"It will take generations to fix the damage" - Fuck that defeatist noise! [View all]

I keep hearing talk of fucksticks "legacy" and "import" and "impact", usually within the hand-wringing "oh woe is me" it will take "generations"....

Fuck all of that!

This is the United Fucking States of America.

Fixing this fucked-up shit, will take us about as long as it takes to clean dogshit out of the grooves of our tennis shoes.

It took us 7 years win our freedom from England...6 if you count the Paris Treaty as the end date.

We kicked Germany and Japan's ass in a little less than 4 years.

Hoop Skirts lasted about 6 years.

The Pet Rock and Cabbage Patch Kids were a "phenomenon" for less than a year.

We lived Gangum Style for about 6 months.

We dubstepped for a couple months.

Anyone still have their "Google Glass"?

Are you on "Threads"?

No, this doesn't require us fucking "generations".

All it requires is voters showing up in enough force to send this MAGAt shitshow to the ashes of history.

I guaran-fucking-tee you...this fucksticks legacy is going to be remembered by how quickly all the shit he's done is destroyed and forgotten.

His entire misadministration is about as significant as that dog shit on our shoes. A scrubby pad and soap and water is all it takes to clean it out.
