the saddest part about Trump’s death is that he will die peacefully of old age on the warmest bed in the fanciest house surrounded by his loved ones and his goons after spending his entire life committing every sin in the book unpunished and that will be it.

I sound like a crazy conspiracy theorist when I say the government is using ai to make ppl complacent and dumber to control them easier but that’s genuinely where we’re at in society rn
