Probably because NJ electricity prices went up 30 percent thanks to NJ closing down nuclear power plants + fossil fuel plants in favor of "green" energy plants that never got built. Energy got more expensive because of the need for AI data centers.

even niggas gotta pay the power bill

That... actually makes way too much fucking sense.

Lincoln did it because we were tearing ourselves apart quite literally. We are not there yet. Life is still pretty cozy man. Anyone saying otherwise isn't living in reality. Until the power and other utilities shut off and you are fighting in the streets, we are not at the point where Trump I'd going full Lincoln.

Too add to this, the scenario Lincoln was faced with in 1861 is explained with the proper 2026 context.

It is Febuary 1, 2026. Federal Agents in LA are beseiged by locals. They have arrested numerous illegals and are holding them pending deportation, but they can't get them out of the federal building due to mass protest. Instead of clearing the protestors away, the LAPD, acting on the orders of the California Governor, orders the federal officers to release the residents of California kidnapped by ICE. They have a court order, signed by a federal judge, saying the detainess are to be released.

Ice refuses.

The LAPD storms the federal building, and takes the federal agents as prisoners.

That was the situation Lincoln was facing when the South Carolina Militia stormed Fort Sumter. It went way beyond an argument over law and procedure and had crossed the line into outright force being applied by the local government against the United States.

A lot of people in this thread need to log off for a while and witness the actual state of the world around them first hand. It's easy to be drawn into despair when you're assaulted by a seemingly endless torrent of stories online about how the nation is on the brink of civil war. Do I sometimes wish that the Trump administration would just get the job done, consequences be damned? Sure, but I also realize that those consequences could have disastrous effects for the future of this nation and it's people.

Most of the people here are here because they fucked up that person's personal outlet beyond the point of disgust.

You want me to go outside, and see the shit-and-rainbow flags lining the streets? Or have to interact with the homeless, who sure as hell weren't here 10 years ago, and sure as hell weren't zombified from Fentanyl 10 years ago. You want me to have to witness the existence of whatever third world country speaking loudly on his bluetooth phone while eating some disgusting curryslop. Are you trying to get me into a car accident with the miserably shitty drivers with "NO NAME GIVEN" licenses? Maybe I'll watch some sports - nope, BLM. Play vidya? Girlboss gamer. Film? There hasn't been a good film in more than a decade, and almost everything coming out is actionslop or superheroslop. Or worse, fucking imported Indian films!

You are either huffing the world's finest dank copium kush or you're too young to realize just how fucking bad things have gotten since Trump's first presidency. Him getting re-elected is the only thing keeping this country together.
 
I'm glad Oz lost, I was on here kinda going I didn't want OZ to lose and GA to go blue senate, but in the end, this guy is the only damn reasonable democrat. I've seen them pull out all the ableism attacks on Fetterman too. Retard faggots.

When afluent, white Democrats live around blacks, they usually provide them with their own quarters.

Why are houses so cheap in Kentucky? Houses that look like they would be $1+ million in my state are like $200k.

That's looking at it backwards. Instead ask, "Why are houses so expensive in my state?"

No developer would built million dollar homes that they could only sell for a fifth of what they put into it.

The negatives I can see are that his initial victory will cause more DSA retards to try their luck across the country and all the well off liberals fleeing the economic ruin he brings will immediately start voting for similar candidates and policies in their new homes. Which they've been doing, granted but there's going to be even more now.

The Democrats who leave are unlikely to put up with that level of insanity. Believe it or not, there are still Democrats that don't want socialism or anything to do with it. If there is a serious outflow of Republicans, moderate Democrats, and the wealthy from New York it will have a side effect of making the city more affordable, which may cause idiot socialist kids to flock to the area rather than living in a red state or their merely blue, but not moonbat liberal, city. Think of it like a quarantine zone, similar to how San Francisco or Portland have become as much over the years.

I owned a house once where the deed required that the only negros on the property would be servants.
Sadly, the deed also had a page stapled to the front saying "Some of the stuff here may no longer be legal, please ignore those portions."

Two of the three examples you provided don't actually involve "going outside". Just watching movies and playing vidya really? Watching sports? Maybe get some friends together and shoot some hoops or some shit. Find something else to do that's not passively watching something or playing vidya for God's sake.

Nuclear is the greenest power we have ironically enough.

This is incoherent to the point, which is that many, many facets of our society are worse than they were 10-15 years ago. I could pick any number of hobbies and you'll find them insufficient for your criteria. But let me accept your terms momentarily. I'll put it into EBT-American, so you can understand.

The asphalt of my court is cracked and uneven. There are no nets, and the backboard has wood-rot and has splinters sticking out which if we're particularly unlucky, pop the ball. The edges of the court are lined with refuse and paraphernalia. That's not mentioning the graffiti, and the homeless who gather around. Any attempts to address the issue either suffer from the tragedy of the commons (who's going to pay to re-pave a public court?), or are actively worked against by forces unknown (any attempts to re-net the hoops result in the nets being torn or missing by the next week).

That's the state of my personal basketball court. It might be your tennis court, your hiking trail, your baseball diamond, your theatre, your local card shop, your library, your writing club, your local gastronomies so on and so forth.

But if you're affluent enough or connected enough (there's no small likelihood that the average farmer probably doesn't have the largest social circle), sure, I can just "shoot hoops with some friends" and stick my head in the sand about the state of civilization decay we find ourselves in. The only way any of this gets better is if we acknowledge that shit's fucked and try to live with it and fix it.

EDIT: And there's this weird troon who always wants to "play", but they constantly cheat and lie and whine and freak out if you do well against them or get physical in any sort of way, driving away some of our other players.
