I don't know about your experience, but my hope withdrawl seems to take about four years to shake. And then I relaspse. And then another four years to shake. And then I relapse. Here's to hoping I can finally break the cycle in 2028. Ahhh, shit, there I go again...

The Nazis lost WW2 because the USA, USSR, and other countries combined to crush the German military.

Today, the USA and Russia are on Team Fascism and are working together to destroy democracy and the rule of law.

Is that fact sufficient to destroy any semblance of hope for the future?

"Hope is pouting in advance. Hope is Faith's richer, bitchier sister. Hope is the deformed, addict-bound incest monster offspring of entitlement and fear." Thanks, Frankie!
