The United States is in the Star Wars universe.

First there was the Republic. It wasn’t perfect, but peace prevailed. Then a tyrant took power who wanted to make himself emperor, irreplaceable, unchangeable. Then A New Hope was born. But the Emperor strikes back (this is today). We wait for the Jedi to return and the Republic to revive. Unfortunately, that will be short-lived. A new dark force will rise again and subdue the Republic.

    If you wait for a hero to save you, nevermind a group of space wizard heroes, you’re going to have a bad time.

      An antihero is what we really need at a time like this. While heroes like Captain America and Iron Man debate the ethics of rebelling against a corrupt government, someone like Scarlet Witch or Punisher would get shit done.

    TIL: This was NOT a Shitpost! USA is De-Facto in parallel universe. People there are out of touch with reality. Poor little Americans. They deserve what they are getting. And will be worse than it is.

      This American is very aware of the reality forced upon them.

      Why do I deserve this shit show? What reality are you facing where you live?
