Read this, y’all! Yeah, I performed this on Election Day 2016. My intention wasn’t to express my views politically, but in general illustrate how divided we have become as a result. Personally, I believe that unity is the strongest thing we can achieve as a country. Sheet music was stored on a computer I no longer have, but I may get around to posting a transcription of it in the future. Yes, you may use this in your projects, please just give me credit and post a link to it in the comments here! Thank you so much, y’all. I’m not really good at consistent uploads, but I may get around to writing more music and posting it here eventually.

[@sunkcostfallacy2738]

This might be more fitting for 2020 tbh. The country is collapsing, and we have two dementia-addled racist rapist war criminals running against one another. There's a pandemic, social unrests, mass evictions, and an obvious and ominous looming rumble of a massive collapse of the system as we know it. Our choices are basically communism or fascism, and knowing America, it'll likely be fascism coming from the potential future power vacuum. FDR saved capitalism during the Great Depression, but there is no FDR-style candidate to save us this time. That candidate was screwed once again by the corporatists. All we can do is wait, hope, and if you believe in such a thing, pray. America was nice while it lasted I guess. Hopefully, whatever comes after it will be better. That's all we can hope for.

[@notlucas6859]

@@sunkcostfallacy2738 America is not collapsing. Sure, there's a few riots. So what? This has happened to pretty much EVERY country. The riots haven't even affected my home state. Heck, they aren't even riots anymore. Their protests. The evictions aren't massive (yet). I am sure something will be done about it. Possibly a temporary cancellation of rent payments. The pandemic has been handled horribly thanks to our garbage president, and I'm hoping his propaganda hasn't effected us too much to re-elect him. Another president will take charge and lead us through this. The 46th president. Our choices are not fascism or communism. Its more like leaning slightly left or leaning slightly right. Joe Biden, a slightly leaning left politician. There is no perfect middle. Trump, a slightly leaning right politician. Joe would by far be the better choice. Free healthcare doesn't equal socialist. America will make it through. We have made it through the Depression, the Recession, and will now make it through this.

[@sunkcostfallacy2738]

@@notlucas6859 I definitely hope you're right. It's not like I want things to collapse. I hope I'm wrong about this and everything will be fine. I don't know if that's just wishful thinking or actually the way the cards will play out. Regardless, only time will tell. Also, Biden is center right, and Trump is far right, bordering fascistic. Bernie would be center left. America has a particularly right wing overtone window compared to Europe and Canada. What's considered far left here is centrism there.

[@ColonizerChan]

Sunk Cost Fallacy Im a prepper, as well as a secessionist in some ways. The nation is just divided on issues, we’re all still Americans at heart. My biggest worry was Virginia. The Governor and state kept moving goalposts on normal means of recalling and doubled down on controversial laws in a heavily polarized state. Virginia is a mishap of DC yuppies that Control the popular vote in a state where the confederate flag flies less than an hour outside of DC. Lines began to be clearly drawn and tensions rose until the bills that were controversial were shelved to be voted on in senate later on. Virginia has been a tipping point before, and she’ll demand her share of blood when the time is horrid. And if I can live through this shit and still consider my fellow Virginians my countrymen, I saw we have hope.

July 4, 2099 The USA is in ruins. Years of war and hardship have turned the beautiful country into a shattered wasteland, with states seceding left and right. On a raining summer morning, two people, their faces sullen and marked by decades of struggle, scale the wreckage of the Capitol and raise the flag for one final time.

[@regnij01]

While the hardship ensues,the smell of the burning of the Constitution and declaration of Independence fills the air. Small militias from Maryland and Virgina fight over DC.the whit house, Lincoln and Washington memorials, and the federal reserve of DC are on fire.the many small businesses places are overrun.

The year is 2040. The United States has been plunged into wide-spread in-fighting. The federal government has all but failed to keep the peace, with entire states seceding from the Union and people attacking whatever national guard is deployed to stop their spreads of violence. Some quickly rally to new leaders, who are more than willing to abuse the people who look up to them to achieve power. A US soldier, returning home from a violent tour of duty overseas, returns home to New York City. He looks out at what was once his city, but doesn't see it anymore. He sees the Statue of Liberty half-sunk in the water, torn down by protesters. He sees his city, filled with people attacking people. Cops and national guard members trying not just to establish peace but to protect themselves, as hoards of people come down on them with bricks, knives, and even guns. The United States of America is no longer United, and the soldier has not returned home from war. He has returned from war to war, the Second Civil War. The Fall of America.

And the rocket's red glare, The bombs bursting in the air left our flag in the midst of the smog and smoke and tears Oh, say, does that star spangled banner, still wave o'er the land of the Free and Home of the brave On the shore, dimly seen through the smoke and vapor Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence came back to war. What is that which the breeze o'er the towering steep as away it blows half left up half left gone Now it catches on the tree that we torched down In the name, of liberty's crown In fallen glory reflected floats down the stream. Was the star spangled banner we hath waved O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. And where is that band Who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war would leave us a country no more Who with his words he warned and we so foolishly ignored. No refuge we ever were No protection that they came here for. From the war from the flight And the gloom of the war And the star spangled banner In triumph we waved o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. Oh, thus be it ever, when freemen hath stand Between their torched down home and the war from our land Blessed with victory and peace We hath thought we were But a heav'n rescued land Was not safe from the depths of war. We thought, to conquer we must Our cause proved not to be just And our motto would come back to haunt us. And the star spangled banner it doth not wave, o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
