Roxane Gay: I guess the British won after all. — Subium • Bluesky web client

I guess the British won after all.

If it's any consolation — and I suspect that it isn't — it doesn't feel like it over here.

Supreme Court rules 6-3 that democracy is uncomfy.

The confederates too?

That's what really pisses me off this tbh.

Shit, at least if we were officially British we would have healthcare.

Such as it … is The “was” is long gone Until the next Revolution

well yeah, they conservatives have pretty well gutted it, so I don't know if it's actually any better now.

Yes, yes it is. My aunt’s cancer diagnosis turnover was 10 days, she’s getting her treatment plan in a few days and it’s all free. I appreciate the conservatives have worn it down but I won’t shit on it, it’s still an immense achievement and still saves lives daily.

Authoritarian right-wing Americans won. It's been 248 years, America: own your shit. Britain is busy enough punching itself in the face, thankyouverymuch.

Bad as he is, I would rather have Charles than Trvmp

1776 was a quarter of a millennium ago, and you've come a long, long way from 13 colonies. The actual modern British have a mountain of their own shit to deal with, thanks.

The British. And the Confederates. And the Axis.

It is Canada Day, so...

This fight has been going on for a long time, clearly not done yet www.google.com/books/editio...

The federalists finally got their king.

They are going to discover that he is, in fact, UNCONTROLLABLE 😹 I laugh because they have no clue just how bad that will be… for Them I reiterate, think as hard as that may be… Sit with it, mull it over (Thank you, Martin 🙌🏼) It’s not what they “thought”they were doing 😬 It will bite them HARD

The American Revolution was just Brexit Part 1.

I was thinking more along the lines of the Confederates. It's like they played the long game, infiltrated every subtract of the government, and now they are reaping the rewards. 😑😖

And they are scared to death after 14 years of Tory rule, leaving the EU & 4 PMs, the most recent of which has enrolled his kids in school in the US. His wife isn’t taxable in the UK.

*5* PMs. And there's a scary chance that the next one, in the not-too-distant future, will be having to sit down opposite Trump and le Pen, amongst other right-wing assholes. So I don't really think it feels like we won.

You got sold to Saudi & Russia Oiligarchs in the form of estates, London real estate & football clubs.

Yep. We were dumb, we were complacement, and we got played for fools repeatedly by the right-wing press.

"complacent"

Us, too!

Don't pin this on us 🥲

I guess the French won after all.

Really turned out well for Louis XVI & family.

Really, bin Laden won.

I can't decide if it would be funnier if they chose trump or biden as next prime minister on July 4th

You're welcome back any time.

1812 they did

And now we wish we hadn't.

Why yes. As it turns out they did.

If they had we would be much better off.
