten better.

I'm sorry y'all. This might be the bad place.

The timelines been screwed since harambe was murdered.

[–] r00ty@kbin.life 13 points 6 days ago

It was obviously a very slow change starting in 2012. The mayans knew what was up!

I've always found it some form of narcissism or something that people always find some way to interpret something during their time as the most/best/worst whatever.

Kind of like how every election is always the most important election ever.

Or today is the most or least safe or all of these ridiculous things people suggest anecdotally. Your average person has little knowledge or context of history and just selfishly presumes, yes, NOW, this time, OUR time is the most crazy.

I'm well aware I'm thinking too much for a shitpost.

2005 was the best year: France had a hot and dry summer, so the grapes got a high concentration in sugars and tannins, which gave to most wines of that year an extreme deepness and complexity. Oh, I miss 2005 so much.

I think the last normal year was either 2012 or 2013.
