    this is the dumbest timeline

    this has been the dumbest possible timeline for longer than you or I can probably remember. I remember noticing the difference between pre-2015 and post-2015, but I’ve been assured things have been imploding consistently since at least 9/11 and definitely by the 2008 financial crisis.

    In other words, it is entirely possible, yes.

        I’ve had people tell me Reagan, and other people tell me we’ve sucked since FDR died. I’m tempted to believe them, with what history I know.

          Or when Lincoln was assassinated, since his VP was a Confederate sympathizer and immediately set about undoing his work.
